Have you ever felt the desire for a fresh start, to leave behind skin concerns like acne, scars, uneven tone, and more? It’s natural to want these issues gone, and while many products claim to work magic, they often fall short. However, there is a solution that can truly help you start anew: chemical peels.
It’s unfortunate that chemical peels have gained an undeserved reputation for being scary in the beauty world. In reality, they are not invasive and can effectively address various skin woes, including acne, scarring, discoloration, and uneven texture. They act like a magical mask, offering transformative benefits. So why are people still hesitant?
First, let’s dispel some myths. A well-chosen chemical peel won’t make you look like a character from a TV show. While your face may peel, it’s usually not as dramatic as feared, and the level of peeling depends on your skin type. Although there might be some minor discomfort during the process, the results are well worth it.
Before getting a chemical peel, there are a few things to consider. If you’re using any acne medications, topical or oral, it’s essential to consult with your dermatologist or skincare professional before scheduling your appointment. Certain ingredients can increase skin sensitivity or thin the skin, so it’s advisable to pause their use a few days before the peel. Additionally, consider the timing of your peel; getting one right before a significant event may not be ideal as it could cause temporary redness, irritation, or peeling. Scheduling the peel 3-5 days before your event would be a safer approach.
Now, let’s talk about how to choose the right peel for you. At Skin Ritualist, we offer different levels of peels based on your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity. If you’re new to chemical peels or have sensitive skin, the Glycolic chemical peel is a gentle starting point. It exfoliates, lightens sunspots and acne scars, and requires no downtime.
For those ready for a stronger option, the Jessner chemical peel is a step up. It contains a balanced mixture of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol, each offering numerous benefits. The Jessner peel is ideal for acne-prone clients, particularly those with cystic acne, as it deeply cleanses and helps heal and prevent cysts. It also aids in fading scars, discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles.
If you’re seeking more intense results and are willing to undergo a longer recovery period, the TCA Chemical Peel is our highest strength option. Made with Trichloroacetic acid, it dissolves the top layer of skin and promotes new cell growth, resulting in baby-soft skin. This peel is specifically for targeting deep scarring and dark marks and should only be done twice a year due to its potency.
If you’re looking for a non-invasive, effective solution to address skin concerns like acne, scarring, discoloration, or fine lines, consider booking one of our chemical peels online. Our treatments are mostly painless and can help you achieve the radiant and refreshed skin you desire.
