Chemical Peel
Are you looking to erase acne scars, dark spots, or freckles? Avané Clinic in Nairobi offers chemical peel treatment that can help you achieve smoother, clearer skin. Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, revealing a fresh, rejuvenated complexion underneath. Our experienced professionals use advanced techniques to ensure your skin receives the best care possible, tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are dealing with fine lines, blemishes, or uneven skin tone, a chemical peel at Avané Clinic can help you achieve your desired results with minimal downtime.
How does chemical peel work?
The treatment works by applying a specially formulated solution to the skin, causing the outer layers to exfoliate and peel away in a controlled manner. This encourages the regeneration of new skin cells and helps reveal a smoother, brighter and more even-looking complexion. Chemical peels can be customised according to individual skin concerns and treatment goals. There are three main types of peels: superficial, medium and deep. Each works at a different depth and may be used to address concerns such as uneven skin tone, pigmentation, fine lines, acne and textural irregularities. At Avané Clinic, treatment selection is guided by your skin type and individual needs.
What should I expect duringchemical peel treatment?
During a chemical peel treatment, a trained professional will first cleanse and prepare your skin before applying the selected chemical solution evenly to the treatment area. The peel is carefully monitored while it works on the outer layers of the skin. You may experience a mild tingling, warmth or stinging sensation, depending on the type and strength of the peel used. After the recommended application time, the solution is neutralised or removed, and soothing skincare may be applied to help calm the skin. Some redness, sensitivity or peeling may occur afterwards as the skin begins its renewal process.
What are the results and benefits of chemical peel?
There are three main types of chemical peels: mild peels using alphahydroxy acid (AHA), moderate peels using trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and strong peels using phenol. Each targets different skin issues and depths. The benefits include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, diminishing acne scars and dark spots, improving skin texture, and promoting a more even skin tone.
