Everyone wants great-looking, healthy skin. With all the advancements in dermatology there are plenty of varieties of skin care options that can range from mesotherapy to microneedling to chemical peels.

Chemical facials and peels have been growing in popularity, but can still be a little unfamiliar to some people. So in this article we’ll go over what a chemical peel is and the benefits of getting one done.

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel or facial is a restorative procedure that can help reduce the appearance of aging on your face. When you get a chemical peel done, there will be multiple chemical solutions applied to your skin. These solutions will peel away damaged skin cells which allows your healthy skin to grow in their place.

Chemical peels can help improve common skin concerns such as:

Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Acne
Uneven textures and more!

But the exact results of your chemical peel will depend on many factors that can include the severity of your skin and which type of peel you choose to go with.

What are the benefits of chemical?

Since chemical peels are ideal for a variety of skin issues, some of the benefits include the following below.

Acne

Chemical peels can benefit those who have issues with acne, since acne is usually treated with topical products this makes chemical peels an ideal remedy. By having a chemical peel done you can help your skin break down any plugged hair follicles (also called comedones), decrease oil production, kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and increase the absorption of topical treatments.

Acne scars

As your skin heals from acne, your skin will create new collagen fibres to try to repair the lesions that were made by the inflamed skin. These new collagen fibres can make your skin bumpy or raised (this is called hypertrophic scars) or it can create depressions in your skin (called atrophic scars). A chemical peel can help the appearance of these scars since chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of your skin which helps remove excess collagen.

Rosacea

Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, swelling, and red bumps. It can also cause acne-like breakouts, which is known as acne rosacea. Chemical peels can help relieve these symptoms. But keep in mind, this is only typically recommended for mild or moderate rosacea.

Aging skin

Chemical peels are known to help reduce signs of aging, which includes:

wrinkles
fine lines
age spots
uneven skin tone
dryness

As your skin heals and grows back after a chemical peel, it will be smoother, supple and strong. When skin grows back, it triggers the production of collagen and elastin, these two proteins help your skin maintain its elasticity and firmness.

But chemical peels are not recommended for people who have deep wrinkles or sagging skin, as they won’t help tighten sagging skin.

Hyperpigmentation

Chemical peels can also improve other forms of hyperpigmentation. If you have uneven skin tone, freckles, discolouration due to sun damage, a deep chemical peel can remove these types of issues (as well as some more) and actually decrease your risk of skin cancer.

Five Ways to Improve Your Facial Skin

Commit to a Daily Skincare Routine

Everyone has different skin and therefore requires a unique skincare routine. Examine your skin and what you require to make it more how you want it. Is it oily or dry? Do you break out or not? Are there signs of aging or pigmentation? Over time, you’ll come to understand what you need for your skin to maintain its natural glow and complexion. When you do know what your skin is like and what it needs, take the time to develop a skincare routine around your goals, using personalized skincare products that work for your skin. By committing to a routine that works for your skin, you’ll slowly develop results that can enhance your facial features.

Get Routine Chemical or Facial Peels

Perhaps the most well-known and decisive treatment you can get for your skin. Effective, easy-to-administer, and delivering fantastic results, chemical peels should be part of your skincare routine, with a session every few months. It involves applying a chemical solution on your face, letting it sit for several minutes, if not more. The solution settles into the skin and when the peel is removed, all the dead skin cells and toxins will be removed with it. There are various chemical peel options available, including Superficial (a light peel), Medium and Deep (the strongest peel, which penetrates deep into the skin).

Undertake Mesotherapy

You can rejuvenate and restore your facial skin with this revolutionary and popular treatment. Mesotherapy is the minimally invasive injectable treatment, where a cocktail of vitamins and nutrients is injected into the mesodermal layer of skin (the middle layer). The treatment will nourish and stimulate collagen production, empowering your facial skin. You can get customized mesotherapy treatments based on your goals and skin profile.

Consider Dermal Fillers

Before you jump the gun and consider dermal fillers as a “foreign” injectable, think again. Dermal fillers are made with the naturally occurring substance of hyaluronic acid – made in your own body! This means that dermal fillers don’t tamper or impact your facial features but only enhance them naturally. That means you’ll get natural-looking results that beautify your features without tampering. You can add volume to your lips, chin and nose, smooth unwanted wrinkles while rejuvenating your skin!

Maximize the Potential of Vitamin Therapy

Vitamin therapy, while similar to mesotherapy, is a different treatment altogether. Vitamin shots in Calgary involve a cocktail of nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins, which are injected directly into your bloodstream, so you immediately feel its effects. Vitamin therapy won’t only boost your immunity so you feel better but can also produce collagen which will make give you healthy, softer and brighter-looking facial skin.

As you can see, there are ways in which you can improve your skin naturally, so you get the best results. No matter your skin profile or your facial features, Juvea Aesthetics can help you get the facial skin you want!
