Chemical peel is one of the most attractive cosmetic procedures carried out in medical offices or medical spas.
The idea started in the old days when people were putting sour milk, ripe fruit or wine over on the skin in order to improve texture and give the skin more youthful look and add vitality. These were old fashion weak acid solutions, replaced nowadays by more titrated acids and chemical solutions ranging from weak to medium, and to strong acids or peels.
The idea is to remove the top layer of the skin where the impurities are lying and replace it with a younger, newer skin. Chemical peels are helpful for acne, wrinkles, as well as for pigmentation changes, shallow scars and a variety of other skin problems.
The skin peeling is rather light to moderate, yet visible. Peeling starts in 2-3 days, usually patients peel on the day 3 and 4 which looks like a peeling after a sun burn. Peeling is complete in 7-10 days. Patients are advised to use an anti-oxidant moisturizer and a sunscreen daily until the peeling is completed.
It is recommended that you use an antioxidant moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your skin during this time and avoid direct sunlight. You should avoid direct sunlight and apply a sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher, liberally, even on cloudy days. Â
Patients with photo-damaged skin and uneven skin tones will greatly benefit from this peel. Talk to your medical aestheticians to determine which peel system is right for your skin conditions.
Main Characteristics of the peels
Peels can be very relaxing and need not be uncomfortable.
So if you gaze at the famous personality or public figure in the magazine or television and you see a white yogurt like substance on the face and 2 cucumbers around the eyes in a heavenly relaxing atmosphere, then you understand the concept and can even do better for yourself when you pay a visit to your favorite medical spa and have a similar or more superior peel in a relaxing surrounding with great skin results.
