    Chemical Peel Treatment with Boiron Calendula

    Chemical peels — also known as derma-peeling — are a technique used to improve the appearance of skin. During a treatment, available at YOUnique Cosmetic Surgery in Los Angeles, a chemical solution is applied to the skin that will eventually cause the surface layers of the skin to peel off. Chemical peels are performed on the face, neck, and hands. The new skin will be smoother and less wrinkled.

    Chemical peels work to:

    • Eliminate acne
    • Reduce or eliminate acne scars
    • Remove dead skin 
    • Produce collagen 
    • Soften your fine lines and wrinkles

    Santa Monica Chemical Peel Benefits

    Safe, non-invasive chemical peels are effective in rejuvenating aging facial skin. Peels remove upper layers of skin, revealing the younger skin below. Here are some of the major benefits of chemical peels:

    • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles from your face  – By safely “peeling away” your top layer of skin, your younger skin underneath will appear softer with fewer or no fine lines and wrinkles.
    • Minimize or eliminate the appearance of facial scars – Over time, you may have little facial scars from a variety of events. Chemical peels can often minimize their appearance.
    • Requires no long recovery period – Many chemical peel patients can resume daily activities right after treatment sessions. The deeper the feel, the more effective, and more recovery time that may be involved.
    • Creates fresher, younger skin for patients without any invasive surgical procedures  – Patients who have used dermal filler injections typically love chemical peel process, which does not involve any surgery or injectables.
    • Overall improvement of your health – Chemical peels are an effective cleaning tool. This peel contains only safe chemical agents that tighten the pores of your skin to reduce acne, even stubborn teen acne. If your skin also includes some so-called “sun spots,” these are also minimized, improving your overall health level. These results will last many years, or even become permanent health benefits.
    • Get noticeably clearer skin after just one treatment session – Chemical peels start working to repair damaged or aging skin immediately.

A chemical solution іѕ uѕеd tо remove the top layers оf thе epidermis whісh аllоwѕ thе dead surface skin tо peel off. Thе peeling process leads tо nеw skin growth whісh іѕ uѕuаllу smoother, healthier аnd lеѕѕ wrinkled compared tо thе оld skin.

    Thе Illuminize peel іѕ divided іntо thrее dіffеrеnt types: thе superficial, medium аnd deep peels. Each is categorized bу thе strength оf thе acid solution uѕеd іn thе peel аnd hоw deeply thеу penetrate thе skin. Deeper peels penetrate thе skin furthеr аnd wоuld require greater recovery time.

    HOW THE ILLUMINIZE PEEL WORKS

    As the peel seeps into the skin, it boosts collagen while lifting off the top layer, or the epidermis, of the skin. This causes a peeling effect. After a layer of skin peels off, it reveals the second layer or the dermis, which has fresher, tighter cells that are not as damaged. The patient may feel a burning sensation (similar to a sun burn) for 1-2 minutes during the peel.

    Vitalize Chemical Peels

    A popular, powerful results driven un-harmful chemical peel. Gentle on the skin, the Vitalize Peel is different from most traditional deep peels, and requires little recovery time. The peel will dramatically rejuvenate the skin from sun damage, age spots, acne scaring, freckles, as well as melasma (dark patches on the face). Vitalize Peel will improve skin texture as well as tightens pores resulting in a healthy smooth complexion. Comprised of Resorcinol, Lactic, Salicylic, and other acids, the Vitalize Peel provides a unique mix of ingredients. For ultimate results combine with our advanced Alma Laser skin treatments.

    Rejuvenation peels treat more severe skin conditions than other peels but remain a safe and effective non-surgical solutions. As you age, your skin ages with you. Wrinkles, such as frown lines, often form as a result of repetitive facial expressions over long time periods.

    Chemical Peel Aftercare

    After having a chemical peel treatment, there are a few things you should or should do. These are typically the same with all but superficial peels, which may need no particular recovery period or specific care. Your new skin may feel tight and warm or may look somewhat red immediately after a treatment, as though you got a mild sunburn.

    Chemical peel recovery time varies slightly for each patient, but as a general guideline, here how to prepare and  what to expect after a chemical peel:

    • Stay out of the sun for about a week.
    • Avoid activities that cause heavy sweating for a few days. Temper your fitness workout schedule accordingly.
    • Use soap-free gentle, hydrating cleansers without using wash cloths.
    • Apply moisturizer twice each day for a while, until your skin is no longer dry and tight.
    • Put on sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher each day for the future protection of your younger skin, even after it recovers from the peel treatment.

    Depending on the peel you choose, recovery time can range from minimal with no real “peeling” to a few days to a week of mild redness and exfoliation. Patients will see improved skin tone and texture with each treatment.
