Body Chemical Peels in Karachi
Even, brighter skin on the knees, elbows, underarms, inner thighs, back and chest. Medical-strength peels chosen for the area and the depth of the pigment, by a dermatologist.
Are body peels right for me?
- For darkened underarms, knees, elbows, inner thighs, neck, back or chest, and for body acne and its marks.
- Three to six sessions of about thirty minutes, two to four weeks apart, with light flaking for a few days.
- Visible brightening from the second session; the full result at the end of the course.
Even tone, everywhere.
Pigmentation on the body, the darker skin on the knees, elbows, underarms, inner thighs, back and chest, comes from excess melanin triggered by friction, sun, hormones, shaving or old acne. It is one of the most common reasons patients come to the clinic, and one of the most treatable.
Chemical peels for the body use stronger, deeper-acting formulas than facial peels, chosen by Dr. Fehmida for the area and the depth of the pigment. Superficial peels treat mild sun damage and tone; medium peels treat stubborn friction darkening and melasma-type pigment; deeper peels address acne scarring on the back and chest. Each peel removes the damaged surface and signals the skin to produce new, evenly pigmented cells.
Most areas need a course of three to six peels, two to four weeks apart, with a simple home routine between sessions to protect the result.
The areas patients ask about most.
