- How does a chemical peel work?
- A chemical peel involves the use of a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Chemical peels increase cellular turnover which in turn refines the epidermis and treats environmentally damaged, acne prone, sensitive, dry and oily conditions.
- What are the different kinds of chemical peel?
- AHA's
AHA's treat the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis and mildly stimulate collagen formation in the uppermost part of the dermis. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acids are commonly used to help smooth dry and rough skin, improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, and even out skin tone. AHAs are often referred to as fruit acids derived from sugar cane, citrus fruits and grapes. The recovery is short, and usually consists of some flaking and redness for several days. A series of treatments is generally required to obtain the best results. Results of an AHA peel are temporary. Periodic treatments are recommended to maintain results. - BHA’s
- How many treatments do I need?
- During your initial consultation, we will discuss your cosmetic goals. To this end, a skin care regimen will be designed to help you improve and maintain healthier looking skin at home. Typically, a series of five or six chemical peels spaced three to four weeks apart is adequate to achieve most cosmetic goals.
