Chemical peel in Islamabad is a very effective skin treatment that exfoliates and removes the top layer of the skin, revealing a new, baby smooth skin without any marks, fine lines, wrinkles, and all. Though it is a very result-oriented treatment, it has some side effects, as well as not being done properly. One of the most common risks of chemical peels is hyperpigmentation, which is why this question, “Can chemical peels lead to hyperpigmentation?” is the most asked when we recommend them to our patients.
Our experts at Royal Cosmetic Surgery in Islamabad perform this procedure with such care and properly guide patients about aftercare, so that patients can have risk-free results.
Why Are Chemical Peels Widely Used?
Chemical peels in Islamabad are one of the most effective treatments, and the reasons for their popularity are the following:
- Addresses multiple skin issues in one go
- Improve skin texture and quality by exfoliating, renewing the new layer of skin through new cell production, and removing old skin.
- Stimulate the production of collagen, which results in smoother and younger-looking skin.
- Available in three different ranges, light, medium, and strong, to address different kinds of skin and their issues
- Remove dead skin cells, and help skin absorption quality get better
- Non-invasive and affordable skin rejuvenation treatment
Can Chemical Peels Lead to Hyperpigmentation?
Chemical peels themselves are not the cause of permanent hyperpigmentation, but rather the improper use of them. Occasionally, temporary cases of darkening of the skin may result if the skin is sensitive and is exposed excessively to light and is not taken care of post-procedure. This condition is usually temporary and preventable.
Chemical peels are commonly used for the treatment of skin that is sensitive to excessive pigmentation, but they are not the cause of the problem themselves if performed by an expert and with proper aftercare guidance.
When Temporary Darkening Can Occur
In addition, skin darkening for a short period can occur if there is irritation of the skin layers during healing processes. In particular, this condition can happen when chemical peels exceed an individual’s skin sensitivity or when individuals do not follow post-treatment directions. Additionally, they can result from failure to use sun protection when healing. Such conditions can be anticipated when an individual has skin pigmentation difficulties before peels.
The Role of Proper Peel Selection for Your Skin Type
Selecting the proper peel is essential. Not all peels will react well on all skin types. A peel that might successfully treat acne scars is not suited for sensitive or very dark-skinned areas. Professionals at RCS first consider the strength of peels, their active chemicals, and the length of application depending on the concerned skin type. Such customization prevents any negative outcome.
How RCS Minimizes Hyperpigmentation Risk
Chemical peeling at Royal Cosmetic Surgery in Islamabad is carried out under a strict emphasis and concern for matters of safety of patients. There are no standard approaches employed in all cases. Every client has a plan customized according to skin color, sensitivity, and existing skin pigmentations. Only approved peeling solutions are used by experts who know all about how skin responds during peeling healing.
Importance of Pre-Peel Skin Assessment and Preparation
Pre-peel evaluation is very important in order to prevent complications. Prior to the procedure, the skin is assessed thoroughly by our experts to look for active acne, infections, sun damage, or prior reactions. There is also some pre-procedure skincare prior to the peel, in which the skin is prepared to build a barrier and normalize the melanin function.
Aftercare Guidelines
- Keep your skin hydrated
- Use SPF daily
- Avoid the sun as much as you can, as UV rays can trigger pigmentation
- Do not exfoliate your skin for a few days after the session
- Follow your doctor’s advice to have a smooth recovery
