Are you tired of dry-looking skin? Do you wish to improve your overall skin appearance?
If so, a chemical peel may be the right treatment for you! Done right, a chemical peel can help you achieve smoother skin underneath.
Let’s take a look at how this is possible.
What Is Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel treatment is an acidic solution applied to the skin to remove damaged skin cells on the top layer.
Beyond deep exfoliation, chemical peels also help boost collagen growth, giving you a more even-toned and brighter skin complexion.
By stimulating new skin growth, a chemical peel can improve your skin texture, resulting in a more radiant, glowing appearance.
Types of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are categorized into three main types: superficial, medium-depth, and deep peels.
- Superficial Peels. A superficial peel is the gentlest type of peel and is usually used for reducing lines and wrinkles, treating mild acne, and improving skin texture and tone.
- Medium-depth Peels. Meanwhile, a medium-depth peel is more effective if you want to treat sun damage and age spots, reduce moderate lines, or fade hyperpigmentation.
- Deep Peels. Lastly, a deep peel is the most intensive chemical peel used for severe sun damage, precancerous skin growths, and deep wrinkles and scars.
Chemical Peel (VI Peel)
One of today’s most sought-after chemical peels is the VI Peel.
This medium-strength and medical-grade chemical peel is used by many providers to address fine lines and uneven skin texture and tone.
It’s also effective in minimizing signs of aging as well as sun damage. In fact, chemical peel (VI Peel) has five types:
- VI Peel
- VI Peel Precision
- VI Peel Precision Plus
- VI Peel Purify
- VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus
Regardless of the VI Peel you get, rest assured that you can notice significant improvements in your various skin concerns.
Aftercare: What To Expect After Chemical Peel
Your skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun after a chemical peel treatment. However, there are also other aftereffects depending on the intensity of the treatment.
Superficial Peels
If you have a superficial peel, you will likely experience mild redness and possible irritation immediately after the peel. Fortunately, this only subsides within a few hours.
Your skin may also feel dry and tight for a few days. On top of that, flaking can also happen within 2-3 days after.
Medium-Depth Peels
On the other hand, if you try a medium-depth chemical peel (VI Peel), you can expect more noticeable redness and swelling, which can last for several days. This is normal.
The treated area may also develop a crust which will naturally peel off over 1-2 weeks, revealing the new skin.
At this time, you have to reduce sun exposure since your skin will be highly sensitive to the sun and other irritants.
Deep Peels
Deep peels yield the most dramatic transformations but often cause more discomfort than other types of peels, bringing more intense side effects, such as prolonged burning or stinging sensations.
