With so many skin care regiments available, it is difficult to know which one you should do, which treatment you should do often and which you should do maybe seasonally or yearly. First, your aesthetician should be able to write out your “prescription” for the next 6-12 months to make sure that you have beautiful young fresh looking skin. Part of your regiment should be peeling to rejuvenate your skin.

What Is Peeling?

It is just like peeling a vegetable to take off the skin, on your face it removes a layer of dead skin.  Once the layer is removed, any dirt that has built up is gone and your skin will feel rejuvenated as collagen production is

What Types Of Peelings Are There?

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a fairly invasive procedure and should only be done by a professional.  Depending on the type of skin and what needs to be treated (acne, discoloration, wrinkles) a combination of chemicals is brushed on the skin. Some of the chemicals used in this peel are glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid. The skin then reacts to the chemicals, blisters, dries and flakes off. Usually your skin will be red for a few days, and it might itch or burn.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is probably the most invasive type of peel.  It is a surgical procedure, and should be performed only by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.  Once again, it is a procedure that removes the top layer of the skin, helping to diminish scars, patchy skin, acne scars, or to smooth fine wrinkles.  It is also used to remove pre-cancerous growths.  The doctor uses a brush or a diamond wheel to remove the layers of the skin. It can take up to 6-12 weeks to have the redness and swelling go down and have your new skin showing.
