Look Younger, Fresher, and More Confident

By Elen Hanszen


We all want smooth, unblemished skin and this feeling increases as we grow old and start seeing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Many people can lose their self confidence once they start seeing the first signs of aging. When this becomes a major concern, a skin peel is a possible answer to this, and for some, it is the best option.

A good way to rejuvenate skin is the use of a chemical skin peel, to enable the skin to look younger. The prominence of wrinkles and lines on the face are less pronounced after a chemical peel. Fresher skin will be revealed underneath the peel, getting rid of dead cells and making skin look fresher and cleaner and of course, it will help make wrinkles less significant.

Freckles, age spots, and liver spots are reduced dramatically after a skin peel, this is a time tested process. Chemical peels will result in skin that is more smooth and bright, and will have a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels also have a very positive effect on people suffering from acne; they can reduce the inflammation and pimples in acne sufferers.

Chemical peels are a one day process, with options for touch ups, but a product for skin like a cream or lotion will have to be used for a long period of time, with multiple daily usage required. These are not seriously invasive surgical procedures, like other options in the plastic surgery choices available. The length and resulting look of a procedure like a chemical peel will be a much more noticeable effect than a simple beauty cream that claims to increase collagen levels.

Calling it a "peel" says it all; new cells are encouraged to grow as the rough layers and dead skin on the surface on your face are removed. Because the re-grown skin is new it has a fresh, bright, tight appearance and fewer blemishes or wrinkles.

During the whole process and pre and post procedure, there is no need for pain management because a chemical peel does not cause pain to patients. It is usually recommended that a course of six peels is given one or two weeks apart, to get the best results from superficial chemical peels. The more superficial the peel, the less risk is attached to it. Superficial chemical peel side effects last for several days after procedure. However, some individuals may experience hyperpigmentation, or changes to the look and colouring of the skin afterwards. The capacity for skin to produce pigment is sometimes affected after a deeper skin peel.

In the week prior to a skin peel of any depth it's usually recommended that patients clean the skin regularly to reduce chance of infection and the use of moisturizer is recommended to promote even results and fast healing. Sunscreen is also another recommendation that physicians will usually give a patient before having a skin peel.
