Chemical Peel Treatment – RxDx Clinics
Your skin constantly battles environmental aggressors like UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals. Coupled with factors such as ageing, hormonal changes, stress, and acne, this results in surface-level damage that builds up over time. The effects?
- Persistent hyperpigmentation (melasma, post-acne marks)
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Textural roughness and enlarged pores
- Fine lines and early signs of photoaging
- Chronic acne and clogged pores
These concerns often don’t respond adequately to topical creams or home care alone. That’s where chemical peels step in. A medically supervised treatment designed to accelerate skin cell turnover, lift pigmentation, smoothen texture, and brighten the skin by exfoliating damaged surface layers.
