What is A Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layer of skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin cells and can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels come in different strengths and types, ranging from superficial peels for mild skin issues to deep peels for more significant skin concerns. The choice of peel depends on your type and the specific skin issues being addressed.
Five reasons our Aestheticians love Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate to reveal smoother, brighter skin with a youthful glow, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
Minimize pores, smooth rough patches, and address hyperpigmentation for a more even and refined complexion.
Peels can help clear acne breakouts, reduce inflammation, and diminish the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes.
By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels allow skincare products to penetrate deeper for increased effectiveness.
The visible improvements in your skin's appearance can lead to a significant boost in self-confidence and overall well-being.
How do chemical peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin’s surface, which causes controlled damage to the top layers of skin. This controlled damage prompts the skin to naturally regenerate and heal, resulting in a range of cosmetic benefits. Here’s how chemical peels work:
Preparation: Before the peel, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils, makeup, or debris. A gentle prepping solution may be applied to enhance the effectiveness of the peel.
Application: The chemical peel solution is carefully applied to the skin. The type and strength of the solution used depend on the specific concerns being addressed and the individual’s skin type.
Penetration: The chemical solution penetrates the top layers of the skin, causing the outermost layer to peel away over the following days. This exfoliation process helps remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Stimulation: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Collagen is a protein that helps keep the skin firm and youthful. By increasing collagen production, chemical peels can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Recovery: After the peel, the skin may appear red, flaky, and slightly swollen. This is part of the healing process as the skin regenerates. The recovery time varies depending on the type and strength of the peel, with milder peels requiring less downtime and more intense peels requiring more extended recovery periods.
Results: Over the next few days to weeks, the old, damaged skin is replaced by newer, healthier skin. This can lead to improvements in various skin concerns, such as reduced pigmentation, smoother texture, and a more youthful appearance.
The science behind Sculptra®
Chemical peels work by applying chemical solutions to the skin’s surface, causing controlled skin injury.
This process triggers the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, resulting in various benefits. Chemical peels exfoliate the skin by removing dead cells, stimulate collagen production for firmer skin, reduce pigmentation and sun damage, control acne and oil production, tighten the skin in some cases, and promote cell regeneration for a refreshed appearance.
They can also improve skin texture, minimize large pores, and increase skin hydration. Different types of chemical peels use various ingredients, each with specific mechanisms of action, making them versatile for addressing various skin concerns.
