Peels exfoliate the skin, taking down the dead cells on the surface. Once the dead cells are removed, the pores can then “breathe” and extrude out clogged debris and sebum, thus decreasing the risk of bacterial growth and break outs. Peels stimulate the skin’s natural cellular turnover and growth processes and lead to increased collagen stimulation. This process evens out skin colour, smoothes fines lines, improves skin texture, and reduces acne symptoms. Peels also help your skin care products penetrate to the underlying tissues of the skin, allowing them to work better. Thus, healthy glowing skin can be achieved. At glow medi spa, we recommend a peel once a month for general maintenance in all skin types. If this is not achievable, at minimum, a peel should be done seasonally.
The best treatment and prevention for most skin woes is a chemical peel, specifically chosen for your skin type and skin condition. There are a wide variety of very effective, medical grade peels available. The most important factor is the proper selection of peel. All skin types can be treated with peels, as long as the peel is properly selected, customized, and applied by an experienced medical skin care therapist.
Most of the time, peels are “lunch-time treatments” and there is no down-time. If mild redness occurs, it typically only lasts a few hours and can be easily covered with a light mineral make up which can be applied immediately after the peel if required. Mild flaking may follow for the next few days and can be addressed with moisturizers. The name “chemical peel” sounds ominous and worries some clients. The name arose from peels of the past which did involve more chemical agents which caused significant peeling and redness (as depicted in the popular TV series Sex and the City). Peels have been refined and improved and now are with minimal risk and down time.
At glow medi spa, all peels are on promotion this month.
