Are you considering a chemical peel for skin rejuvenation? In addition to removing damaged skin cells to reveal healthier skin, a chemical peel can also help treat some skin conditions. Discover how you can benefit from this revitalizing treatment!
HOW DO CHEMICAL PEELS WORK?
While they may sound intimidating, chemical peels are actually a common and safe procedure! The first step is determining which type of peel is right for your skin. At Anders Dermatology, we offer a variety of peels that can be formulated to any skin type, and we will help you customize the perfect peel for your skin’s needs. Chemical peels are often focused on the facial area, but some can be designed for the neck or hands, as well.
When you receive your peel, an experienced aesthetician will apply the customized formula solution to your face, gently exfoliating the surface level of skin. The solution is left on the skin for three to five minutes, working to remove the dull or dead skin cells.
After your peel, you may experience soreness or redness in the treatment area, which can last for a few days. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to recover! You’ll be able to notice new skin forming within a week of treatment and within a few months, you’ll see the full results and benefits.
WHICH PEELS OFFER THE BEST RESULTS?
In order to give patients the best treatment experience, Anders Dermatology offers a variety of Glytone chemical peels for every skin type! Glytone peels are specially formulated with free glycolic acid, which is known to provide exfoliating and smoothing benefits to the skin’s surface. But Glytone does more than simply smoothing the skin’s texture. Read on to learn the additional Glytone chemical peel benefits you’ll enjoy!
Improved Appearance Around the Eyes
As we age, the skin around our eyes becomes dull, which is why Glytone offers a peel for improving the skin’s appearance. It works to decrease dark spots and circles and increase skin’s firmness—while also improving the tone and texture. Plus, chemical peels help reduce signs of skin damage, including from overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Treats Acne and Acne Scars
Acne can be difficult to treat and even worse, it can result in permanent scarring. Luckily, a chemical peel is one of the best treatment options for mild-to-moderate acne! And for treatment of acne scars, Glytone’s trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel can reach deeper into the skin to peel away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more even complexion—without the discoloration. Depending on the condition of your skin, multiple peels may be recommended, but the results are long-lasting.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
On their own, chemical peels do wonders in smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth by regenerating newer, younger skin. But, consider combining your peel with other rejuvenating skin treatments to further optimize your results! If you’re looking for a more youthful, energized appearance, add an FDA-approved Botox® treatment with your peel to further smooth out deeper lines and wrinkles on the forehead and brow area.
