3 Advantages of a Medical Grade Facial Peel
Chemical facial peels are incredibly popular for people of all ages because they can make a dramatic impact on skin’s appearance. While chemical peels have traditionally been completed only with a licensed esthetician or dermatologist, there are many over-the-counter chemical peel options today. However, store bought chemical peels are not as effective as medical grade facial peels and will not provide the same results as if they were completed by a professional. Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin that removes a layer of skin to reduce wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging. The end result is transformed, beautiful skin. But, because the high concentration of harsh chemicals used, only an experienced and licensed esthetician or dermatologist can use medical grade products safely and without risk of severe injury. Store bought chemical peels may provide slight results but their concentration of chemical is significantly reduced and they will not be as dramatic or long-lasting as a professional performed medical grade facial peel. Below are 3 advantages of having chemical facial peel in office with a professional.
1. Improve the Appearance of Scars, Dark Spots, Sun Damage and Aging
When a chemical peel is applied, it causes the skin to blister and peel off (it sounds more painful than it is). By peeling a layer of skin off, you remove scars, dark spots, sun damage and sign of aging on the surface of the skin. Thus, you are left with skin tone and pigment that appears more even.
2. Treat and Reduce Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Many chemical peels have compounds that are specifically designed to not only peel a layer of skin but also contain things like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants that help reduce and treat fine lines and wrinkles. A medical grade chemical peel is a staple of any anti-aging regimen.
3. Improve the Surface Texture of Skin
Chemical peels remove a layer of skin so that a fresh, healthier layer can be revealed. Additionally, chemical peels unclog pores, help clear up acne, improve your skin’s ability to retain moisture, improve the cell turnover rate of your skin, and more. All of these things dramatically improve the surface texture of your skin. Your skin will have a natural glow that it did not have before. Additionally, if you wear makeup, application will be far easier when you are working with a smoother more even-toned face.
