We Specialise in Chemical peels to remove imperfections and make the skin look fresher and younger!
Non-surgical chemical peels can effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. This eliminates the dead cells on the surface, allowing new, healthy skin to grow. At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, Dr Selvam and Dr Nirmala, with over 20 years of experience, offer expert dermatological care.
To remove the outermost layer of damaged skin and reveal younger-looking skin below, a chemical peel is used. The process works by sloughing off dead skin cells to make way for the regeneration of new, healthy skin. It's one of the most sought-after alternatives to surgical removal of skin imperfections like wrinkles, discolouration, and scarring.
We use an oil-absorbing agent to cleanse the skin while the eyes and hair are safeguarded. The next step is to have a chemical solution rubbed into your skin. Acidic solutions like glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol) are frequently used. When applied to the skin, the various chemicals cause a controlled injury at varying depths before peeling away to reveal fresh skin.
Chemical peels come in various formulations, each designed to address a specific skin issue. The doctor will determine which peel will work best for your skin. You can shed the outer layer of skin with the help of a superficial chemical peel (epidermis). It helps with dryness, dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. Medium chemical peels remove cells from the epidermis and a small amount from the dermis (the skin's middle layer). Wrinkles, acne scars, and a dull complexion are all things it can fix. A deep chemical peel goes deeper into the skin and removes even more layers of dead skin. Your doctor may suggest one if you have deep wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths.
At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, we carefully monitor and regulate the use of selected chemicals to exfoliate away dead skin and restore your skin's natural glow.
If you are concerned about wrinkles and fine lines on your face, then you should see AKJ Skin and Laser Centre for Chemical Peeling Therapy in Tirunelveli as there are several effective treatments and surgery available for all sorts of hair and skin problems.
We can use chemical peels medically to treat specific skin conditions or cosmetically to enhance the skin's tone and texture. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions based on the type of peel you're getting and the state of your skin. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind both before and after the procedure:

Chemical peels come in three distinct varieties.Some of these are:
Variations in skin type, the specific skin condition being treated, and individual sensitivity all play a role in how well these therapies work. Most of the time, 3 to 6 sessions are needed, but a consultation with a dermatologist can give a more precise answer.
Superficial peels are the gentlest and can be used on any skin type. Redness, peeling skin, and sun sensitivity are all potential side effects of any chemical peel and may extend the time needed for recovery. However, people with darker skin tones are more likely to see their skin darken after receiving treatment. To lessen the likelihood of hyperpigmentation, it would be beneficial to consult a dermatologist regarding alternative treatments.
Chemical peels work best on patients with fair skin and light hair. Depending on the nature of the issue being treated, those with darker skin tones may also see improvement. You shouldn't get a chemical peel if:
Chemical peels are most effective on superficial skin issues, while more pervasive problems (such as sagging skin or deep wrinkles) may require a different approach.
When performed by a qualified dermatologist, chemical peels are entirely risk-free. Depending on the skin type, mild redness can last anywhere from two to eight days. Mild peeling, dryness, acne breakouts during the first two peels, scarring, inflammation, and sun sensitivity are also possible. All of these can be cured, and you can avoid most cases with the right dermatologist-prescribed treatments and diligent aftercare.
These treatments typically last between 20 and 45 minutes, and there is minimal recovery time involved. Some chemical peels are single treatments and involve no downtime. Some peels need to be done in a series, with a recovery time of 7-10 days and the use of sunblock on the peeled area, which can be pretty sensitive. There may be some tingling or numbness during the peeling process, but this is normal. In addition to your skin's noticeable glow, you'll notice a tingling sensation as soon as the procedure is over. After washing your face, this will quickly go away.
