Medical Grade Chemical Peels
Medical-grade peels work to resurface the facial skin, revealing brighter, fresher skin beneath. These medical-grade chemical peels vary in depth and in their ingredients, each one appropriate for certain skin types and conditions. A chemical peel, performed by a professional, is an important part of a comprehensive skincare regimen.
Types of Chemical Peels
The ingredients in a chemical peel can include various acids and other ingredients, at different strengths:
Beta Hydroxy Acids
These acids are often used to improve the condition of oily facial skin with breakouts. This substance penetrates the upper layer of skin, exfoliating it while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids
These acids are derived from fruit and sugar cane, are safe and non-toxic, and are one of the most effective anti-aging facial ingredients. You may be advised to have a chemical peel with AHA for smoother, brighter facial skin.
Glycolic Acids
These peels are more superficial, and can be performed more frequently to thoroughly detoxify, clean, and refresh facial skin quality. Glycolic acid is easily absorbed into the skin, working to stimulate collagen production.
Trichloroacetic Acid
For a more extreme anti-aging effect, this chemical peel ingredient removes the upper layer of facial skin. Younger, brighter, healthier skin is then revealed. This ingredient can be used in various concentrations as an anti-aging treatment.
Lighten Pigmentation and Sunspots
Although modern lasers do wonders for sun damage and darkened pigments in the skin, the right facial can produce stunning results. It is not uncommon for skin to develop darker areas and sunspots, particularly for people who have spent many hours in the sun. Even acne and hormone imbalances can be a cause of hyperpigmentation. As a non-invasive, effective way to care for and maintain facial skin quality, the right chemical peel can do wonders, including improving the appearance of:
- Blemishes
- Aging Skin
- Oily Skin
- Aging skin
- Dark spots and Sun spots
- Sun Damage
- Large pores
- Breakouts
