Chemical Peel

Chemical peeling is one of the most powerful methods of skin resurfacing available in cosmetic dermatology. However, it is also one of the most misunderstood and misused treatments—especially when people try to perform it athome using over-the-counter products. At Yoskarn Clinic Bangkok, our chemical peel treatments are performed under strict medical supervision to ensure both safety and beautiful results.

The Truth About Chemical Peeling

Many beauty stores and online retailers sell skin peeling products that may contain genuine active ingredients. However, improper use can lead to severe irritation, burns, or over-thinning of the skin. It’s common to see individuals with overly red or fragile skin due to unregulated chemical peeling done at home.

It’s important to understand that chemical peeling is not harmful by nature—it becomes dangerous only when applied incorrectly. Each skin type reacts differently, and what works for one person may cause adverse reactions in another. Therefore, all chemical peels should be performed under the guidance of a qualified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel involves the application of a specialized chemical solution to the skin. The solution causes controlled exfoliation of the damaged outer layers, stimulating the growth of new, smoother, and more radiant skin beneath. Depending on the formulation and depth of penetration, chemical peels are classified into:

• Superficial Peel – Uses mild acids to treat minor skin flaws such as sun-damaged spots and uneven tone.
• Medium Peel – Penetrates deeper into the skin to address fine lines, mild acne scars, and pigmentation.
• Deep Peel – Reaches multiple skin layers to treat severe wrinkles, acne scars, and discoloration. This type requires professional monitoring and is done only once.

How Is Chemical Peel Performed?

At Yoskarn Clinic, all chemical peel treatments are carried out by trained professionals under sterile and safe conditions. The chosen chemical solution is applied evenly over the face and left for a specific duration, depending on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals. Our medical staff monitor your skin reaction closely throughout the procedure to ensure safety and comfort.

Afterward, the solution is neutralized and removed. A soothing post-peel care regimen will be provided to support healing and reduce redness.

What to Expect After Chemical Peel

After a peel, your skin may appear pink or reddish for several days to weeks, depending on the depth of treatment. For deeper peels, scabbing or flaking may occur as old skin is replaced by new tissue. Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and use high-SPF sunscreen during recovery.

Those undergoing medium or deep peels may be advised to wear light protective dressings for a few days to minimize infection risk. Healing can take anywhere from one week to six months depending on the type of peel performed.

While chemical peel technically works by creating a “controlled chemical burn,” this process is what stimulates regeneration—and must only be performed by a qualified medical professional.
