Peeling
Peling is a type of cosmetic treatment aimed at rejuvenating and improving the skin’s appearance. Skin peeling employs the use of certain enzymes and acids in order to exfoliate the skin, revealing the fresher, clearer, and more youthful skin beneath the surface. By removing dead skin cells and minimising the appearance of open pores, skin peeling greatly improves the look of one’s skin.
Skin peeling or chemical peels are primarily used for treating wrinkles and lines, treating certain types of acne, improving the appearance of scars, and improving the general appearance and feel of skin. Peeling can also be used to diminish frekles, age spots, sun damage, and melasma (dark patches) caused by pregnancy or taking birth control pills.
What precautions should be taken before and after a peeling treatment?
- Before a peeling treatment, it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and discontinue certain skincare products. After the treatment, sun protection, gentle cleansing, and adherence to post-treatment care instructions are essential for optimal results and safety.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with peeling treatments?
- Potential risks include redness, swelling, peeling, and changes in pigmentation. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or scarring. Adhering to post-treatment care instructions and choosing a qualified professional help minimize risks.
How long does it take to see results from a peeling treatment?
- The time to see results varies based on the type of peel and individual skin response. Some individuals may notice improvements after a single session, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
