If you’re struggling with tired-looking, discolored skin that could use some rejuvenation, you may be interested in chemical peels. This incredible treatment is non-invasive whilst still being incredibly powerful, offering patients a gorgeous glow, a more even skin tone, and even a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Offered here at BeYouth Medspa + Wellness, this treatment is an excellent option for those who want to achieve stunning results while staying away from needles and knives.
This cosmetic treatment works similarly to a facial but uses stronger acids and ingredients to achieve a deeper clean with more dramatic results. During treatment, a technique called “Skin resurfacing” is employed. This means the top layers of skin are removed, revealing healthy skin underneath. While different types of peels use different chemicals to achieve slightly different results, generally speaking, treatment can be used to treat a number of superficial skin concerns, even working as an acne treatment and a tool for wrinkle removal.
Many people are surprised to learn that a non-invasive treatment like this can remedy so many skin concerns. During an initial consultation, you can talk to us about what exactly your aesthetic goals are, and we can decide if this treatment will be potent enough to treat it. Some of the most common concerns include:
The first step is to come in for a chat with a member of the BeYouth Medspa + Wellness team. This will be your chance to talk us through your cosmetic goals, and our chance to inspect your skin and make sure the treatment will work for you. We’ll also look over your medical history, including any skin conditions you may have, to ensure you’re a healthy candidate. If everything looks good, we’ll suggest which kind of peel you should get to achieve optimal results.
Part one of the peel will be the cleansing. This gets your skin completely clean, and when performed by a professional like the staff here at BeYouth Medspa + Wellness, affords a deeper clean than what can be achieved at home. Next will be the exfoliation, where the peeling agent is applied to break down the dead skin cells. Once we’re satisfied the peel has done its job, we will neutralize and then remove it. Finally, a cream or ointment will be applied to soothe your skin.
Not at all! Patients love that this treatment is as easy as any other kind of facial – it can be slotted into a day full of errand-running, or you can head back to work afterward. Any redness can be covered with makeup, and it will subside within a few hours. The most we will suggest is that you stay out of direct sunlight and avoid things like facial massages or harsh products for a few days after treatment, just to let your skin recover.
If you’re in love with your new look after treatment – and we expect you will be! – you’ll be thrilled to learn that you can get a peel again and again. It’s important to let your skin have a break in between, however, and the length of time we recommend between sessions will vary depending on how strong the peel you got was. Generally speaking, patients can come in every three months or so, as this will give the skin apt time to heal.
The kind of peel we recommend will always depend on the individual and their needs, so be prepared to come into your consultation with an open mind and a thoughtful chat about your goals.
As well as getting regular peels, you can take several other steps to keep your skin looking gorgeous between sessions – and these things can even help the results of treatment last longer! Eating a balanced diet can greatly improve the skin’s appearance, so be sure to eat plenty of foods that are high in antioxidants, like berries, and full of fiber, like nuts and leafy greens. Regular exercise keeps the blood pumping through your face, which is also great for keeping the skin bright.
In terms of your skincare routine, it’s important to always wash your face, especially if you’ve been wearing makeup. Using a good moisturizer, and even retinol, can stop lines and blemishes from developing. And before you leave the house, make sure you’re wearing sunscreen! Sun damage is one of the fastest ways you can speed up your skin’s aging process. Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, stress, and air pollution also contribute to dull, damaged skin.
Tired-looking, dull skin can be a thing of the past thanks to chemical peels. Whether you want a refreshed look or you have more specific concerns such as acne scars or fine lines, our expert staff can help you figure out what kind of peel you need and get you feeling more confident and gorgeous in a single session. At BeYouth Medspa + Wellness, we can help you look and feel your best.
