Your skin is exposed daily to outside elements. Along with the natural process of aging, you will likely notice changes to your skin with time. This includes the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation problems, and even sun damage. Thanks to advanced solutions in the field of dermatology and plastic surgery, doctors have many different ways to address these issues for patients. Dr. Stan Castor (MD, FACS) might suggest the advantages of chemical peels to you.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that uses special acids to remove the top layers of skin. The peel removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture and tone, and helps reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. The procedure treats sun damage, acne, age spots, fine lines, freckles, uneven pigmentation, or scars.
Chemical peels are available in different strengths depending on your desired results. The stronger the peel, the deeper it penetrates your skin’s layers. The mildest chemical peels are surface peels, and the strongest are deep peels. The deeper, more aggressive peels require more downtime than surface peels, but a single treatment can achieve the same results as several surface peels combined.
What Is Expected During Recovery Following the Treatment?
After the chemical peels treatment, your skin may be sensitive for several days as it heals. This is especially true with the more aggressive peels. More superficial, lighter peels will often cause redness for a day, maybe two. Although easily disguised with cosmetics. With proper care of the skin during the recovery process, you should see noticeable improvements in the appearance of your skin within one to two weeks after treatment.
