Are Chemical Peels Save?

Let us be honest! Most of us are looking for a quick and effective way to rejuvenate our appearance. Luckily, the specialist team at Miami Plastic Surgery offers several skin rejuvenation processes, including Dermapen and chemical peels:

Dermapen

Dermapen (micro-needling), is a process of creating controlled “damage” to the skin through the use of tiny needles that are attached to a hand-held device. It affects the area below the skin’s surface to heal and rebuild tightness and elasticity by increasing natural collagen production and expediting the regeneration of new skin; producing healthier skin and a younger appearance.

One of the major benefits of micro-needling is the fact that there is no extensive skin peeling to deal with and recovery times are short. Micro-needling can be used to treat the face and other, select body areas.

Chemical peels are also based on the concept of creating controlled skin “damage”. It removes the dead skin, which stimulates natural, regenerative skin processes and collagen production. This results in new, healthy skin growth, providing a younger look.

Although chemical peels tend to have longer recovery times than Dermapen treatments, they may be more effective in treating deep, pitted acne scars.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels may be regarded as the elixir of youth by patients who have reaped the benefits of treatment by a skilled aesthetician. Typically, a chemical peel will reveal a youthful, vibrant appearance to a previously wrinkled, sun-damaged and blotchy skin.

With most chemical peels adverse reactions are rare. Adverse reactions following a mild to medium peel may include:

– Scarring
– Numbness
– Infection
– Mild irritation
– Redness
– Peeling

These side effects will usually last for only a few days.

Do Chemical Peels Hurt?

Pain is an individual experience. Generally, however, chemical peels do not hurt. You may experience a little tingling, tightness, or a change in temperature.

While you should not feel pain during or after the procedure, slight increased sensitivity may be experienced after. To avoid irritation or discomfort on your newly resurfaced skin, adhere to the following advice:

– Do not exfoliate for 48 hours after your chemical peel, and
– Steer clear of the gym for 24 hours after the procedure,
