0 Beauty Refreshment Using a Chemical Peel

By Elen Hanszen


We all want smooth, unblemished skin and this feeling increases as we grow old and start seeing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. When we start to notice these imperfections, for a lot of us, it begins to affect our self esteem and confidence. When this becomes a major concern, a skin peel is a possible answer to this, and for some, it is the best option.

Chemical skin peels are a simple and effective way to restore your skin's natural beauty. The prominence of wrinkles and lines on the face are less pronounced after a chemical peel. Skin peels can remove the dead cells on your skins top layer which can appear as rough skin to reveal more radiant skin which is free from very fine lines.

Freckles, age spots, and liver spots are reduced dramatically after a skin peel, this is a time tested process. Your skin will become smooth and supple with the use of chemical peels giving you a younger look. Chemical peels also have a very positive effect on people suffering from acne; fewer pimples is the expected result, and less inflammation.

Chemical peels are a one day process, with options for touch ups, but a product for skin like a cream or lotion will have to be used for a long period of time, with multiple daily usage required. These are not seriously invasive surgical procedures, like other options in the plastic surgery choices available. Chemical peels are much more than subtle adjustments to skin moisture levels or promises to strengthen collagen like some over the counter creams offer.

A peel does what it sounds like; the outermost layers of facial skin are peeled away, promoting new skin growth, and showing the fresher, newer looking skin on top. New, blemish and wrinkle-free skin will cover up and reduce the look of wrinkles and other kinds of blemishes.

A superficial chemical peel is not painful and therefore no pain relief is needed before, during or after the procedure. For many, six superficial chemical peels are optimal, every week or 2, until the desired effect is achieved. Risks are decreased with repeated more superficial peels. Superficial chemical peel side effects last for several days after procedure. Although rare, hyperpigmentation has been known to be a side effect, and skin in some cases will appear to have a colour change. The capacity for skin to produce pigment is sometimes affected after a deeper skin peel.

Maintenance is required for all kinds of skin peels afterwards, by using moisturizer, and frequent cleaning that will make skin heal faster and more smoothly, and prevent problems such as infection. Sunscreen is also another recommendation that physicians will usually give a patient before having a skin peel.
