Chemical Peels Bring Back your Beauty

By Elen Hanszen


As we age, all of us seem to long for our more youthful clear skin, and are upset about age spots, and the lines and wrinkles that inevitably form. As the signs of aging become more noticeable, a person can start to have less confidence in their appearance. A skin peel is a good solution for those who are having issues that are a result of their aging appearance.

A good way to rejuvenate skin is the use of a chemical skin peel, to enable the skin to look younger. The prominence of wrinkles and lines on the face are less pronounced after a chemical peel. Fresher skin will be revealed underneath the peel, getting rid of dead cells and making skin look fresher and cleaner and of course, it will help make wrinkles less significant.

If you have blemishes on your skin such as large freckles, age spots or liver spots, the use of a reliable and effective skin peel will help to reduce the appearance of these spots. Your skin will become smooth and supple with the use of chemical peels giving you a younger look. For those who have had minor or major issues with acne, a chemical peel; they can reduce the inflammation and pimples in acne sufferers.

One of the advantages of the chemical peel over beauty products is that it can be done in one sitting or in a few sessions instead of waiting for results after weeks or months product applications. Many plastic surgery solutions are permanent and more invasive for the patient, and a peel is nowhere close to that level. 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; it actually removes layers of skin to expose the underlying cells and causes new cells to grow. Because the re-grown skin is new it has a fresh, bright, tight appearance and fewer blemishes or wrinkles.

A superficial chemical peel is not painful and therefore no pain relief is needed before, during or after the procedure. It is usually recommended that a course of six peels is given one or two weeks apart, to get the best results from superficial chemical peels. The more superficial the peel, the less risk is attached to it. The side effects of a superficial peel often last only a few days. 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.

In the week prior to a skin peel of any depth it's usually recommended that patients clean the skin regularly to reduce chance of infection and the use of moisturizer is recommended to promote even results and fast healing. Daily sunscreen usage is something that a doctor will typically suggest in many cases, leading up to the peel.
