Chemical Peels

果酸換膚

Public Education

Description 描述:
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layers. This process stimulates the growth of new skin cells, resulting in smoother, more evenly toned skin. Chemical peels can be classified into three main types based on their depth of penetration:

Superficial peels: These affect only the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis).
Medium peels: These reach the upper part of the middle layer of skin (dermis).
Deep peels: These penetrate the middle to lower layer of the dermis.

果酸換膚是一種美容程序，通過在皮膚上塗抹果酸溶液來去除表層皮膚。這個過程刺激新皮膚細胞的生長，使皮膚更光滑、更均勻。果酸換膚可根據其滲透深度分為三種主要類型：

表層換膚：只影響最外層皮膤（表皮）。
中層換膚：達到中層皮膚（真皮）的上部。
深層換膚：滲透到真皮的中層到下層。

Expected Outcomes 預期結果:
Results vary depending on the type and strength of the peel. Superficial peels offer subtle improvements with minimal downtime, while deeper peels provide more dramatic results but require longer recovery periods.

Immediately after the peel, the skin may appear red and feel tight. Over the next few days to weeks (depending on peel depth), the skin will peel or flake off, revealing newer, smoother skin underneath. Full results may not be apparent for several weeks as the skin continues to improve.

結果因換膚類型和強度而異。表層換膚提供微妙的改善，恢復期最短，而深層換膚提供更顯著的效果，但需要更長的恢復期。

換膚後立即，皮膚可能會發紅並感到緊繃。在接下來的幾天到幾週內（取決於換膚深度），皮膚會脫皮或剝落，露出下面更新、更光滑的皮膚。由於皮膚持續改善，完整效果可能需要幾週才能顯現。
