Are Chemical Peels Good for Your Skin?

June 18, 2021 by wpengine

Are you wishing there was a way to rejuvenate the look and feel of your skin without the pain and hassle of surgery? If so, you may want to take a look at chemical peels. They are non-invasive treatments that can not only refresh the look of skin but also aid with some skin concerns like discoloration and minor scarring. If you want to learn more, here at Nuance Cosmetic Surgery in Folsom, CA, we can help!

Are Chemical Peels Good for Your Skin?

It may surprise you to know that chemical peels are actually good for your skin and can play a crucial role in helping your skin remain healthy! They are able to help your skin shed dead skin cells without abrasion and even promote collagen production beneath the skin. Think of it as a great helper to bring refreshed skin cells to the surface.

So, if you are worried that this treatment may not be good for your skin, those doubts are unfounded. This treatment is actually great for the skin and can also help with a number of skin concerns.

Treatment Benefits 

With chemical peels, you can expect an abundance of benefits!

Less Visible Sun Damage & Acne Scarring 

Visible sun damage can cause the skin to appear uneven, and acne scarring can cause the same issue. Both of these fairly common concerns can be difficult to deal with but this treatment can significantly fade the look of them in as little as a single treatment session. If you have struggled with either of these issues you know how quick that really is!

Smaller Pores

Larger pores cause the skin to look worn and dull. They are usually a product of clogged pores but this treatment can open up pores and cause them to look a lot smaller and healthier.

More Even Skin Tone

Lots of redness and other uneven skin tone is another concern that many have. This treatment is going to even out skin’s complexion, giving you radiant, bright skin.

Smoother Skin

If you have rough skin or bumps on certain regions, this treatment can help with that too! It will smooth away any uneven skin and give you a smoother feel that you can not only touch but also see!

Fewer Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Lots of people struggle with fine lines and wrinkles. If you only use at-home treatments to fade this issue, it can seemingly take forever if it even works at all. This type of treatment is highly effective at fading away any fine lines and wrinkles especially around the eyes, the mouth and on the forehead.

Boosted Collagen Production

Natural collagen production does so much for the skin. It keeps it firmer, plumper, and looking young. This treatment is fantastic because it actually boosts natural collagen production over time which is going to help you maintain any results of this treatment longer.

Younger-Looking Skin

Overall, this treatment is going to help your skin look younger. It will be plumper, firmer, have fewer lines and wrinkles, and appear much brighter and glowy. If you are seeking a way to have younger-looking skin quickly, there are few options that can compare to this one.

Decreased Active Acne 

Those who struggle with active acne find this type of treatment to be extremely helpful. It is going to help heal active acne and even prevent future breakouts which is a huge win for many who struggle with this common concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does This Treatment Hurt?

No, the staff will be there to make sure that you experience no pain during this treatment. If you are worried about pain, don’t be! It is not going to hurt you or your skin.

2. Is This Safe?

Yes, this treatment is completely safe and is designed to promote skin health.

3. Can It Cause Any Damage to My Skin?

No. Again, this treatment was designed to promote the health of the skin. You do not have to be worried about any damage being done to you or your skin through this process. Skin will look better than ever and it can even help repair past damage caused by acne and other issues.

4. How Often Can I Have Treatment?

Most people can safely have this treatment once every 4 to 6 weeks but because everyone has different skin, it is important to listen to our experts when it concerns how long you should wait in between treatment sessions. Our staff wants you to be able to get the most out of treatment so they will never steer you wrong.

5. How Long Will My Treatment Session Take?

Most treatments take about 30 minutes. However, some may run a little bit longer while others may be a bit shorter depending on your skin concerns and the strength of your chosen peel. You can get a ton of amazing benefits for just a super quick session and that is just one more reason why more people are choosing this route to better skin.

6. When Will I Get To See My Results?

You will start to see your results within a week or so following your treatment session but you should continue to see even more improvements to your skin in the weeks following. This treatment works to bring new, healthy skin cells to the surface and that can take some time. Either way, the results are worth the wait as many before and after pictures can attest.

7. How Long Will My Results Last?

This will vary depending on your age and other variables. However, most people see that their results last for 4 to 6 months and sometimes up to a year. Our experts might be able to give you a better idea of how long you should expect your results to last. Regardless, you can have additional touchup treatments to help maintain your results over time which many people opt to do because they love their results so much!

8. How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments you will need is going to depend on your skin goals and concerns. Issues like deeper lines and wrinkles will likely take more treatments to fade while those who have very mild lines and wrinkles may be happy with their results after only one treatment. Just be sure to let our staff know all of your goals and expectations so they can help you achieve the skin you want.

9. Is This Option Only Available to Women?

Absolutely not! This treatment is for anyone who is seeking to refresh the look of their skin without painful surgeries. Both men and women can enjoy the skin benefits of this treatment. It is also no surprise that more men are seeking out this treatment and others like it to also enjoy younger, refreshed skin!

10. How Do I Know if It’s Right for Me?

This treatment is effective on most skin types and tones so many people can get benefits from treatment. If you are someone who wants to boost the look and feel of your skin and perhaps deal with some issues like signs of aging, discoloration, uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture, acne, acne scarring, or other concerns, it is safe to say that this treatment is one that you should look into!
