What 3 Chemical Peels Can Improve Your Skin?
A chemical acid peel is a skin-exfoliating technique in which a chemical solution is used on the skin to take away the outer layers. The procedure is designed to give skin a smoother, younger appearance when it grows back
Whether you have acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles or other embarrassing skin conditions, a chemical peel might help.
What Is a Chemical Acid Peel?
Chemical peels involve a type of healthy acid that is applied to the facial skin. This acid works to eliminate blemishes and wrinkles. The acid peel also works to diminish skin damage from too much sunlight.
When the solution is applied to the face, the outer layer of the skin peels. Sometimes, more than one layer of the skin might peel. This process allows new skin to develop, which is how people get younger, softer skin.
What Should You Do Before You Get a Chemical Acid Peel?
Before getting a chemical peel, you should have an evaluation of your facial skin done by an experienced professional. No matter what type of chemical acid peel you choose, it is vital to have a skin expert assess your skin first.
Every person’s skin is different, so one reason to get a facial assessment is that each skin type needs a certain form of treatment. How well the peel works depends on the texture of the face and how much or how little damage there is.
What is VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a powerful but gentle medical-grade chemical peel that is used to treat skin with minimal damage. A VI Peel could help with things like:
- Mild to medium acne
- Minimal acne scarring
- Smaller wrinkles and fine lines
- Small age spots
- Small sunspots
- Rosacea
- Pore issues
- Oily skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
What is a Glycolic Acid Peel?
This is a kind of “super-charged” acid peel. This technique is used to treat all the same skin issues that the VI peel is used for. However, a glycolic peel works better for more intense issues like seborrhea, a common skin problem that causes a rash, making the skin red and itchy. Seborrhea also causes white, scaly-looking skin.Glycolic acid peels have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This kind of skin peel procedure targets the pigments in the skin by enhancing breakdown and quality, resulting in shedding of the skin.
What is a TCA Peel?
This technique is a lighter, more mild treatment used for skincare requiring less maintenance. Many people choose this kind of chemical peel if they need quick treatment done and do not want to worry about having their skin shed for a longer period of time. With this technique, you may not need to worry about covering up your face when you go outside afterward. Your skin may heal within the first week after the TCA peel is performed.Using one of these chemical acid peels could give your facial skin the younger, healthier look you want.
