Chemical Skin Peels

A blend of exfoliating acids are used to penetrate the top layers of the skin. This helps to shed the skin of it’s dead skin cells, control oil/sebum, treat acne, treat pigmentation and improve the overall texture of the skin.

The peel penetrates the skin and breaks down the bonds that hold the dead skin cells together.

The new layer of skin that is revealed is brighter, smoother, and more even in tone. It also stimulates more collagen production, which helps to keep the skin looking young and healthy.

Chemical and skin peels are a great way to improve the appearance of your skin. They can help to:

-Reduce wrinkles and fine lines; hence slow down skin aging

-Reduce blemishes and acne scars

-Even out skin tone

-Reduce pigmentation

-Provide anti-aging benefits

The number of chemical and skin peels you have will depend on the results you want to achieve. Most people find that a series of six to eight peels provides the best results.

However, your skin care specialist may recommend several sessions based on your individual needs.

The chemical peel procedure is simple and takes only a few minutes. The peel is applied to the skin and left to work for a specific time.

Once it has done its job, the peel is removed with a gentle cleanser. The new layer of skin that is revealed is brighter, smoother, and more even in tone.

The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and most people feel only a slight tingling or burning sensation. However, let your skincare specialist know if you experience any pain or discomfort.

Chemical and skin peels are safe procedures, but there may be side effects.

These include:

• Redness- this happens because the peel causes the blood vessels in the skin to expand. It usually lasts for a few hours after the peel and can be treated with cold compresses.
• Stinging or burning- the expansion of the blood vessels also causes this and usually goes away within a few minutes.
• Prickling sensation- some people experience a prickling sensation after a peel. It is caused by removing the dead skin cells and is nothing to worry about.
• Peeling- after a peel, you may experience some visible peeling of the skin. It is normal and should not cause any concerns.
• Itching- some people experience itching after a peel. Again, this is normal and should not cause any problems.

These side effects usually subside within a few days. However, talk to your skincare specialist if they persist or are particularly bothersome.

After a chemical peel, caring for your skin is essential to ensure the best results. A chemical skin peel session will not be effective if you do not follow the correct aftercare instructions.

After having chemical skin peels, you should practice:

• Sunscreen- sun exposure can cause new, healthy skin. Therefore, it is essential to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day.
• Avoiding strenuous activity can cause the new skin to become irritated. It is best to avoid this until the skin has had a chance to heal.
• Avoiding contact with irritants- some people find their skin is more sensitive after a peel. It is essential to avoid contact with harsh chemicals, abrasive soaps, and other irritants.
• Following the instructions of your skincare specialist- it is essential to follow the instructions of your skincare specialist to ensure that your skin heals properly.

Be sure to follow these instructions for the best results from your chemical peel. Failing to do aftercare will result in a loss of the benefits of the peel and may cause skin irritation.
