Skin pigmentation, a common cosmetic skin problem characterised by age spots, dark patches, or uneven skin tone, is an outcome of extra, localised deposition of the skin coloring pigment- the melanin produced by melanocytes, the specialised skin cells. Over or frequent sun/UV exposure, fluctuating hormones, acne breakouts, heredity, and aging all can lead to melanin excess and subsequently pigmentation irregularities. Thankfully, the pigmentation or skin darkening concern is addressable by a dermatologist with cosmetic skin whitening treatment in Bangalore like Chemical Peels! 

In this read learn about chemical peels, their mechanism of action, and why they must be chosen for correcting hyperpigmentation and improving skin tone and texture. 

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are the skin exfoliating acids that are available in various strengths, based on the level of skin exfoliation required: Superficial, Medium, or Deep. Some popular examples of chemical peels include lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid. 

How Chemical Peels Work for Skin Pigmentation and Skin Whitening?

When a chemical peel is applied to the skin, it causes controlled skin injury that stimulates the natural healing response- the collagen skin remodelling. There is controlled removal of the damaged skin cells (including excess melanocytes), impurities, and excess oil. After the pigmented skin sheds naturally, the skin naturally heals and regenerates itself so that it looks healthier and uniformly toned and textured. The melanin production and distribution within the skin also get disrupted to fade dark spots/patches and even prevent them.   

Why Choose Chemical Peels for Skin Pigmentation and Skin Whitening?

• Availability of chemical solutions for fading different depths of pigmentation
• Creation of more uniform, balanced skin tone and texture
• Transformation of dull, dead skin to radiant, glowing, brighter skin
• Minimally invasive, customisable treatment
• Versatile solution for different forms of hyperpigmentation, aging skin concerns, and other cosmetic issues
• Cost-effective.

When Not to Consider Chemical Peeling?

Chemical peel treatment for skin pigmentation removal and skin whitening is contraindicated for those:

• Who has or had unusual skin scarring with extra coloring
• Who are having active skin conditions or medications that make them sensitive to chemical peels
• Who can’t stay indoors during their healing period.
