A good way to rejuvenate skin is the use of a chemical skin peel, to enable the skin to look younger. Chemical peels will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. Skin peels can remove the dead cells on your skins top layer which can appear as rough skin to reveal more radiant skin which is free from very fine lines.
A skin peel will also help to reduce some other types of skin issues like liver or age spots and can reduce the prominence of freckles also. Chemical peels will result in skin that is more smooth and bright, and will have a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels also have a very positive effect on people suffering from acne; fewer pimples is the expected result, and less inflammation.
Chemical peels are a one day process, with options for touch ups, but a product for skin like a cream or lotion will have to be used for a long period of time, with multiple daily usage required. Many plastic surgery solutions are permanent and more invasive for the patient, and a peel is nowhere close to that level. Chemical peels are much more than subtle adjustments to skin moisture levels or promises to strengthen collagen like some over the counter creams offer.
A peel does what it sounds like; it actually removes layers of skin to expose the underlying cells and causes new cells to grow. Because the re-grown skin is new it has a fresh, bright, tight appearance and fewer blemishes or wrinkles.
A superficial chemical peel is not painful and therefore no pain relief is needed before, during or after the procedure. It is usually recommended that a course of six peels is given one or two weeks apart, to get the best results from superficial chemical peels. Risks are decreased with repeated more superficial peels. For a few days after a skin peel, the side effects are still noticeable. However, some individuals may experience hyperpigmentation, or changes to the look and colouring of the skin afterwards. The capacity for skin to produce pigment is sometimes affected after a deeper skin peel.
To make the skin heal more speedily following the procedure, a patient should clean the skin often and moisturize, this will promote healing and stop infections or rashes. Sunscreen is also another recommendation that physicians will usually give a patient before having a skin peel.
