Chemical peels are a popular skin treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the face. The solution is designed to remove outer layers of dead or damaged skin, leaving behind healthier and younger looking skin. Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne scars, age spots, wrinkles, sun damage, melasma, freckles and uneven skin tone.
When considering a chemical peel, it is important to have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with the treatment. It is also important to choose a doctor who is experienced in performing these treatments and knows how to customize each peel according to your individual needs. Chemical peels are available in various strengths and should be chosen based on the severity of your skin condition.
The benefits of chemical peels include: revitalizing and brightening dull, tired looking skin; improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles; reducing acne scars and even skin discoloration; fading age spots; controlling excess oil production in oily or combination skin types; stimulating collagen production; and improving the overall texture of your skin.
When having a chemical peel, you can expect some redness and peeling in the days following the treatment. During this time, it is important to stay out of direct sun exposure and to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from further sun damage. It is also important to use only gentle cleansers, moisturizers and other skincare products during the healing process.
Chemical peels are a safe and effective way to improve the overall look of your skin while helping to reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles and other skin imperfections. If done correctly, chemical peels can provide significant results in a short amount of time. However, it is important to keep in mind that each treatment plan is tailored specifically to you and your individual needs, so the results will vary from person to person. To ensure the best possible results, it is important to find an experienced doctor who can customize your chemical peel treatment according to your skin type and goals. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy the many benefits of chemical peels for years to come.
The skilled professionals at Defy Medical Spa perform a chemical peel by using a chemical solution to exfoliate the surface layers of your skin.The chemical solution creates a controlled wound that causes old, dry, dead skin cells to peel away. The result is fresher, younger-looking skin and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and other blemishes.
To start the treatment, your aesthetics specialist will first cleanse your face and then apply the chemical peel solution that was selected. Depending on the type of solution, the peel will either remain on your skin for a few minutes or for 4-6 hours. This will strictly depend on what chemical peel you use and the skin goals you are trying to accomplish. The solution is then later washed off in the comfort of your own home. You may experience a stinging sensation during the treatment which is eased with the use of cool air.After your treatment, your specialist will make sure you have everything you need to care for your skin. Once your skin has healed, you’ll enjoy softer, smoother, healthier skin that glows with youthful radiance.
