Chemical Peels 101: How You Can Brighten Your Skin for a Younger Looking You
Living in Boynton Beach, our skin is no stranger to soaking up the sun. While it does give us that gorgeous bronzy glow, even 10 tons of sunscreen a year isn’t going to help prevent at least a bit of skin damage in the form of wrinkles or sunspots—it’s inevitable! But the good news is, there is a way to restore your skin to that younger-looking dewy complexion we all crave, and the answer is chemical peels!
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel, also called a facial peel, is a cosmetic dermatology treatment where a solution is applied to the skin to remove layers of dead and damaged skin weathered from the elements. The chemical peels we perform at Ocean’s Dermatology aren’t your average chemical peel though, we offer medical-grade chemical peels that go deeper for enhanced, longer-lasting results. What this means is we use medical-grade supplies to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate your skin!
The 101 on Chemical Peel Treatments in Boynton Beach
If you want to reawaken tired skin and bring back self-confidence you’ve lost from aging skin, here’s the full 101 on chemical peels based upon all our clients most frequently asked questions!
How long does a chemical peel take?
You can’t have your skincare treatments take you out of the game for long in a fast-paced area like Boynton Beach, we get it. This simple cosmetic dermatology procedure takes less than 30-minutes and recovery time is minimal. You may experience peeling and redness for a few days, but it’ll be gone in no time!
What damage can a chemical peel reverse?
As we get older, our face has been exposed to sun, dirt, dust, sand—all the things. With that environmental exposure comes aging. Aging comes in many forms including dead skin, uneven skin tones, wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, dark pigmentation and more. Chemical peels will remove the dead skin, even skin tones, refresh and hydrate, and restore that youthful brilliance through stimulating new skin growth! Out with the old, in with the new!
What are the benefits of a medical grade chemical peel?
While we kind of touched on it above, there are a few more benefits of chemical peels. As the dead skin is removed, they can increase collagen production for tighter skin, help clear up breakouts from clogged pores, reverse conditions like melasma, among other benefits!
Can anyone give a chemical peel or just certified cosmetic dermatologists?
Anyone can give a standard run of the mill chemical peel. They even sell at-home chemical peels. But cosmetic dermatologists are the only ones able to provide medical-grade chemical peels with better quality products only certified providers can apply. These produce better results and last longer, not to mention they’re safer when done by a professional.
How often should I get chemical peels for optimal results?
We recommend you make chemical peels part of your typical beauty regimen for best results. Every four to six weeks is sufficient to make sure you’re rocking that youthful glow always, even as time passes by.
