What is Medical Dermatology?
A chemical peel is a dermatologist-performed procedure that uses specially formulated solutions to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates new skin cell growth, improves skin texture, and helps reduce concerns such as acne marks (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation), sun damage (Photoaging), melasma, pigmentation, and fine lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are chemical peels safe?
Yes. When performed by a qualified dermatologist like Dr. Ketki Bhoite, chemical peels are safe and customised according to your skin type and concerns. A detailed skin assessment is always done before treatment.
Will my skin peel after treatment?
Not necessarily. Some peels cause visible peeling, while others work beneath the surface with minimal or no visible peeling. The type of peel depends on your treatment goals.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the concern being treated. Many patients benefit from a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart for optimal and long-lasting results.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience only mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. The treatment is generally well tolerated and completed within a short time.
Can chemical peels treat acne scars?
Chemical peels can improve superficial acne scars, post-acne pigmentation, and skin texture. Deeper scars may require a combination of treatments, which Dr. Ketki Bhoite will discuss during your consultation.
