Looking to Improve the Appearance of Your Skin? Here’s 3 Ways a Chemical Peel Can Help

chemical peels Out of all the organs in the human body, your skin is the largest. As such, you want to keep it looking and feeling amazing for quite some time. With the help of a chemical peel, you might be able to do just that. This particular treatment helps eliminate the old skin and pave the way for softer, suppler skin. In fact, chemical peels have a whole host of different benefits that you might not even realize were possible.

Main Benefits of Chemical Peels

  • Reduction in wrinkles and fine lines – As you age, it is only natural to develop wrinkles and fine lines. While they might start smaller, they tend to deepen and worsen over the course of time. Chemical peels are not only effective, but the procedure is relatively simple as well. The results can leave you looking younger in a minimal amount of time.
  • Minimized appearance of freckles and age spots – Anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors has probably dealt with a few sunburns along the way. While you might get a nice tan from all of your time outdoors, you could also end up with age spots and freckles. While many people use makeup to try to minimize the appearance of these spots, it might be a little difficult to use makeup all over your entire body. A facial treatment can work wonders for smoothing out your skin tone and minimizing the appearance of these spots.
  • Diminished acne – Regardless of how old you are, acne isn’t exactly something anyone wants to deal with. Peels can help with scarring and minimize acne leaving you with smooth, soft skin. Instead of acne standing out on your face, your skin could end up looking and feeling like it did when you were younger.

Demystifying the Chemical Peel

Chemical peels seem to have a bad reputation, and many people are unnecessarily afraid to of getting them. The truth is, when done by a properly trained professional, a chemical peel is a safe and effective treatment for skin care. To understand if a chemical peel is right for you, the first step is to separate fact from fiction.

Myth #1: Chemicals are bad for you

  • Truth: The word “chemical” can sound intimidating. The thought of putting a chemical on your face seems a little scary. But there’s no need to worry; chemical peels are safe. The active acids in most peels are natural, including glycolic acid which derives from sugar cane, lactic acid which comes from sour milk, or alpha hydroxyl acid which is found in fruit.

Myth #2: You have to have bad skin to get a chemical peel

  • Truth: Actually, most skin types can benefit from a chemical peel, regardless of if you have problem skin or not. It’s true that chemical peels are an effective way to treat blemished skin, but they can also prevent skin from becoming problematic in the future. Chemical peels stimulate healthy cell growth while exfoliating dead cells at a faster rate than they would on their own, dramatically change the look and feel of your skin.

Myth #3: A chemical peel can be done at home

  • Truth: Do-it-yourself chemical peels can be found in local drug stores, but they can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. To perform a safe, effective chemical peel, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the skin. Acids can cause injury and scarring, even in low doses. And the results are not as successful when a chemical peel is done at home because manufacturers can’t give the appropriate strength ingredients necessary to exfoliate effectively.

Myth #4: Chemical peels require a lot of downtime

  • Truth: Unless you have a very deep chemical peel performed by a physician (which is becoming increasingly rare), you can usually resume your daily activities right away with a superficial peel. If you have a medium peel, you may need to take two or three days of work to recover.
