Skin Lightening Peels

What are Skin Lightening Peels?

Skin lightening peels are a type of chemical peel treatment designed to even out skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation. They work by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, allowing new, evenly pigmented skin to emerge. Commonly used peels include alpha hydroxy acids (such as glycolic and lactic acids), beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These treatments improve skin texture and radiance and are effective for reducing dark spots, melasma, and other pigmentation issues.

Types of Skin Lightening Peels

Glycolic Acid (GA): Also known as a fruit peel, GA peels are inexpensive with no downtime. Typically used in 30-70% concentrations, these peels have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Sessions are recommended every 2-3 weeks for a total of 4-6 treatments.
Lactic Acid (LA): Derived from milk, lactic acid peels reduce cell cohesion and work well for lightening dark spots, often used at 92% strength. Applied every 3 weeks for best results.
Salicylic Acid (SA): This beta hydroxy acid is useful for exfoliating the top layer of skin, reducing pigmentation and inflammation. Salicylic acid peels are used in 20-30% concentrations to lighten superficial skin pigment.
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): A vinegar-derived acid, TCA peels offer deeper penetration for more substantial results. Used at 15% for superficial effects, these peels are conducted monthly, usually in a series of four treatments.

What Our Clients Say

Prashanth

Doctor is excellent in explaining and doing the needful treatment. In this clinic, I felt the people are not money minded like you see in most of the places. Here only the treatment is given which is needed for you, not like convincing to provide every service available there to get more money which happens in most of the places.

Venkata Lakshmi G

The best clinic for hair removal treatment. Thick body and facial hair was my greatest worry and I did a lot of research in finding a clinic with a good doctor and an advanced laser machine. Even after reading and knowing a lot about the technology, I was apprehensive during my first visit. Dr. Sirisha took time to make me understand all the details about the process and the way she explained made me confident and comfortable. After 3 sessions now I hardly have hair. Appointments are well managed. Clinic is very neatly maintained.
