WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin’s surface, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The process stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. Chemical peels can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rough texture
- Melasma
- Scarring
TYPES OF CHEMICAL PEELS
There are three main types of chemical peels, each varying in depth and the specific skin concerns they address:
Superficial Peels: Superficial peels, also known as light peels, are the mildest form of chemical peels. They typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to target the top layer of the skin. These peels are best for mild skin issues and require little to no downtime.
Medium Peels: Medium peels reach deeper into the skin than superficial peels. They typically use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to treat a wider range of skin concerns, including fine lines, pigmentation issues, and more. Recovery time for medium peels is longer than for superficial peels.
Deep Peels: Deep peels, using phenol or high-concentration TCA, penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. These are suitable for addressing severe skin issues but require the most extended recovery time and should only be performed by experienced professionals.
Chemical Peels are available in our Debary, FL location.
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits, making them a popular choice for individuals looking to enhance the appearance and health of their skin:
Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels promote the growth of new skin cells, leading to smoother, more even skin.
Diminished Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The exfoliation process can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Reduced Pigmentation Issues: Chemical peels can fade dark spots, sun damage, and melasma.
Acne Control: For those dealing with acne and acne scars, chemical peels can help unclog pores and reduce the visibility of scars.
Boosted Collagen Production: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption: With the outer layer of skin removed, skincare products can penetrate more effectively, maximizing their benefits.
CHEMICAL PEEL AFTERCARE
Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results and minimizing complications. Here are some aftercare steps to follow:
Keep the Area Clean: Gently cleanse your skin and avoid using abrasive or harsh products.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal from the inside out.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to prevent excessive dryness.
Sun Protection: Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
Avoid Picking or Peeling: Let your skin naturally shed after the peel. Picking or peeling can lead to scarring and infection.
Follow Post-Peel Instructions: Your provider will give you specific post-peel instructions. Follow them meticulously for the best results.
