A Non Invasive Way To Skin Resurfacing And Rejuvenation

Posted by DavidHarley on February 17th, 2017

Flawless, clear and glowing skin is everyone’s dream. There are many skin concerns that require more than just the regular skin care and over-the-counter products. The regular OTC skincare products only deal with superficial skin issues and that too for the short span of time. If you discontinue their use they often return back. Saloon and spa facials also just give a short term glow and radiance to your face. For long-term results, you need to go for medical grade products and treatments which give relatively longer lasting skin rejuvenation results.

In the recent years, chemical skin peel treatments have gained increasing attention due to their excellent skin rejuvenation results. This has also attracted aestheticians, cosmetic practitioners and dermatologists to include chemical skin peeling treatment to their cosmetic medicine practice.

The skin peel treatment is kind of an intense exfoliation using a chemical agent which removes the dead and damaged layer or layers of skin cells. Due to ageing and other factors, the natural process of skin shedding slows down which results in accumulation of dead skin cells over the surface. This also slows down the generation of new and healthy skin cells taking away the natural glow and vibrancy of skin.

The chemical peel when applied to the skin loosens the bonds between the skin cells which dissolve and sheds off. When the damaged and dead skin layers peel off, fresh, healthy and new skin makes its way to the surface. The new skin is smoother, clearer, healthier and glowing than the old skin.

The administration of chemical skin peel requires comprehensive and in-depth understanding and knowledge of skin anatomy, its types and how the process of skin peeling treatment works. It also requires that the aesthetician should have knowledge about the formulation and types of chemical skin peels. All this comes from proper skin peel training from a reputed aesthetic training institute.

There are three main categories in which the different types of chemical peel treatments fall. These include;

•    Light/ superficial skin peels
•    Medium depth peels
•    Deep skin peels

A relatively new category of skin peel treatments is fusion or cocktail peels which combine the potent skin rejuvenating and vitalizing ingredients for excellent outcomes.
Depending on what results the client expects, as an aesthetic professional you can choose from any of the above-mentioned peel treatments. Each category of peel has a different constitution and chemical concentration which penetrates at different skin levels.

Superficial/ light skin peels are the mildest type of skin peels which are performed on the outpatient basis and do not require any anaesthetic. The treatment is quick and causes minor side effects. These are also referred to as ‘lunchtime peels’ as they can be undertaken during the lunch hour and the client can continue with normal routine work following the peel. The treatment cause minor peeling and the results are subtle.

Medium peels are slightly stronger than light peels and are also done on outpatient basis however the recovery takes 5-7 days. The treatment gives dramatic results of skin rejuvenation. The deep skin peels penetrate deeper into skin layers and require anaesthetic during the treatment. The recovery takes longer about 10-15 days and the side effects are severe which takes many days to resolve. It produces highly dramatic results when administered by a professional and trained aesthetician.
