Benefits Of Chemical Peels
If you want one of the least invasive treatments that provides an entire host of benefits like improving the look of your pores and skin, then you have found your answer: chemical peels.
Chemical peels help diminish pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles on the skin by refining the upper layers of the epidermis. Chemical peels are often referred to as the “lunchtime peel” because a single treatment can be completed in 20 minutes and people can return to work immediately after the treatment. Chemical peels are a great way to maintain and protect your skin from the symptoms of solar damage such as melisma and hyperpigmentation.
The Ingredients Of Chemical Peels Are Not As Harmful
How Does A Chemical Peel Work?
Chemical peels work by causing a controlled superficial wound to the upper layers of the skin with an acid based solution. The damage causes the body to naturally regenerate and heal the skin, improving the appearance as it resurfaces. The chemical solution during the application of chemical peels determines how deep the type of chemical will be absorbed by the skin. Chemical peels reverse the signs of chronic sun damage on exposed skin by gently exfoliating and removing the surface dead skin cells and damaged skin cells. People should be aware that ̶̶̶̶ as the name suggests ̶̶̶̶ most chemical peels induce the “peeling” of the skin. Therefore, time off for recovery is required, and direct sun exposure is to be avoided following treatments. A substance that has been chemically changed is classified as a chemical. The ingredients of chemical peels are not as harmful as they may sound to some people.
Common Ingredients Used In Chemical Peels Include:
- Retinoids (tretinon with propylene glycol solution)
- Beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic acid)
- Alpha-hydroxy acids (lactic acid and glycolic acid)
- Phenol (carbolic acid)
- Trichloracetic
Achieve Balanced Complexion
Chemical peels do not provide dramatic, immediate changes, but rather progressive improvements in the skin can be achieved such as minimized pores, less wrinkles, and a balanced complexion with minimal discoloration. Chemical peels are recommended every 3 to 4 weeks to regularly maintain and fight the signs of ageing in your face.
