Published on March 28, 2017 by FACEOLOGYMDLooking to improve the texture of your skin? Trying to get rid of hyperpigmentation? Look no further than the Perfect Derma Peel.
What Are the Advantages of the Perfect Derma Peel?
The Perfect Dermal Peel is a chemical peel that offers numerous benefits:
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Softens worn, sun-damaged skin
• Refreshes the skin
• Reduces the appearance of sun spots, melasma, and scars
• Effectively reduces acne scars
• Corrects uneven skin color
• Reduces enlarged pores that can clog and cause acne
• Helps tighten the skin by increasing collagen and elastin production
The best feature of the Perfect Derma Peel is that anyone between 13 and 75 years of age can undergo the treatment, which is safe for all skin types.
What Does the Perfect Derma Peel Contain?
The most important ingredient of the Perfect Derma Peel is glutathione, an antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that perform a range of functions to improve our overall health and skin health. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that can prevent and treat something called free radical damage.
Free radicals are generated in the body either due to pollution or as a result of metabolizing foods that are high in harmful fats and sugars. These radicals then go on to disturb other healthy cells in the body, causing chronic damage such as premature aging and wrinkles.
Glutathione acts on these radicals and neutralizes them, so your skin can stay young and fresh, without the lines and wrinkles.
Besides glutathione, the Perfect Derma Peel contains retinoic acid (used widely to treat acne and to repair skin damage), Vitamin C (another potent skin health antioxidant), phenol, kojic acid, TCA, and salicylic acid. Kojic acid is known to step up natural elastin and collagen production in the skin to maintain the skin texture, while TCA and salicylic acid brighten the skin and reduce inflammation.
How Does the Peel Work?
The peel works by exfoliating and removing the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. Fresh and healthy skin cells grow back, giving the patient visibly younger-looking skin.
The peel takes about 15 minutes to apply and does not require any prior extensive preparation. During the application process, a chemical solution is spread onto the skin’s surface, where it is left to permeate the layers of the skin. After a time, the solution is removed.
The skin begins to peel after the application and continues to peel for six to seven days. You may be asked to avoid heavy exercise and limit sun exposure before and immediately after the application and also during the peeling process.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Recovery takes four weeks, after which the next session for the chemical peel application can be scheduled. Usually, between two to four treatments are required to achieve best results and to maintain youthful, healthy skin. Although make-up cannot be worn on the day the peel is applied, you can start to wear it after the second day.
