A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves your dermatologist applying a specific chemical solution to your skin to improve your appearance. The chemical causes exfoliation and eventually peels off the skin. Chemical peels eliminate the topmost layer of your skin, which contains dead skin and cells, giving way to new skin, which is smoother and less damaged. The treatment can address facial wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. Chemical peels range from mild to deep, so your Heights Aesthetic Laser Center specialist uses the one that suits your skin type and treatment concerns. There are many benefits of chemical peels, including:
Chemical peels soften fine lines
Chemical peels range from mild to deep, so your dermatologist will help you choose the peel suitable for your lines. Deep peels are the best for your condition if you have deep scars and wrinkles. A single deep peel usually gives optimal results. If you have moderate lines, a medium chemical peel will be effective. Chemical peels minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles near your forehead, eyes, and mouth.
They reduce acne marks
Chemical peels can help ease acne breakouts and reduce scarring from skin blemishes. The treatment can also unclog your pores and eliminate blackheads from your skin surface. Chemical peels with salicylic and lactic acid are the best for acne marks. Salicylic acid lingers in your skin pores, keeping the pores clear over a long period. Chemical peels deposit specific ingredients in your skin that help your post-pimple marks fade away.
They boost your skincare products
Chemical peels remove the dull surface of your skin and its cells, allowing new skin to move to the surface and multiply. They also stimulate collagen production, which improves your skin’s elasticity. After a chemical peel treatment, you will note your skin care products will perform better because you no longer have dead cells on your skin surface. The products can easily penetrate your skin, giving excellent results.
They improve your skin tone and texture
During the chemical peel treatment, your dermatologist first cleans your skin and then applies a chemical solution to exfoliate your skin. Most peels have a gel-like consistency. The applied layer may cause a mild burning sensation lasting about ten minutes. Your technician will remove the layer after some minutes allowing new skin cells to replace the old skin surface and cells. By eliminating the old skin, your skin tone and texture improve, giving you a younger look.
The treatment is customizable
Chemical peels are popular because they can be used on all skin types and involve minimal risks. There are many chemical peels, so you can choose the one that fits your skin type and color. Your dermatologist can mix different acids to address your specific concern. Ensure your provider is trained and qualified to achieve your desired goals with no or minimal risks.
