Four Ways Chemical Peels Are Your New BFF

Chemical peels are an excellent treatment for various skin conditions, including wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

So, could they be the answer if you want lighter, smoother, younger-looking skin? Let’s find out.

More About Chemical Peels

A chemical peel involves administering a chemical solution to the skin, causing the upper layer of skin to peel away and to reveal younger-looking skin.

This new layer of skin is typically softer, smoother, and more radiant.

Types of Chemical Peels

Different chemical peels deliver different outcomes, and your goals and concerns will help your provider determine the right one for you.

A light or lunchtime chemical peel is often performed in a series of treatments. If you have fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin pigmentation, or dry, rough, sun-damaged skin, this option may be best for promoting a smoother, more even skin tone.

This peel requires little to no downtime.

A medium chemical peel provides your skin with a smooth, youthful appearance and is best if you have stubborn skin discoloration, fine lines, acne scars, or moderate wrinkles. However, this peel can take a week or more to heal and may require a bit of downtime.

The most dramatic results can be achieved with a deep chemical peel. This type of peel allows chemicals to penetrate into your skin’s lower middle layer. However, a deep peel requires more recovery time and this option is best if you have deeper lines and wrinkles, severe sun damage, profound acne scars, blotchy skin, and actinic keratosis.

 

Chemical peels can help with the following skin concerns, in addition to improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles:

1. Improve the tone and texture of your skin. A chemical peel treatment not only addresses your present skin issues but also promotes the formation of new, healthy skin. It enhances your skin’s entire tone and texture, providing you with a healthy, bright, and attractive glow.

2. Getting rid of dark spots. A medium chemical peel can also help improve the appearance of age spots, blemishes, and other blemishes. A light chemical peel primarily targets the epidermis, but a medium chemical peel penetrates even deeper to reveal a smoother, more even complexion.

3. Improving the appearance of acne scars. Acne scars can be greatly improved with the right chemical peel.

Exfoliating the outer layer doesn’t just just remove dead skin cells, but also stimulates your skin’s ability to produce collagen, a structural protein that helps fill out acne scars. A good peel can also prevent future breakouts by clearing out the pores.

4. Reducing the effects of sun damage. Chemical peels improve the appearance of sun damage by removing the damaged and dull upper layer of the skin, revealing a smoother and softer new skin layer.

If you’re looking for a remedy to a variety of skin problems, chemical peels are a good option. Selecting the right peel with components tailored to your skin’s needs can provide the best results.
