By ccadmin
Chemical peel results are usually quick and satisfactory. However, the results also depend on the depth of the peeling agent and the number of treatments. In this case, it is more the better. Depending on your skin type and other factors, you may have to get multiple treatments for the best results. In general, three treatments are recommended per year to maintain these results. Following the treatment, you need to take care of your skin by which you can enjoy your chemical peel results for longer.

What is the process like?
Chemical peel treatment is done by a medical professional who will follow certain necessary precautions. The chemical peels used by surgeons have a lower pH than home use products which penetrate much deeper into the skin and treat hyperpigmentation and acne. Hence, it is always advisable to get the procedure done by a medical esthetician for better and quicker results. The process includes applying an acid chemical solution. The solution starts peeling off over the course of a few days and continues until a few weeks. At times, the peel is removed by the surgeon after the process. During the process, you may feel stinging, burning, and even itching. They will stop once the peel is over. After the peeling process, you will experience the old or damaged skin coming off and the younger skin underneath will be revealed.

The recovery process is also equally significant and requires great care. The skin becomes quite sensitive after the chemical peel. Whenever you are exposed to the sun, always apply sunscreen. Remember that the skin becomes dry and tight after the peel, which is common and nothing to be worried about. Keep your lotion and sunscreen handy.

Who can get it done?
Chemical peel is for everyone who wants to have clear and healthy skin free of all skin issues. However, there are a few exceptions based on your medical condition. People who have a tendency to scar, have autoimmune diseases like cancer, or have an open sore cannot get a chemical peel. This treatment is also not advisable for pregnant women or feeding mothers.

What are the benefits?
With minimum discomfort, chemical peel gives more benefits. Therefore, it is the most desired treatment for healthy and beautiful skin. This treatment helps in reducing freckles, melasma and age spots. It treats wrinkles, acne and acne scars, thereby allowing healthy skin to appear.

The generation of collagen makes your skin scar-free, acne-free and also the fine lines are reduced. Based on your skin type, get multiple treatments to get an even-toned skin.
If you’re looking to get chemical peel treatment for the first time, then it is always advisable to consult a specialist who can guide you through the process.
