There are several types of chemical used for peeling , such as Glycolic acid (AHA) , Salicylic acid (BHA) , and Trichloroacetic. Different type of chemical peels are used for different purposes depend upon the patient’s concerns. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) are natural fruit acids. They gently rejuvenates the skin by encouraging the shedding of old, sun-damaged surface skin cells. A series of natural fruit acid peels stimulate new collagen and production, improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of pore size, improve the appearance of fine lines, crepiness, blotchiness, irregular pigmentation, improve appearance of shallow acne scars. After light peels, the treated skin turns red or pink and heals without crusting. The skin underneath has a fresher, healthier look with a more even color and texture. Facial peels using Glycolic Acid (AHA) or Salicylic Acid (BHA) are excellent anti-aging and acne/scar treatments.

How Frequent Is Required for chemical peeling ?
In most cases, a single chemical peel is not enough—especially when treating persistent issues like acne, oiliness, dark spots, or pigmentation.
This is because sebaceous glands naturally continue to produce oil, and chemical peeling does not permanently alter their function.
As a result, dermatologists typically recommend undergoing chemical peels regularly, every 4–6 weeks, to maintain clear, balanced, and radiant skin.
Over time, consistent treatments can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
