Summertime Chemical Peels
Professional strength chemical peels assist in removing dead layers of damaged skin cells, improving texture revealing a healthier, glowing, fresh skin. It’s great for all ages and all skin types and conditions.
Some patients take advantage of the summer because they can afford downtime for more serious peel procedures. It will depend on the patient’s lifestyle, but a glycolic acid peel, or salicylic acid peel are lighter in concentration and there’s pretty much NO downtime. The lighter peels have great anti-aging benefits, however the results are not as effective as stronger chemical peels.
Regardless of what type of chemical peels SPF is a must. Then the other aspect to consider is sun damage. It would make no sense to perform a chemical peel on a patient that’s going to be severely exposed to the sun. So the best approach would be to get a Glycolic or Salicylic acid peel on a Monday or Tuesday – By the time the weekend approaches the skin would be back to normal and not so sensitive to the sun.
The medium depth peels like Jessner peel or TCA are great because they deliver amazing results with very minimal downtime if a patient is coming in with a specific concern in mind – like sun damage or anti-aging. If a patient gets chemical peels on a regular basis or is on a Retin-A program they can enjoy the benefits of a lighter peel.
There’s no downtime associated with light peels. With medium peels, there is more of a social downtime. There will be flaking/ peeling for about two days. During that time, you can use moisturizer and SPF to help calm the skin. Results will vary from patient to patient based on your skin condition, and how many layers of the treatment have been applied.
A light chemical peel can be done on a Monday for a Friday event, for example. The medium depth peels I would say one week. By ten days your skin will look fresh and at its best. Most patients are taking care of their skin in some level so the chemical peel is a professional cleaning that you can’t do yourself at home. Now the only exception would be if someone has had serious sun damage and/or is looking for a serious peel to address many conditions of the skin at once. For that patient, you need about one month.
