chemical peels

What is chemical peel?

This technique is used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin. A chemical peel is solution applied to the face and body to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells.

How does it work?

AHAs promote exfoliation of the upper most layer of the skin allowing healthier cells to the top and improving the texture and feel of the skin.

Salicylic Acid promotes exfoliation, unclogs blocked pores by breaking down oils, is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory so is particularly appropriate for acne prone skin. Also suitable for back and chest.

TCA, depending on the concentration, penetrates through the top five layers of the epidermis to the upper most layer of the dermis. Unlike superficial peels, you will find your skin becomes dry and tight, it may darken before peeling. The peeling usually begins on day 3 and continues for 2 or 3 days. Suitable for other areas of the body and for darker skin types.

Used to treat

· Dull, tired looking skin

· Pigmentation

· Oily or dry skin conditions

· Fine lines and wrinkles

· Acne prone skin

· Open pores

· Scarring, stretch marks

Does it hurt?

You may experience a little tingling, tightness, or a change in temperature. Your esthetician will continuously ask questions to make sure no sensation is too extreme. While you shouldn't feel pain during or after the procedure, you may experience slightly increased sensitivity after.

After treatment

Superficial peels - you may be pink, this will settle within hours. Your skin may become a little dry and tight, but you may not be aware of any obvious peeling.

Medium depth peels - you may be pink, your skin will feel tight and dry, it may darken in patches prior to peeling, much like a sunburn peel. The peeling usually begins on day 3 or 4 and may last for 3 or 4 days.

Caution

It is very important not to pick off peeling skin; peeling is minimal and easily controlled with moisturizer. Premature peeling of the skin will result in dry, cracked, raw skin that may develop into hyperpigmentation.
