THE DEADLY CHEMICAL PEELS………….

I’m here to give you the facts and explain those myths out their, chemical peels are not what they used to be and what was done back in the 60’s and 70’s I assure you is done very differently now.

This blog is here to give you essential knowledge and information about chemical peels and to separate the myths from the facts.

Chemical peels myths and facts

MYTHS

• Chemical peels are extremely painful and burn……….. MYTH

You will feel a warm sensation and tingling during the procedure, it shouldn’t feel like its on fire and burning.

• You will be able to peel off the top layer of skin within the week……….,MYTH

Your skin will renew its self and shed those outer layers in 3-7day. It will be flaky and a little dry but will not peel off like a second skin.

The longer you leave your skin without makeup the better however I understand a lot of clients find this impossible. The great news is you can apply after an hour preferable using a mineral makeup.

Unfortunately, not, skin health care is like going to the gym. You can’t go the once and expect to see all you skin hang ups diminish. You have to put in the commitment and time to make those changes possible.

Chemical peel programmes are individually tailored to suit you. Therefor all skins concerns can be treatment with a specific chemical peel programme and skincare regime.

• Chemical peels are bad for you…………..MYTH

The word ‘chemical’ does sound scary I know, but the treatment shouldn’t be feared. Chemical peels are completely safe when carried out by a knowledgeably and qualified practitioner. Many peels contain acids that are derived from fruits, nuts and other natural products. For example:

mandelic-acid is derived from bitter almonds,

Salycylic acid is derived from the bark of willow trees

Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane.

FACTS

• Even the mildest peels stimulate the skin to improve skin renewal and collagen production.
• A medium depth peel has the same acid levels as lemon and lime juice.
• A mild peel has the same acid levels as strawberries.
• You will get superficial flaking 3-7days after a procedure.
• The chemical peel is only left on the skin for 6-10minutes depending on the skin type.
• A one-off chemical peel will cost around £60
• A course of 3-6 treatments is what is recommended for you to achieve your desired results.
• Specialist homecare prescribed by your technician will improve the chemical peel results.
• Deep peels like Phenol and TCA peels can kill melanocytes and cause a lot of trauma. These are not commonly used anymore due to the side effects.
• Treatments can be sensitive and a sensation of heat is experienced throughout the procedure.
