What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?

What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel 637970820908696157

Chemical peels can be highly effective ways to treat a variety of skin concerns. Our peels at Dundee Dermatology in Elgin, South Elgin, West Dundee, Carpentersville, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, St Charles, and Geneva, IL can help you feel your best again.
 

What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?

Treat Acne

Acne can be an uncomfortable and even painful skin condition. It can also make people struggling with it feel very self-conscious. If you are dealing with acne, you can try using topical treatments, but they may not be as effective as you would like.
 
Especially in cases of moderate or severe acne, a peel may be the best solution. Peels will penetrate your skin more effectively than topical treatments, and they’ll exfoliate your skin to reveal healthier skin underneath.
 

Minimizes Lines and Wrinkles

As you get older, it’s natural for your skin to change. However, you may not appreciate the way these changes make you look. Aging can result in wrinkles and lines forming which might affect your confidence and make you feel older than you are.
 
You can get a peel to rejuvenate your skin and get rid of lines and wrinkles that may have begun to form. Whether you’re seeing a lot of fine lines and want to prevent them from getting worse, or you have some more significant folds and wrinkles forming, a peel can help.
 

Even Out Skin Tone

Problems like discoloration or hyperpigmentation can make your skin tone appear uneven. They can be caused by a variety of factors including excessive sun exposure and simple aging.
 
If you would like a more even skin tone, then you should think about getting a peel. Many kinds of discoloration are surface-level issues, and a peel is a great way to stimulate cell turnover and reveal brighter, even, and more youthful skin underneath.
 

Helps Skin Stay Smooth

Have you noticed unevenness, blemishes, or other types of changes to the texture of your skin? Not only can these issues make your skin look older or even unhealthy, but you’re likely to find you don’t like the way they make your skin feel either.
 
Your peel will help to get rid of all of these uneven textures and keep your skin looking and feeling smooth.
 

Eliminate Scarring

Whether you have acne scarring on your face or your scars are caused by something else, they can have a huge effect on your self-confidence. Unfortunately, many people believe that they simply have to live with any scarring they may have on their faces forever.
 
But this isn’t true. A chemical peel is a great way to reduce the appearance of any type of scarring on your face by exfoliating the top layer of your skin and removing the excess collagen that’s caused scars to form.
 

Manage Rosacea

This is an inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, swelling, and small acne-like bumps on the skin. It can vary from extremely mild to severe. There is, unfortunately, no cure for rosacea.
 
However, there are some effective ways you can manage your symptoms. Getting a peel can help you get rid of any swelling or redness you may be experiencing. Typically, peels are best for people who have mild or moderate forms of rosacea.
 

What Are the Types of Peels?

Light Peels

Your skin has several different layers, and each type of peel affects a different layer. If you get a light peel, this peel will focus on the outermost layer of your skin, also called the epidermis.
 
Only mild chemicals are used with these peels, so it’s safe to get them more regularly than other types of peels. They are best for people with issues like fine wrinkles, acne, dry skin, or uneven skin tones.
 

Medium Peels

A medium peel will help to exfoliate your epidermis, like a light peel, while also penetrating the layer underneath. This layer is called the dermis. With light peels, you can often get them done every few weeks. A medium peel should be done every few months.
 
These peels will work for you if you have more severe wrinkling. They are also good if you have more severe unevenness in your skin tone, or if you have acne scarring.
 

Deep Peels

A deep peel is a much more intensive peel. Along with penetrating your epidermis and the top layer of your dermis, it also reaches deeper into your dermis to provide you with more dramatic and even longer-lasting results. You should only need to get a deep peel once in your life.
 
These peels are effective for people who have very pronounced wrinkling and scarring on their faces. You can also get a deep peel to help remove any precancerous growths you may have.
