If you want an effective way to remove dead skin cells, as well as damaged outer layers of your skin, then you should look into getting chemical peels. This particular type of treatment reveals softer, younger, and toned skin layers. You may already know that this procedure has long been used by famous celebrities as an alternative to getting collagen fillers or surgeries. By getting a chemical peel, you will be able to dramatically improve your skin’s appearance and is popularly done on the face, hands, and neck.
How It Works
During the procedure, your skin will first be cleansed to prepare for the actual chemical peeling. A specially formulated and prepared chemical substance is then brushed onto your skin, which can be alpha-hydroxy acids, phenol, trichloracetic acid, or beta-hydroxy acids. A stinging sensation may be felt for about 10 minutes and this usually occurs when the solution processes. Afterwards, the chemical peel is washed off and then neutralized.
The Benefits
This treatment can help get rid of the following:
• Age spots
• Acne
• Dry skin/texture
• Fine lines/wrinkles
• Freckles
• Irregular pigmentation
• Scale-like skin
• Scars
• Sun damage
The Different Types
• Light - this procedure can be repeated once a week for about six weeks. This is often done in order to get the best results possible. You can also return once a month to have the treatment done especially if you want to maintain the look it has given you. The improvements are subtle and no recovery time is needed.
• Medium - this type of peel can be repeated every six to twelve months in order to maintain the way you look. Fresher and smoother skin will be noticed, but you will need around six weeks to recover. During this said time, your skin may appear reddish.
• Deep - those who get this type of chemical peel usually enjoy results up to ten years. This procedure is often necessary for individuals with severely damaged skin brought by blotchiness, scarring, wrinkling, and the sun. You will need to go through an 8-week pre-treatment process and two weeks up to three months of recovery time.
The Risks Involved
Depending on the specific type of chemical peel that you receive, the length of recovery time will vary. There are some risks involved with chemical peels. You may have a greater risk of developing either a temporary or permanent change in your skin if you are taking birth control pills, become pregnant, or if you have a history of skin discoloration. There are also those who are more prone to scarring and may go through episodes of cold sores. Generally speaking, this type of treatment is considered safe.
