Clear skin and a glowing complexion are two of the top priorities when it comes to beauty. Sun damage and change is season can lead to dull skin and manual exfoliants sometimes won’t do the trick. Chemical Peels are the next best step for treatment with quicker results and less downtime. So how do you know where to start and which peel is right for you? Do you invest in professional chemical peels or is an at-home treatment sufficient? An experienced skin expert can lead you in the right direction.
Chemical peels promote smooth skin, reduce fine lines and minimize pore size by breaking down the ‘glue’ between the superficial skin cells. Regular use of peels can induce collagen production long-term in the dermis.” When you hear of “At-home peels” be aware that they typically penetrate only the epidermis and are most commonly composed of lactic or glycolic acid. They are much more mild than a professional chemical peel. In-office peels typically combine ingredients, including salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid and retinols to penetrate into the upper dermis where collagen production occurs.
Glycolic peels are helpful for sun-damaged skin to even out skin tone and pigmentation. They also give the skin a nice, radiant glow. Salicylic acid and retinol peels are better for people with oily and/or acne-prone skin. These loosen blackheads, reduce oil and even out discoloration from old breakouts.”
