Chemical peel is a dermis therapy procedure in which a chemical solution (mainly consisting of acids) is applied to the skin surface which results in the removal of the top layer of the epidermis. This layer mostly comprises dead skin cells.

Before we dive into the details of who is and is not a good candidate for chemical peeling, it is essential that we truly understand what chemical peeling is. The chemical peel Surrey procedure can further branch into three types depending upon the skin type and issues of the dermis:
- Light White Rock chemical peel
- Medium chemical peel
- Deep chemical peel
The three types indicate how deep the process will affect the dermis and are suggested after a careful examination of your skin and skin concerns by our certified dermatologists.
However, there are a few general indications to see who is a good candidate for chemical peeling. The indication for Surrey chemical peel procedures is controlled by the patient’s ability to tolerate the after-effects and their determination to overcome the specific skin aliment troubling them. The type of therapy will always vary in consideration of the severity of the skin conditions as well as the realistic requests of the patients. So in general, people who are fair-skinned and light-haired are considered more suitable for the chemical peel procedures. People who have a darker complexion will also achieve good results depending on the skin issues faced by the patient. However, the probability of having an uneven skin tone after the procedures increases.
This is because the population with dark skin tones (mostly consisting of Africans, Asians, Latinos, etc.) has a higher melanin (natural skin pigment) production. Chemical procedures like medium and deep chemical peel penetrate deeper into the dermis and may affect melanin synthesis. This alteration of melanin may cause uneven distribution over the skin which may give rise to dark spots or patches of discolored skin.
In addition, deep penetration of chemical peel Surrey may destroy specialized cells which produce melanin, leaving some areas of the skin devoid of color. All these reasons suggest scheduling a consultation with an experienced dermatologist before going for a chemical peel.
