A chemical peel is a solution that is applied over the skin or area of concern. These chemical solutions may vary based on the type of peel you choose to use. Chemical peels help to regenerate new skin as they exfoliate and eventually peel off external layers of the skin. Chemical peels can range from superficial to deep peels penetrating multiple levels beneath the skin's surface.
Chemical peels use specially formulated solutions to exfoliate damaged outer skin layers, revealing smoother, healthier skin beneath — without surgery or long downtime.
Controlled Exfoliation:
Removes dead and damaged skin cells for a refreshed surface.
Customized Depth Levels:
Tailored peel intensity based on skin type and concern.
Stimulates Regeneration:
Boosts collagen and cell renewal for improved tone.
Refines Skin Texture:
Smooths scars, discoloration, and fine lines evenly.
Minimal Downtime:
Quick recovery with gradual, radiant skin improvement.

Chemical peels act through controlled chemical wounding stimulating epidermal regeneration. By initiating a mild inflammatory response and promoting fibroblast activation, peels enhance collagen remodeling and extracellular matrix renewal. This scientific mechanism results in smoother texture, reduced discoloration, and visibly refined scar appearance.
Each peel solution (AHA, BHA, TCA, or phenol) penetrates a specific depth to dissolve intercellular bonds and remove photo-damaged layers precisely. Depth control ensures targeted resurfacing while minimizing irritation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The chemical stimulus activates epidermal turnover and dermal fibroblasts, boosting type I and III collagen synthesis. This process enhances skin firmness, refines pores, and gradually smooths acne and post-inflammatory scars.
With decades of dermatologic research, chemical peels remain a validated resurfacing technique. When performed under medical supervision, they deliver reproducible results, minimal downtime, and excellent safety across multiple skin types.
Chemical peels promote gradual resurfacing and cellular renewal without altering your natural appearance. Most patients experience smoother, clearer skin within weeks, with continued improvement as collagen remodeling and regeneration progress over time.
During your chemical peel session at Canada Scar Clinic, a skincare specialist will carefully assess your skin type and select the appropriate peel depth and formulation. The solution is applied evenly to the targeted area, allowing controlled exfoliation and renewal of damaged skin layers.
Patients may feel mild tingling or warmth during the procedure, which typically lasts 20–40 minutes depending on the peel type. After treatment, slight redness or flaking can occur as the skin regenerates naturally over the following days.
Chemical peels are suitable for individuals experiencing:
Post-acne scarring and discoloration
Sun-damaged or uneven skin tone
Rough or dull skin texture
Fine lines and early aging signs
If you’re seeking smoother, brighter skin or improvement in superficial scars, our specialists will determine the ideal peel type for your skin’s unique needs.
