Chemical peels are a skin rejuvenation procedure involving solutions applied directly to the skin. The solution exfoliates the top layer of skin and eventually peel off, revealing smoother, more refined underlying skin. The type of chemical used can be adjusted to target various skin depths and concerns, allowing customization to address specific issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, scars, and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels are effective on the face, neck, and hands, providing a versatile solution for enhancing skin appearance.
Chemical peels are particularly effective for those with acne, aging signs, or hyperpigmentation. The results of a peel can vary depending on the depth of the peel, with lighter peels offering more subtle results and deeper peels providing more significant changes. The effects of chemical peels can last from a few months to several years, depending on the type of peel and individual skin conditions. If you want to refresh your skin and reduce imperfections, consider scheduling a chemical peel session at Solei Clinic Aesthetics & Wellness in San Ramon, CA.
Chemical peels help lighten dark spots by removing the outer layer of the skin that contains the excess pigment. The treatment accelerates skin cell turnover, bringing new cells to the surface faster and fading spots over time.
By exfoliating the skin, chemical peels clear the dead skin cells and unclog pores, which can reduce the severity of acne outbreaks. The peels also remove the bacteria and excess oils that contribute to acne formation.
Chemical peels improve the appearance of enlarged pores by cleansing the pores deeply and tightening the skin through increased collagen production. This process helps make the pores less noticeable and refines the skin’s overall texture.
Individuals with sun damage, acne scars, aging signs, or uneven skin pigmentation are good candidates for chemical peels.
Initial results are typically visible as soon as the skin heals, which can take a few days to several weeks, depending on the depth of the peel.
The longevity of the results can vary; light peels may last a few months, while deeper peels can last up to several years with proper skin care.
Downtime for light peels can range from none to several weeks for deep peels. Side effects include redness, dryness, and peeling of the skin.
Before the treatment, avoid sun exposure and certain skin care products. Afterward, keep the skin clean and moisturized and use sunscreen to protect the new skin.
During a chemical peel, the skin is cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied. You may feel mild stinging while the solution is on your skin. After the treatment, the skin will peel over the following days, revealing new skin beneath.
