Chemical Peels - Skin Savvy USA
Chemical Peels are a popular cosmetic procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its appearance. They are typically used on the face, neck, or hands to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage. The procedure involves applying a solution to the skin, which causes the top layers to peel off, revealing newer, smoother skin underneath.
These peels use mild acids (such as alpha hydroxy acids or beta hydroxy acids) to target the outermost layer of the skin. Superficial peels are used to improve skin texture and tone, and they usually require minimal downtime. They are often referred to as "lunchtime peels" because they can be done relatively quickly.
Medium peels use stronger acids (such as glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid) to penetrate deeper into the skin. They can address more significant skin issues, such as wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation irregularities. Medium peels often require more downtime compared to superficial peels, as the skin may take a week or more to heal.
Deep peels are the most intense and use strong chemicals (such as phenol) to penetrate deep into the skin. They can effectively treat severe wrinkles, deep scars, and other advanced skin issues. However, deep peels require substantial recovery time, and the procedure may need to be performed under sedation or anesthesia.
Skin care of Skin Savvy USA after a chemical peel is crucial. Sun protection and avoiding harsh skincare products are important during the healing process.
The exact aftercare instructions will vary depending on the type of peel performed.
