Sometimes your skin just doesn’t look the way you want it to despite how well you take care of it every day. Sun damage, dehydration and the natural effects of aging are enough to make your complexion dull or rough. Chemical peels have many benefits, and it’s definitely a non-invasive way to get the complexion you’ve always wanted.
What is a Chemical Peel?
There are a few different types of chemical peels, and there are also various depths to a peel. Our highly qualified specialist is the best person to decide how deep your chemical peel should be, and it always depends on the current state of your skin and what your goals for your complexion are.
During a peel, the solution is applied to your face where it basically dissolves the outermost layers of skin to reveal fresh, undamaged skin that’s hiding beneath the surface. It’s basically like a reset button for your face. “Dissolve” sounds a bit daunting, but it just means your skin dries up, flakes and peels away. The skin that’s revealed is a little sensitive, but it’s free from various imperfections.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
There are many benefits to getting a peel! Peels improve the texture of your skin because it’s exfoliating it and increasing the cell turnover for ones that are still young, healthy and free from damage. They’re fast, too. You can get a peel done on your lunch break and return back to your regular activities.
Acne and acne scarring can also be visibly reduced with a mild peel. Not only is it helping clear out clogged pores, but the peel also removes surface scarring as it peels away that layer of skin. Uneven coloring can also be diminished.
If aging is a concern, peels are fantastic and quick ways to remove fine lines and wrinkles. Deep wrinkles won’t be affected by a peel, but those delicate lines are visibly diminished after a few peels. The procedure also encourages collagen growth. Collagen production naturally decreases as you age, and when your skin loses the elasticity that’s provided by collagen, wrinkles and lines form and the skin can become saggy.
Chemical peels are far easier than getting an expensive and invasive surgery done and there is only minimal, if any, discomfort involved.
