In this article Chemical Skin Peels Sheffield Demystified we aim to to give you the reader more information on exactly what a chemical peel is, and what you can expect from a visit to the clinic. Be sure to have a full consultation with our aesthetician Esther before you have this procedure.
Chemical peeling, or chemexfoliation, has been used for centuries to improve signs of ultraviolet light–induced sun damage. The ancient Egyptians used sour milk containing lactic acid, and AHA commonly used today. Over the last 30 years, the science behind chemical peeling has evolved, increasing our understanding of the role of peeling ingredients and treatment indications. The depth of peels is directly related to improved results and to the number of complications that can occur.
Here is a short explanatory video to show you just what happens in a chemical skin peel.
What are the best at home and salon chemical peels for wrinkles?
There are effective skin peels that you can use at home to reduce all kind of skin imperfections such as brown spots, aging skin, hyper-pigmentation, wrinkles and acne scars, but they are rather weaker than professional peels.
The results of home peels are less dramatic as a result than those you can get from your dermatologist or aesthetician. If you are after a more dramatic result is best to go to a professional who will use a higher strength solution.
Facial peels consist in peeling the skin’s top layers with a chemical solution to reveal new and smoother skin underneath.
They can treat several skin conditions depending on their strength.
