Chemical facial treatments, often known as chemical peels, have become an essential part of modern skincare. To gain deeper insights into these transformative treatments, we spoke with Joanne Jackson, a renowned skin specialist using the latest CLINICARE® products, at leading clinic known for its advanced skincare solutions.
Understanding Chemical Peels
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process reveals fresher, younger-looking skin beneath and stimulates new cell growth. The type of chemical peel used can vary based on the specific skin concerns being addressed.
Joanne Jackson's Expertise
Joanne Jackson, with over two decades of experience in dermatology and skincare, is a highly respected expert in the field. Her work involving the latest range of products from Clinicare® has helped countless patients achieve healthier, more radiant skin through personalized skincare regimens and advanced treatments.
Types of Chemical Peels
Jackson explains the different types of chemical peels available using the Clinicare® range, each designed to target specific skin concerns:
Superficial Peels: Using mild acids like glycolic acid or lactic acid, these peels gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. "Superficial peels are perfect for patients looking to brighten their complexion and improve skin texture with minimal downtime," says Jackson.
Medium Peels: Medium-depth peels, such as those containing trichloroacetic acid (TCA), penetrate deeper to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. "These peels are great for more pronounced skin concerns and offer more dramatic results," she adds.
Deep Peels: For severe skin issues like deep wrinkles and significant sun damage, deep peels using phenol are available. "Deep peels provide the most significant improvements but require a longer recovery period and are typically reserved for more extensive skin rejuvenation needs," explains Jackson.
The Benefits of Using Chemical Peels
There are several benefits of chemical peels, highlighting why they are a popular choice among her clients:
Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels effectively smoothen rough skin, enhancing overall skin texture.
Anti-Aging Effects: By stimulating collagen production, peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne Treatment: Peels can unclog pores and reduce inflammation, making them effective for treating acne and preventing future breakouts.
Even Skin Tone: They help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
Enhanced Absorption: Post-peel skin is more receptive to skincare products, maximizing their efficacy.

Safety and Aftercare
Joanne also stresses the importance of proper aftercare following a chemical peel.

This includes using gentle skincare products, applying sunscreen diligently, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
