Chemical Peel for Skin Whitening
Chemical Peel Treatment for Skin Whitening in Hyderabad
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin in order to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including skin discoloration and dullness, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical peels can be performed at different depths, depending on the specific skin concern being treated. Superficial peels are the mildest type of chemical peel and only affect the outermost layer of the skin, while medium and deep peels penetrate deeper into the skin.
For skin whitening specifically, a superficial or medium-depth chemical peel is usually recommended. The chemical solution used in the peel will typically contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), which are known for their exfoliating properties and ability to promote cell turnover.
Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for skin whitening, but it is important to consult with an expert dermatologist to determine the appropriate type and strength of peel for your individual skin concerns and to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.

About Chemical Peel Treatment for Skin Whitening
Your face is cleansed thoroughly after the procedure. The appropriate chemical peel solution will be applied to your skin using a brush or cotton swab. The solution may be left on the skin for a specific amount of time, depending on the type of peel and your skin type. After the peel has been applied for the recommended time, the solution is neutralised by applying a neutralising agent or cool compress to your skin. The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any remaining traces of the chemical peel solution and a moisturiser or soothing cream applied to minimise any redness or irritation.
During the chemical peel procedure for skin whitening, you may experience a slight stinging or burning sensation, which is normal. The severity of these sensations will depend on the type of peel and your individual skin sensitivity. The duration of the procedure will also depend on the type of peel and the size of the treatment area.
Be patient. It can take several days to a week for the skin to fully heal after a chemical peel treatment. During this time, it is normal to experience some redness, peeling, or flaking. Be patient and allow your skin to heal at its own pace.
FAQ
Which type of chemical peel is best for my skin type and concerns?
The type of chemical peel that is best for your skin type and concerns will depend on a number of factors, including the specific skin concern you wish to address, the depth of the peel, and your skin type and sensitivity.
What types of chemical peels are available for skin whitening?
Superficial peels: Superficial peels are the mildest type of chemical peel and are suitable for all skin types. They are typically used to address mild skin discoloration and dullness, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Common ingredients used in superficial peels include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid, and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), such as salicylic acid.
Medium peels: Medium peels are slightly more aggressive than superficial peels and are typically used to address moderate skin discoloration and pigmentation issues, as well as acne scars and fine lines. Common ingredients used in medium peels include trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and Jessner’s solution.
Deep peels: Deep peels are the most aggressive type of chemical peel and are typically used to address severe skin discoloration and pigmentation issues, as well as deep wrinkles and scars. Deep peels can only be performed by a qualified healthcare professional, as they can cause significant skin damage and require a longer recovery time. Common ingredients used in deep peels include phenol and high-concentration TCA.
Your dermatologist will help determine any potential risks or complications based on your skin type and medical history.
Is the chemical peel treatment painful?
The level of pain or discomfort experienced during a chemical peel treatment can vary depending on the type and strength of the peel, as well as individual pain tolerance. Generally, superficial peels cause minimal to no pain, while medium and deep peels may cause varying levels of discomfort.
During the chemical peel treatment, you may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation on the skin, which is normal and expected. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to inform the dermatologist performing the treatment immediately. After the treatment, you may experience some redness, flaking, and peeling of the skin. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside within a few days to a week, depending on the depth of the peel.
How long does the chemical peel procedure take?
The duration of a chemical peel procedure can vary depending on the type and strength of the peel, as well as the size of the treatment area. Superficial peels, which are the mildest type of peel, may only take 15-30 minutes to perform, while medium and deep peels may take longer.
In general, the chemical peel procedure involves several steps, including cleansing the skin, applying the chemical peel solution, and neutralising and removing the solution. The amount of time each step takes will depend on the type of peel and the size of the treatment area. While the actual chemical peel procedure may only take a short amount of time, you should plan for additional time for preparation and post-peel care. This may include applying soothing creams or ointments to the skin after the peel to promote healing and minimise discomfort.
Overall, the duration of the chemical peel procedure can range from 15 minutes to an hour or longer, depending on the specific circumstances of your treatment.
How long is the recovery time after a chemical peel treatment for skin whitening?
The recovery time after a chemical peel treatment for skin whitening can vary depending on the type and strength of the peel, as well as individual skin sensitivity and the size of the treatment area.
What are the side effects of the chemical peel treatment?
While it is a safe procedure, the peels may have some minor side effects depending on the type of peel:
- Superficial peels, which are the mildest type of peel, may only cause minor redness and flaking for a few days to a week.
- Medium and deep peels may cause more significant peeling and redness for up to two weeks or more.
Client Testimonials
I had lovely laugh lines that made me look attractive when I smiled, or so my friends said. But it worried me that my skin was getting less supple as I grew older. Having read and heard so much about skin tightening treatments, I decided to give it a shot. My first consultation at Ambrosia helped me understand what to expect and how to care for my skin post procedure. Dr. Priti’s thoroughness during the examination was very reassuring too. I thoroughly recommend everyone who is concerned about their skin looking uncared for as they age. Ambrosia totally helped me remind myself that age is only a number. Thank you Dr. Priti for your magic.

My teenage acne had left a lot of scars on my face. That was all I saw when I looked in the mirror. While searching for treatment, I came across Ambrosia and decided to check out what could be done about it. My first impression when I walked in was one of complete ease with the warmth of the staff and the calm atmosphere. The initial consultation helped me understand what can be done to gradually remove the scars on my face as well as what I needed to do post-procedure. I am so happy with the results and go out of my way to mention Ambrosia whenever someone points out how smooth and beautiful my skin looks now. Thank you Ambrosia!

I had broken my nose as a child after a fall. It was misshapen because of that. The twisted nose also led to breathing problems. Searching for solutions, I came across Ambrosia Clinic and the procedures they offer to correct that. I was suggested surgery. I am thankful to the team of plastic surgeons who helped correct my nose as well as the breathing problems. My recovery time was minimal and I am able to lead a normal life since then. A big thank you to the great team at Ambrosia.

I had skin pigmentation on my face. It always made me conscious and I would hide it with layers of makeup. My friend suggested I meet Dr. Priti and do something about it instead of hiding behind makeup. I did not know what to expect, but was totally blown away by her warmth and the modern set up at Ambrosia. She not only explained the procedures I could get done but also what to expect at each stage during recovery. I thoroughly recommend Ambrosia and especially Dr. Priti to everyone.
