A chemical peel is a popular skin treatment used for acne marks, pigmentation, dullness and uneven texture. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, the peel is chosen after a skin consultation, based on your skin type, your concern and how your skin has reacted to treatments before.

A chemical peel applies a solution to the skin to exfoliate dead cells, unclog pores and encourage new skin growth. Peels are grouped as superficial, medium or deep, and the depth decides how strong the treatment is and how long the skin takes to recover.
Made with acids such as glycolic or lactic acid. Used for dullness, uneven texture and light pigmentation. Downtime is usually minimal, with slight redness at most. Several sessions are commonly needed.
Made with acids such as TCA or salicylic acid. Used for moderate acne marks, pigmentation and fine lines. Redness and peeling may last several days.
Deep peels are much stronger, need a longer recovery and careful medical supervision, and are only suitable for selected patients. Your doctor will tell you whether they are appropriate for you.
This is a general guide only. The doctor makes the final choice after examining your skin.
| Skin concern | Peels commonly used |
|---|---|
| Acne and acne marks | Salicylic acid peel |
| Pigmentation | Glycolic acid peel, TCA peel |
| Fine lines | TCA peel, Jessner's peel |
| Dull, uneven skin | Lactic acid peel, glycolic acid peel |
People with medium to dark skin tones, common in India, are more likely to develop dark marks after strong peels, so the peel strength is chosen carefully. Read more about acne treatment in Narela if acne is your main concern.

Most people feel mild tingling or a warm, stinging sensation that settles quickly.
It depends on the peel and your skin concern. Mild peels usually need several sessions, while stronger peels need fewer. Your doctor will plan this with you.
Not always. Suitability depends on your skin type and tone, your skin condition and any medicines you use, which is why a consultation comes first.
