Correct These 5 Skin Problems with a Chemical Peel

Whether you desire to have a fresher, more youthful look, or to correct skin imperfections, a chemical peel can improve the appearance of your skin. This simple, but powerful, in-office treatment removes layers of damaged skin so that new, healthy skin takes its place.

If your goal is to address skin flaws such as fine lines, acne, and sunspots, chemical peels are an ideal way to do so. Expertly crafted skin peels here at The Spa MD can address these skin issues and more.

What’s more, we can safely pair chemical peels with nonsurgical procedures to completely rejuvenate your skin. If you’re considering chemical peels, read on to learn more about how we tackle five common skin imperfections with chemical peels.  

1. Age spots

Chemical peels are an effective way to lighten dark spots (hyperpigmentation). Age spots are a sign of photo-aging, a fancy way of describing changes in your skin that occur over time as a result of sun exposure. Age spots may appear brown, gray, or black. While age spots don’t impact your health, they can cause you to appear up to 20 years older.

Additionally, sun exposed skin appears dull and often lacks luminance. When your goal is to lighten age spots, our licensed aesthetician chooses the right type of peel, such as the glycolic peel,  to lighten your age spots and achieve a more even skin tone. 

2. Fine wrinkles

As you age, the levels of important components in your skin like collagen and elastin decrease. These crucial substances keep your skin flexible and youthful looking. As levels decline, skin begins to sag and develop fine lines and wrinkles. 

When you’re dealing with these types of changes, chemical peels can help improve the appearance of your face, restoring your youthful glow. Chemical peels of the right type and strength diminish the appearance of wrinkles to reveal smoother, fresher looking skin.   

3. Acne

Acne can put a damper on your self-confidence. Whether it’s the result of your teen years, or you developed it as an adult, acne is one of the most common skin imperfections clients seek to remedy.

When done in a series, a superficial chemical peel can address mild to moderately severe acne. The rapid skin exfoliation causes dead skin cells to shed more effectively, improving the appearance of acne.  

4. Uneven skin tone

Whether from a skin disorder or sun exposure, uneven skin tone can be frustrating and distressing. An even complexion contributes to healthy looking skin. At the Spa MD we’ve used chemical peels to help many clients improve and even out their skin tone with fantastic results.   

5. Improve skin texture

Dealing with dry, dull, lackluster skin? A chemical peel can liven up your skin by improving its texture. The exfoliation process brought on by chemical peels stimulates and enhances collagen production. 

This paves the way for softer, smoother, and revitalized skin. You’ll love the way your skin looks and feels. Best part? Most clients notice a difference after just one session.

A thorough evaluation of your skin is necessary to determine which peel is best suited for your needs and skin goals.

Chemical peels are fast and highly effective treatments for a variety of common skin flaws. Whether you want to reverse the signs of aging or rejuvenate your appearance, we can help.
