What are the causes?

Chemical Peels can be a treatment for conditions such as:

Acne

Acne is caused by an inflammation of the sebaceous glands which, when clogged, increase the proliferation of the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes, causing skin eruptions. Acne can last for several months or even years and affect both teenagers and adults.

Dilated pores

Dilated pores are often caused by excessive sebum production, loss of skin elasticity, or aging, which causes the pores to appear larger and more visible.

Dull Complexion

A dull complexion often results from dead skin cell buildup, dehydration, or environmental factors such as pollution and UV exposure.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin fibers in the skin decrease with age, leading to less elasticity and firmness.

Hands

Hands often show signs of aging and damage due to constant exposure to the environment and less protection than other parts of the body.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps.

Scars

Scars form as part of the skin's healing process after an injury or inflammation, with their appearance depending on the depth and location of the wound.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when excess melanin is produced, often due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injury.

Acne Scarring

Severe acne often results in scarring that can be treated with laser resurfacing to promote collagen regeneration.

Rosacea and Redness

Rosacea and redness can be treated with the GentleMax Pro Plus laser, reducing visible blood vessels and calming skin inflammation.

Congested Pores and Blackheads

BHA peels and other chemical peels are effective in clearing out clogged pores and reducing blackheads.

Aging

Aging is a natural biological process, its effects on the skin—such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dryness, and uneven skin tone—are often treated and managed within the realm of skincare. Many skincare products and treatments focus on addressing and minimizing these signs of aging to maintain a youthful and healthy appearance.
