What are the benefits of getting chemical peels?
Chemical Peels improve the appearance and texture of the skin by applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers. This process encourages the shedding of dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. These treatments offer several benefits for improving skin health and appearance:
- Treatment of Hyperpigmentation (Sun Damage, Melasma, Acne Scars)
- Acne Control
- Reduce Pore Size
- Improve Skin Texture
- Stimulate Collagen Production
What is the downtime after getting a chemical peel?
Depending on the depth and intensity of the peel, downtime can vary. Some chemical peels have little to no downtime, allowing you to resume activities almost immediately, while others may require a recovery period of a couple of weeks.
How do I know which chemical peel to pick?
After discussing your skin concerns with a provider, they will select a chemical peel tailored to your skin type, problems, and goals. They can customize the strength and type of peel solution used to achieve optimal results while minimizing the risk of adverse effects.
What should you do after a chemical peel procedure?
After a chemical peel, it’s crucial to steer clear of direct sun exposure for at least two weeks and consistently use SPF of at least 30 (preferably products containing Zinc Oxide). During the post-peel phase, avoid using vitamin A products and other chemical exfoliants for 3-7 days following the procedure. If you encounter flakiness or dryness, refrain from picking at the dead skin, as this can lead to hyperpigmentation.
