Benefits of Getting a Chemical Peel

Have you ever looked at a famous actor or actress and wondered how in the world they are able to maintain their youthful appearance after so many years? For some of them, the ability to maintain a youthful appearance is thanks in part to their genetic makeup. They have good genes, and so they stay looking younger longer. But genetics do not account for all of the seemingly immortal-looking actors and actresses who grace your television or movie screen. Many of them owe their youthful appearance to a regular routine of getting chemical peel treatments.

Of course, actors and actresses are not the only individuals who take advantage of this treatment. The Association of Plastic Surgeons estimates that approximately 11 million people get a chemical peel every single year.

Interestingly, that number is equally divided between men and women. Age is not a factor in determining whether or not the treatment will work. Anyone who wants to regain their youthful appearance, have a healthy glow to their skin, and remove some minor facial imperfections can benefit from a chemical peel.

One of the reasons why this procedure is so popular is because it has the ability to address a wide range of problems. For example, if a person has acne, chemical peels can help them clear it up by cleaning out their pores and leaving them with smoother, clearer skin. Or if a person has premature wrinkles or a complexion that lacks luster, a chemical peel can help.

Chemical peels range from very mild to more extreme. A mild treatment is designed to exfoliate the external layers of the skin. It is not designed to address deeper problems, but instead to give relatively healthy skin an even more vibrant appearance. Individuals who schedule mild chemical peels will even start to notice that problems like hyperpigmentation begin to go away.

Some people are wary of getting a chemical peel because the name itself sounds invasive. The idea of peeling off your skin sounds like the theme of a bad horror movie to some people. The truth is your skin is not actually peeled off. What happens is a special solution is put on the external layers of your skin. This dissolves the external layers. This leads to a healing process where the fresher skin that is underneath the external layers emerges. During this process, the older skin that was full of pigmentation problems, acne, and fine lines begins to come off.

The strength of the peel will depend both on the chemicals that are used and on how long the solution is applied, as well as your unique skin condition. Our skilled professionals will work with you to tailor it to your skin type.

There are so many benefits that come from getting a chemical peel. Some of the ones that we’ve already discussed include improving fine lines, minimizing wrinkles, and making your skin look and feel smoother. Other benefits include a boost in your confidence, the fast results of the procedure, a reduction in the appearance of sun damage, and the fact that when compared to more invasive procedures, a chemical peel is relatively inexpensive.
