The Types of Skin Rejuvenation Peels

The purpose of skin rejuvenation peels is to improve the look of the skin on your face, hands, or neck. The application of a chemical solution to your skin causes an exfoliation and the eventual peeling of your skin. Your newly regenerated skin should be less wrinkled and smoother than your skin prior to the peel. Your skin will be extremely sensitive to the sun until you have completely finished peeling. There are three basic kinds of peels. The first is called a lunchtime or superficial peel. A mild acid such as alpha-hydroxy acid is applied to gently exfoliate your skin. This acid will only penetrate your top layer of skin. This peel was created to improve the look of mild discolorations to your skin, rough skin and for refreshing your face, hands, or chest.

The second type is referred to as a medium peel. Your outer and middle layer of skin will be penetrated by trichloroacetic or glycolic acid to eliminate your damaged skin cells. This peel is effective for improving fine lines, freckles, moderate discoloration of the skin, age spots and wrinkles. This peel is also used for the treatment of certain precancerous skin growths and smoothing out rough skin. The last type is the deep peel. Damaged skin cells are removed through a penetration of your middle skin layer using phenol or trichloroacetic acid. This peel helps eliminate shallow scars, age spots, freckles and moderate lines. The improvement in your skin will be dramatic. This procedure is for the face only and you can only have this peel once.

Prior to having this treatment, it is important to tell the medical professional if your medical history includes facial x-rays or cold sores that continue to return. The medical professional may tell you to stop using specific drugs. You may be advised to prepare your skin using medications including Renova, Retin-A or glycolic acid. In some cases antiviral drugs or antibiotics are prescribed. The depth of the peel you received will be determined by the damage to your skin, your specific cosmetic goals and the medical professional. Depending on which peel you receive, it may be a good idea to have a friend drive you to and from your treatment. Your peel will most likely be given in the office of the medical professional. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis so no stay in a hospital is necessary.

Your treatment will begin with a thorough cleansing of your skin by the medical professional. The next step is the application of the chemical solution or solutions. This may include carbolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, or glycolic acid. The idea is the creation of a controlled wound to enable new skin to replace your existing skin.

The Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation Peels

Skin rejuvenation peels offer a lot of benefits. The peel provides you with a more refined, smoother and brighter complexion and improves the general appearance and feel of your skin with only one treatment. The additional benefits of a peel include:

• A peel will decrease the look of wrinkles and fine lines. This is accomplished through the removal of your skin’s outer layer. The result is an unlined, smooth and fresh new layer of skin. In many instances, all that is needed to eliminate surface wrinkles is a light peel. If the wrinkles are moderate, the best solution is generally a moderate or deep peel.

• A moderate peel will penetrate more deeply within your skin. This is effective for light scarring and surface acne. If you are interested in reducing the look of more significant scars from acne, a deeper peel will be necessary. A clinical study was conducted regarding the phenol peel. Every participant showed a substantial or complete elimination of all acne scars. The severity of the scarring showed an average improvement of 75.12 percent.

• The top layer of your skin is removed during your peel. This layer decreases the effectiveness of your skin care products. After the dead skin has been removed, the same products will absorb easily into your skin. This means just a little bit of an expensive product will last for a long time. The bottom line is this will save you money.

• Most individuals are not aware approximately 90 percent of premature aging signs are caused by radiation from the sun. This type of damage can be reversed or repaired during your peel for your face, neck, hands, and chest. One of the best ways of helping your skin remain youthful and fresh long after your treatment has ended is by protecting your skin with a high quality sunblock.

• Not only will your treatment address your concerns about your skin, the growth of new, fresh skin will be stimulated. The overall texture and tone of your skin will be rejuvenated for a noticeable improvement. The result is a radiant and healthy glow.

• According to studies, when a peel uses salicylic acid, there is a 47 to 75 percent improvement in acne. Fifty to 95 percent of the participants saw a significant improvement in their acne with glycolic acid peels. Since acne is generally an issue impacting the surface of the skin, a lighter peel is usually sufficient.

• A peel is an ideal option for the correction of pigmentation issues including discoloration, hyperpigmentation and melasma from acne scars and age spots.

For the best possible and longest lasting results, three or more treatments are recommended. Your sessions should be scheduled every four to six weeks. The benefit of having multiple treatments is the deeper layers of your skin can be effectively targeted. This provides an enhanced exfoliation for your skin. This is what often results in a cellular turnover. This will produce glowing and healthy skin. The medical professional will determine which type of peel is best for your skin and personal goals during your initial consultation. Your lifestyle and the condition of your skin are also considered.
