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. Many people can lose their self confidence once they start seeing the first signs of aging. When this becomes a major concern, a skin peel is a possible answer to this, and for some, it is the best option.
A good way to rejuvenate skin is the use of a chemical skin peel, to enable the skin to look younger. Chemical peels will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. 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. Chemical peels will result in skin that is more smooth and bright, and will have a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels also have a very positive effect on people suffering from acne; 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. A typical skin collagen enhancing cream that can be purchased will usually have only a slight effect, but a chemical peels can have a dramatic effect that is long lasting.
A peel does what it sounds like; new cells are encouraged to grow as the rough layers and dead skin on the surface on your face are removed. As newer skin grows to replace the top layers, lines and blemishes will become more difficult to see underneath the fresh skin.
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. 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. If you have a deep peel then it may actually inhibit the skin's pigmenting ability.
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. Sunscreen is also another recommendation that physicians will usually give a patient before having a skin peel.
