Chemical
exfoliation + peels
Chemical Exfoliation and Peels act as
exercise for the skin. Because of the aging process and environmental
stressors our cells slow down and become sluggish. Having an exfoliation
performed on a regular basis or a peel performed a couple times
a year, helps bring youth back to the skin and cells. Both
procedures lighten pigmentation, reduce fine lines, increase
skin hydration, strengthen the epidermis (outer layer), build
the dermis (2nd layer), and bring the healthy glow back to the
skin. Peels and exfoliations are some of the best procedures
to maintain the health of the skin when performed regularly.
Exfoliations have no downtime. Prior skin preparation is not necessary
but preferable. Results are best when done regularly and
on an ongoing basis, generally 4-8 a year. Exfoliations
are also a very useful tool to help acne patients clean out pores.
Peels generally result in about a week of down time (pink, tight,
and sloughing skin). You need to prepare your skin for 6-8
weeks with professional products prior to the procedure. You
will see a noticeable difference in just one peel. Generally 1-2
peels a year are sufficient. Peels can be great in combination
with professional products to help with scarring and discoloration
from prior acne.
"I
just wanted to email you and let you know how much I enjoyed my
micro peel. You do such a nice job. More attention than I have
received anywhere else. I will be back in 6 weeks."
