Introduction
Chemical peeling is not an advanced dermatological treatment that will bring back the radiance of your skin. We at Twacha Aesthetics feel that smooth glowing skin is everyone’s birthright. Dead skin cells are removed from the skin and collagen is boosted, leading to skin exfoliation for conditions like acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and dullness.
No matter what your reason might be – whether for short-term revitalization of skin or complete rejuvenation – chemical peels can be your first option for your skin. This entire book discusses the process of chemical peels, its advantages, and types, and the expectations before and after treatment.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels is a procedure whereby a chemical solution is applied to the skin to get rid of the outer layers of the skin. The solution identifies the damaged upper layers as rubbish and induces fresh, healthy skin. Chemical peels can be tailored according to the type of skin, issue, and expected result.
