As we age, our skin texture can change because our cell turnover rate slows. Youthful skin is typically smooth, elastic, and radiant, but age changes those properties. Exfoliating the top layers of skin can reveal a brighter complexion and a more radiant appearance as your body grows back to new skin. Chemical peels in Olathe could give you a fresh, new, and more youthful complexion. Our Med Spa is ready to help you choose the best peel for you.
You might consider a chemical peel for several reasons. First, they can reduce early signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. As you grow older, your body naturally produces less collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the structure and elasticity of your skin. As production slows, your skin can sag, creating lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels can be used on the face, neck, and hands to remove the top layers of skin, promote collagen and elastin production, and reveal the fresh skin below.
Peels in Olathe can also remove dark spots or hyperpigmentation on the face or hands, minimize the appearance of acne scars, and reduce the appearance of sun damage. At Associated Plastic Surgeons, chemical peels are performed by an experienced licensed esthetician.
Chemical peels come in several strengths and use a variety of exfoliants. Your esthetician will help you choose the correct peel for your skin type and aesthetic goals.
After a light peel, you might notice a milder irritation or drying. In most cases, complete healing is finished in one to seven days.
The most common after effects of a medium peel include redness and swelling. Most people can begin wearing makeup within seven days, and complete recovery can be expected in two weeks.
Like other cosmetic procedures, a chemical peel is not the right choice for everyone. They are best to avoid if you frequently develop cold sores, have a history of skin scarring, or have psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (eczema). People with darker skin have a higher risk of hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels are not advised for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a compromised immune system.
