Chemical Peel Treatment In Delhi: Cost, Procedure & Results

Acne Control Peel (ACP):  It primarily contains salicylic acid, which clears your pores, reduces existing acne and prevents new ones. This peel works great for all skin types but is avoidable for those with aspirin allergies.

• Concerns Treated: It reduces acne, especially eliminates comedones and controls the skin’s oiliness.
• Benefits: ACP minimises sebum production and clears acne.
• Downtime: There is no downtime. Dryness is one of the mild side effects of acne control peel. However, your dermatologist may recommend using a non-comedogenic moisturiser suited to your skin type as part of the post-care to minimise it.

Brightening Peel (No Melan Fenol): Experienced dermatologists recommend a unique blend with phenol and plant-based acids, including retinoic, ascorbic, salicylic, trichloroacetic, glycolic phytic and mandelic acid for controlled exfoliation and rejuvenating the epidermis.

• Concerns Treated: Useful in treating acanthosis nigricans, superficial wrinkles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and melasma.
• Benefits: Effectively minimises pigmentation and dullness due to premature skin ageing.
• Downtime: It causes visible peeling for 5-7 days post-treatment.

Reviving Peel (No Melan Fenol + Retisis Forte Cream): It is similar to the No Melan Fenol peel. However, dermatologists additionally use Retisis Forte (retinol) cream to strengthen its efficacy.

• Concerns Treated: Helpful in minimising keratosis pilaris and skin darkening secondary to friction.
• Benefits: It helps achieve smooth skin texture and even skin tone and is suitable for treating the face and other body areas.
• Downtime: One can note peeling for 5-7 days on the face and 10-14 days on the neck/arms.

Radiance Peel (SesGlyco K): It combines two key skin-lightening agents, glycolic acid and kojic acid.

• Concerns Treated: It reduces tan and post-acne blemishes.
• Benefits: It stimulates skin rejuvenation and restores your youthful glow. It is super safe for sensitive skin.
• Downtime: There is no prolonged recovery involved.

Skin Rejuvenation Peel: Glycolic acid is a sugar cane extract commonly used by dermatologists to address various skin concerns. This alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, leading to gentle exfoliation of the top layers of skin and regeneration of healthier and brighter skin.

• Concerns Treated: It effectively minimises acne, superficial acne scars, tan, dark spots, melasma and uneven skin tone.
• Benefits: It helps achieve clear skin and blemish-free complexion.
• Downtime: Depending on the concentration of the peel used, you may experience mild redness, flaking and dryness that would subside in a few days.

Dark Circle Peel: The specialised treatment for the delicate eye area involves applying lactic acid peel and arginine peel sequentially. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves dead cells and a derivative of milk with skin-lightening properties. Arginine peel is an extract of brown sugar that stimulates collagen production and moisturises the skin.

• Concerns Treated: Periorbital hyperpigmentation or dark circles.
• Benefits: It helps in reducing under-eye pigmentation and has a refreshing effect eliminating the tired look visibly.
• Downtime:  This peel doesn’t have any recovery time.

Pre-Treatment: During the initial consultation, a qualified dermatologist will analyse your skin type and identify concern type, cause and severity. After a thorough examination, they will prescribe a suitable peel as a solo or adjunct procedure. They will also recommend the number of sessions you need at scheduled intervals to achieve optimal results. Before the treatment, your dermatologist at Oliva will inform you about the benefits and risks associated with the peel and share the following pre-care instructions to ensure your skin’s safety:

• Avoid scrubs or home remedies for two days before the procedure.
• Refrain from parlour services such as threading and waxing in the target area for a week before the peel treatment.
• Do not apply makeup on the day of the procedure.
• Stop using night cream/specified medicated products for 4-6 days before the chemical peel session.
• Remember to apply the prescribed moisturiser three days before the procedure.

During The Treatment: Before the procedure, your doctor will perform a patch test as a precautionary measure. After that, trained therapists will apply petroleum jelly to the sensitive areas of the face and then the chemical peel under medical supervision after covering the eyes with wet cotton. After a specified time interval, the therapists will neutralise and remove the peel with a cotton pad. They will also apply a cold compress, moisturiser and sunscreen to minimise discomfort and protect your rejuvenated skin.

Post-Treatment: You will receive detailed post-care instructions from the medical team to help you achieve the best results that include the following:

• Avoid using the cleanser; wash your face with water for the first 12 hours.
• Do not perform strenuous exercises for the next 24 hours to prevent excessive sweating.
• Apply a suitable moisturiser.
• Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply it every three hours.
• Refrain from home remedies for three days and parlour activities for one-week post-treatment.
• Avoid using makeup for 24 hours after the peel.
