“The Truth about Facial Peels”
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 4:26PM Someone says “facial peel” and most likely you will immediately remember that famous Sex in the City episode where Samantha gets a peel and looks horrendous…. Like a burnt tomato!! Then you think, “reminder to self…. never get one of those”!
Facial peels are really misunderstood and have unfortunately gotten a dose of negative publicity. In all honesty this is a treatment that can be fantastic for your skin! That being said I figured I would give you the proper information, information that will hopefully change your view on this great service and make you want to experience the wonderful benefits that you and your skin are missing out on.
With busy lives most patients do not want a lot of down time and surely don’t want to look like Samantha. In recent years new ingredients and traveling molecules have been found or created, making it possible to come up with some really effective treatments that work wonderfully and don’t have the down time (or make you look like a burnt tomato).
There are generally 3 levels of facial peels, Superficial, Medium Depth, and Deep. A majority of peels are going to be Superficial to Medium in depth. If a doctor is applying them you will find it to be on the deeper end. There are also many different types of acids which when applied will give you a variety of results depending on your skin type, your treatment and your overall expectations.
These treatments are going to make your skin feel wonderful and look Radiant. They also address large pores, dull tired looking skin, hyper pigmentation, Melasma, fine lines and even some of those deeper wrinkles. Chemical Peels are a non-invasive procedure designed to promote cell growth and produce smoother, clearer skin. Even though chemical peels are not laser skin treatments, they do apply energy to the skin that results in the desired changes.
Our clients really love their facial peels. They always notice a change in their product absorption, as well as how nice and smooth their skin looks especially with make-up on, but I have to say my favorite part is how refreshed and clean their skin feels!
