If you’re looking to improve your skin’s pigmentation, texture, and overall appearance, chemical peels are a great option. They can be tailored to meet your specific needs, and they provide dramatic results.
In this blog post, we will discuss why fall is the best time for chemical peels. Keep reading to learn more!
WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
Chemical peels are a type of facial treatment that uses chemical solutions to exfoliate the skin. This process removes dead skin cells, which can help to improve the appearance of the skin. Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including pigmentation issues, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin texture, and more.
WHAT CHEMICAL PEELS CAN DO FOR YOU?
Chemical peels can provide a number of benefits, depending on your specific goals. You can select a chemical peel in one of three depths, depending on the concerns you’re trying to address:
-
Light: A light chemical peel can improve the appearance of your skin with minimal downtime. The epidermis is removed with a gentle (superficial) chemical peel. It is used to treat dryness, uneven skin tone, fine wrinkles, and acne. Light chemical peels can be done every two to five weeks.
-
Medium: A medium chemical peel can provide more dramatic results than a light chemical peel, but it will also require more downtime. This type of chemical peel can be used to treat moderate pigmentation issues, as well as to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It eliminates skin cells from the epidermis and some of the upper layers of your middle layer of skin. Uneven skin tone, acne scars, and wrinkles are all treated with it. To get or keep the desired result, you might need to repeat the process.
-
Deep: Deep chemical peels remove skin cells from the epidermis and the upper and lower layers of your middle layer of skin. These peels are great for more severe wrinkles and scarring. Keep in mind that chemical peels cannot tighten sagging skin, eliminate deep wrinkles, or remove deep scars. However, chemical peels can help drastically improve the overall appearance of your skin.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO GET A CHEMICAL PEEL?
Chemical peels can be done all year round, but we recommend scheduling your appointment during the fall or winter months.
Chemical peels make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it’s important to avoid sun exposure during the healing process. If you get chemical peels during the hot summer months, you’ll need to take extra care to protect your skin from the sun. Whereas if you get chemical peels during the fall, you can take advantage of the cooler weather and avoid the sun.
