Acid peeling treatment is one of the most popular skin procedures today for improving skin texture, glow, and clarity. It is widely chosen by people dealing with dull skin, pigmentation, acne marks, uneven tone, and early signs of ageing. At Clinica Derm, Hyderabad, acid peels are used carefully to refresh the skin without causing harsh damage or long downtime.
This treatment works gently on the skin’s surface to remove dead cells and encourage healthy new skin growth, making it suitable for many skin types when done correctly.
What Is Acid Peeling Treatment?
Acid peeling treatment is a type of chemical peel that uses mild acids to exfoliate the skin. These acids help loosen and remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve overall skin appearance. Unlike deep peels, acid peels are usually superficial and focus on improving skin quality safely.
Common acids used in peeling treatments include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). These acids work on different skin concerns and are selected based on skin type and goals. When performed under expert guidance, acid peeling is safe, effective, and delivers visible results.
Types of Acid Peeling Solutions Used
Different peeling solutions are used depending on the skin concern:
Glycolic acid peeling solution
Glycolic acid is derived from sugarcane and is one of the most widely used peeling agents. It helps brighten dull skin, reduce pigmentation, smooth fine lines, and improve uneven texture. This peel is especially useful for people with sun damage and tired-looking skin.
Lactic acid peeling solution
Lactic acid comes from milk and is known for its gentle and hydrating nature. It exfoliates while maintaining moisture, making it ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin. Lactic acid peels improve skin glow and softness without causing excessive irritation.
Salicylic acid peeling solution
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and works deep inside pores. It is highly effective for oily and acne-prone skin. This peel helps reduce acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil while calming inflammation.
Each peel is chosen carefully after assessing the skin, ensuring the best results with minimal discomfort.
How Acid Peels Improve Skin Health
Acid peels work by breaking the bond between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed naturally. This process reveals fresher, healthier skin underneath. Over time, peeling treatments also support better cell turnover and improve skin texture.
Regular acid peeling treatment helps:
- Reduce pigmentation and tanning
- Improve acne and acne marks
- Smooth rough and uneven skin
- Brighten dull complexion
- Minimize fine lines
- Unclog pores and control oil
Because these peels are mild, recovery time is usually short, with only light flaking or dryness for a few days.
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
The treatment process is simple and quick. The skin is first cleansed, and the selected peeling solution is applied for a controlled time. You may feel mild tingling or warmth, which settles quickly. The peel is then neutralized, and calming products are applied.
After the peel, the skin may look slightly red or feel dry. Mild peeling can occur over the next few days. Proper aftercare, including moisturising and sun protection, is important for best results. Visible improvement is often noticed within a week.
Is Acid Peeling Right for You?
Acid peeling treatment suits most people when customized correctly. However, it is important to avoid self-application of strong acids at home, as improper use can damage the skin barrier. A professional assessment helps decide the right acid type, strength, and frequency.
A consultation with Dr Deepthi Atmakuri at Clinica Derm, Hyderabad, helps determine the right peel type, strength, and number of sessions needed. Professional supervision ensures safe application and reduces the risk of irritation or skin damage.
Final Thoughts
Acid peeling treatment is a safe and effective way to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity when done under expert care. Whether you choose a glycolic acid peeling solution, lactic acid peeling solution, or salicylic acid peeling solution, the right peel can refresh your skin and restore its healthy glow.
With proper guidance and aftercare, acid peels offer visible results without harsh downtime, making them a trusted choice for long-term skin health.
