Do you need a chemical peel treatment? Chemical peels are used for a number of different reasons. They can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, improve the texture of the skin, rejuvenate the skin and more. For those who have never had a chemical peel and want to know more about them and how they can help your skin, Skin And Body Refinery would like to put the spotlight on chemical peels and how they can help your skin.
Reasons for Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a highly used facial treatment that aids the skin in many ways. For each person the motive for a chemical peel is different. Some of the most common reasons for a chemical peel is to:
• Improve the texture or surface of the skin.
• Enhance the cell turnover rate of the skin.
• Encourage the production of collagen in the skin.
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines on the face.
• Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and help the skin tones look more even.
• Clean and unclog pores on the face which helps battle acne.
• Smooth and hydrate the surface of the skin.
• Reduce the appearance of minor scarring.
Chemical peels are not used to remove deep wrinkles or other more serious facial corrections. There are many other cosmetic treatments and surgical options for these. Chemical peels are great way to help maintain healthier skin and improve minor skin problems.
Best Candidates for Chemical Peels
So who is a candidate for a chemical peel? Essentially anyone can get a chemical peel. However, there may be a few safety concerns for those who may be pregnant or are nursing. Chemical peels should also be avoided for those on certain types of medication such as Accutane as it can cause irritation to the skin. Before scheduling a chemical peel, contact your local medical spa specialist and tell them about your current medication and ask if it is safe for you to have a chemical peel.
Chemical Peel Treatment
Chemical peels can be a bit intense for some. The first step involves cleaning the face with a deep cleaner. For some the cleaner can sting a bit. However, it is essential to remove any grease or oils on the skin. The next step involves applying the chemical peeler. This solution is applied to the skin in layers. The first layer stings or burns the skin the worst. Fans are used to help make the skin feel more comfortable. The chemical peeler will be applied more heavily in the areas of the skin that need more aid such as acne scarring. After the chemical peel has been applied, the medical spa specialist will send you home with a recovery kit. Most kits will include cleanser wipes, post peel towelettes, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. During recovery make sure to stay out of the sun and keep the skin moisturized. For best results you may need to have more than just one chemical peel treatment. Chemical peel treatments are no less than six weeks apart.
