How Chemical Peels Enhance 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. When we start to notice these imperfections, for a lot of us, it begins to affect our self esteem and confidence. If you too are worried about your skin condition and are looking for a reliable way to restore your skin then a skin peel could be your solution.

A remedy that has a significant effect in order to revive a more youthful skin appearance is a chemical skin peel. The prominence of wrinkles and lines on the face are less pronounced after a chemical peel. The outermost part of your skin sometimes has an accumulation of dead skin cells, and a skin peel will remove these, reducing wrinkles and making it appear brighter.

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. For those who have had minor or major issues with acne, a chemical peel; inflammation will be reduced, and acne will be less prominent.

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. 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.

Calling it a "peel" says it all; it actually removes layers of skin to expose the underlying cells and causes new cells to grow. 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. Typically, the patient will return for more superficial chemical peel treatments every second week or once a week, for a total of about 6 times for optimal results. Risks are decreased with repeated more superficial peels. For a few days after a skin peel, the side effects are still noticeable. In certain cases, skin can take on a slightly different colour after the process, and hyperpigmentation has been reported as well. Pigmenting capability of the skin can be reduced when deep skin peels are chosen, at times.

To make the skin heal more speedily following the procedure, a patient should clean the skin often and moisturize, this will promote healing and stop infections or rashes. Sunscreen is also another recommendation that physicians will usually give a patient before having a skin peel.
