Basic Information

A professional word “chemexfoliation” means a chemical peel. This procedure is used to improve the outlook of your skin not only on the face, but also on the neck and hands. A list of the problems you can get rid of thanks to the chemical peel is really long. It includes acne treatment, age spots, wrinkles, skin pigmentation, and scars removing.

You can upload before and after pictures to see the effect of the chemical peel. The procedure is about using special chemical solutions. A doctor or a cosmetologist applies them to a patient’s skin, and they work like brushes, leaving soft and smooth skin after the procedure. The solutions may contain different chemical components like phenol, alphahydroxy acids, etc. Your cosmetologist will work out a special formula to be maximum suitable for your skin.

Choose a Type

Light chemical peel may be used when a patient’s problems are not too serious. Here we talk about acne, some wrinkles, and skin dryness. This type of procedure is not rough but is effective enough to remove these imperfections together with epidermis, or the surface skin layer. In this case a specialist will use only the mildest chemicals for the exfoliation. Moreover, the light chemical peel is a repeatable treatment that you can undergo once a week six weeks in a row.

During this treatment a cosmetic consultant will cleanse your face, then spread the prepared solution over your face or other necessary areas, and leave it for 5-10 minutes. It is okay if you feel little stinging, it means the chemicals are working. Afterwards a cosmetologist will wash off the peel from your face.

Medium chemical peel is another type of this procedure, applied in the cases when a patient’s problems are more serious – deeper scars and wrinkles, etc. The main difference of this procedure from the first one is that not only epidermis, but also dermis (the upper part of the skin’s middle layer) gets removed. Thus, the chemicals used here are not that mild, either. Because of these components and a rougher character of the peel a patient’s skin may be a little reddish for the first couple of days, but within several weeks it will acquire its usual color.

For even deeper wrinkles, sun burns, scars and other imperfections choose the deep chemical peel. You may discuss before and after photos of this procedure at the site, and read about its effects as well.
