Skin peels, otherwise known as Chemical peels, can sound a bit daunting given the name. However, skin peels are incredibly effective in treating a range of skin conditions and are a lot less intimidating than they sound.

Skin peels offer a number of benefits for any and every skin type. Whether your goal is to brighten up dull skin, heal acne, lighten melasma, or get rid of sun damage that causes pigmentation and fine lines, skin peels are beneficial for almost everyone. 

Here is a bit on skin peels and how they can benefit your skin:

What are skin peels?

Skin peels, or chemical peels, use a custom blend of professional ingredients that help to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote cell turnover to reveal healthy, youthful skin. Although they can sound daunting, when administered by a trained skin care professional, skin peels are safe and effective for all skin types and concerns. There are many different types of skin peels that range from superficial/light peels to more aggressive alternatives. 

How do they work?

During a skin peel treatment, your practitioner will help you choose a peel suited to your unique skin type, concerns, and budget. After the skin is cleansed and prepped the peel is applied directly to the skin. The acids in the skin peel solution break the bonds of the outer skin layers to eventually peel off, revealing brighter, smoother, youthful skin. The amount of peeling experienced depends on the depth of the peel and of course, the individual’s skin.

Major Benefits of Skin Peels:

Treat and prevent Acne 

The acids found in skin peels dive deep to unclog pores and skim the surface of your skin to get rid of black heads and reduce the appearance of acne scars. They help to rapidly exfoliate the skin, allowing dead skin cells to shed and prevent pores from clogging. Skin peels are one of the most effective treatments for acne because they work to simultaneously help clear breakouts while improving the appearance of acne scars and preventing future breakouts.

Improve skin tone and texture

Skin peels, or chemical peels, can dramatically improve skin texture and tone to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. They do this by removing the outer damaged layers of the skin and promoting “cell turnover” for newer, fresher skin to reveal itself.

Decrease Hyperpigmentation

Another beneficial use of skin peels is that they are used to treat a wide range of pigmentation issues such as sun damage, melasma, acne scars, and age spots. Peels help to reduce discoloration and promote a healthy, even looking skin tone.

Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Skin peels are an effective treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially moderate to advanced peels that dive deep into the skin. The chemicals in the skin peel solution create a controlled wound that causes the outer skin layers to peel, allowing new youthful skin to grow in place of fine lines and wrinkles.
