Chemical Peel

A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution to exfoliate the skin's surface, improving tone, texture, dullness, congestion and early signs of ageing. KM Dental Experts offers several peel types — including almond, salicylic, glycolic, pyruvic and TCA — so the strength and active can be matched to your skin and goal. Peels work best as a short course, with strict sun protection advised afterwards.

A chemical peel uses a solution of one or more acids to loosen and remove the outermost layers of skin in a controlled way, prompting fresher skin to surface and stimulating renewal underneath. Depending on the acid and concentration, peels can brighten a dull complexion, smooth rough texture, help with congestion and blemish-prone skin, soften the look of fine lines and improve uneven tone. KM Dental Experts offers a range within its aesthetic-medicine menu — almond (mandelic), salicylic, glycolic, pyruvic and a TCA 25% peel — so the treatment can be tailored to your skin type and concern. After cleansing, the chosen solution is applied for a measured time and then neutralised or removed; you may feel mild tingling or warmth during the peel. Lighter superficial peels such as mandelic or glycolic generally cause only mild redness and perhaps a little flaking over the following days, while stronger options like TCA work more deeply and involve more visible peeling and recovery. The doctor selects the appropriate strength and explains what to expect for your skin. Because results are cumulative, a short course of peels spaced a few weeks apart usually gives a better outcome than a single session, and the skin's response guides how the course progresses. Diligent daily sun protection is essential during and after treatment, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV. Peels are suited to adults wanting to refresh skin quality; some are avoided in pregnancy or on certain skin conditions, and the doctor reviews suitability, home care and SPF at consultation.
