What Are The Types of Chemical Peels?
Chemical Peels involves the application of a safe chemical solution, which targets the deeper layers of the skin. This effective treatment aids in reducing priorities such as acne, pigmentation, appearance of fine lines, dryness and lacklustre skin by performing 3 main functions
- A deep exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and decongest pores
- Treats specific priorities such removing toxins, oil, acne causing bacteria and imperfections
- Stimulates collagen production
A step up from most chemical exfoliants which often contain a single active ingredient, Chemical Peels have been specifically formulated with a tailored combination of acids to effectively target priorities. Best of all, the results are almost immediate!
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Firstly, the face is cleansed to remove any initial traces of makeup residue, skin products and debris on the face.
Then, a Pre-Peel is applied prior to the peel to effectively lower the skin’s pH level as well as removing all traces of oil, allowing for the even penetration of the skin peeling agent.
Mild Chemical Peels
A major component of this chemical peel is alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) which include lactic and glycolic acids to effectively generate younger replenished skin. The prevention of premature aging skin can be achieved with this chemical peel treatment, popular for those between the ages of 24-35. Sun damaged skin, uneven skin-tone and texture, fine lines and acne are some of many concerns that can be treated with mild AHA chemical peels. As skin is photosensitive after treatment, it is important that a broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen is applied frequently. Some side effects of the treatment include flaking, redness, dryness, itching and irritation. These will resolve when several chemical peel treatments are undergone and skin is accustomed to the active ingredients.
