Everyone wants radiant and flawless skin that glows meticulously. Why shouldn’t they? After all, it’s the first thing that people notice. It speaks volumes about how vibrant, healthy, and well you are at just a glance. Perhaps that’s what makes thousands of people turn to spas every year for advanced skin treatments.

Now various trends are making a significant comeback, from celebrities donning satin slip dresses to chokers becoming trendy all over again. Another nineties revival is making a comeback after being eclipsed by new skin-resurfacing lasers in the early 2000s: chemical peels. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, these topically delivered treatments were the number-one cosmetic procedures to achieve the flawless, spotless, radiant complexion that’s lying just beneath the skin’s surface.

Let’s learn a bit more about chemical peels to motivate you to book a peeling session with extensively trained professionals at Lipstick Empire LaserSpa so that your skin can also make a radical comeback. But first, what’s a chemical peel?

What’s A Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels, also known as derma peeling and chemexfoliation, involve the use of chemical solutions to improve the skin’s appearance. The tailored solution is applied to the skin to cause a controlled injury or trauma to the skin’s layers. This causes the blotchy, sun-damaged skin to eventually peel off, revealing a more radiant complexion. There are numerous benefits of getting chemical peels because they work not only to make the skin appear brighter but also to help you get a refined, smoother skin texture, which results in an overall improved look and feel of your skin. Let’s look at some of the many benefits of chemical peels.

#1 Chemical Peels Make Makeup and Skincare Products Work Better

When the dead skin cells are shed and the living cells move towards the skin’s surface, the skin usually acts and appears more youthful and bright with fewer wrinkles and fine lines due to the increased hyaluronic acid and collagen production. Aside from making the skin radiant and receptive, chemical peels also enable smooth makeup applications and make skincare products used as part of the regimen much more effective as they penetrate deeper to active skin layers rather than sitting on the top, congested skin layer.

#2 Chemical Peels Help Address Specific Skin-Related Concerns

Professional estheticians are well-versed in various chemical peels and have the experience needed to know which solution will suit which skin type. There are three main types of chemical peels, with each one offering unique benefits for the skin.

• The Light Chemical peel improves the skin texture, reduces acne scars, and minimises the effects of sun damage
• The Medium Chemical peel helps improve acne, corrects pigmentation, and reduces surface wrinkles and age spots.
• The Deep Chemical peel helps treat various issues such as deep and coarse wrinkles, pre-cancerous growths, and other signs of sun-damaged skin.

#3 Chemical Peels Reduce the Appearance of Dark-Circles and Discoloration

Contrary to popular belief, dark under-eye circles are not just a symptom of too many late nights; they can be genetic too. If you’ve tried every hack in the book (and on the internet), but you still need expensive makeup to mask those dark eye circles, take heart: chemical peels might be the solution to reduce their appearance over time.

Getting regular peels helps exfoliate the skin, which naturally improves skin’s texture and tone, even around the eyes. This helps eliminate dead skin cells, leading to reduced pigmentation, wrinkles, and fine lines. It also thickens the eyelid skin, which leads to the reduced appearance of bags and dark circles.

#4 Chemical Peels Reduce Melasma

Dark brown or grey spots on the face, or melasma, can be incredibly frustrating. It’s often linked to hormone imbalance, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. From genetic factors to hormone-containing rings and IUDs, birth control pills, and several things can trigger melasma, which is why it’s fairly more common in women than men. Although there’s no real cure for the condition available to date, chemical peels can significantly reduce the appearance of dark zones and spots to make the skin appear fresher and brighter.

Chemical peels help clear blackheads, correct inflammation, unclog pores, zap bacteria, and exfoliate skin cells. Regular chemical peels can help you stay on top of the melasma as they prevent dark spots from forming all over again.

#5 Chemical Peels Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Most people deem chemical peels to be the best solution for scarring, acne, and discolouration. However, peels are also powerful enough to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This is because they remove the top layer of the skin, which is also the layer that looks lax and duller than the newer rejuvenated one. Older skin cells have poor elasticity, making signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines, appear. Chemical peels can help remove the old layer and dead skin cells while also delivering crucial antioxidants that encourage overall skin wellness over time.
