What are AHA chemical peels and how do they work?

AHA chemical peels are exfoliating treatments made with alpha hydroxy acids that help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, promoting renewal and improving texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Are AHA chemical peels suitable for all skin types?

AHA chemical peels are generally suitable for most skin types, particularly for those with dry or sun-damaged skin. However, individuals with very sensitive or reactive skin should consult a dermatologist before undergoing treatment.

What are the potential side effects of AHA peels?

Common side effects of AHA peels include redness, peeling, dryness, and mild irritation. These effects typically subside within a few days post-treatment.

How do AHA peels compare to other types of chemical peels?

AHA peels primarily target surface-level skin concerns and are generally milder than other chemical peels, like TCA or phenol peels, which penetrate deeper and can address more severe skin issues.

How often can I get an AHA chemical peel?

The frequency of AHA chemical peels can vary depending on individual skin needs and the specific formulation used, but most practitioners recommend treatments every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal results.
