Understanding Medical-Grade Skin Peels
Medical-grade skin peels are advanced treatments that exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting collagen production for rejuvenated skin. We use Skinbetter Science products at Mayfair Wellness Clinic to ensure safe and customized treatments for your skin.
Key Benefits of Medical-Grade Skin Peels:
- Improved Skin Texture: Smooths rough or uneven skin for a soft complexion.
- Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful look.
- Even Skin Tone: Fades dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation for a balanced complexion.
- Acne Control: Improves acne-prone skin and reduces acne scars.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: Post-peel, your skin absorbs skincare products more effectively.
Conditions Chemical Peels Treat:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooths fine lines and wrinkles from sun damage and aging.
- Certain Types of Acne: Helps manage and improve acne-prone skin.
- Mild Scarring: Minimizes the appearance of light scars.
- Pigmentation Issues: Fades sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.
- Precancerous Spots: Treats actinic keratosis, which are scaly spots that may lead to skin cancer.
- Rough or Dull Skin: Smooths rough, scaly patches and revitalizes a dull complexion.
- Melasma: Reduces dark patches caused by pregnancy or hormonal changes, such as from birth control pills.
Types of Chemical Peels
The type of chemical peel you choose depends on your goals and the depth of treatment needed. Your dermatologist will guide you in selecting the most suitable option.
- Light Peel: Targets the outermost skin layer to improve fine wrinkles, acne, uneven coloring, or dry, rough skin. Recovery is quick, with little to no downtime, making it ideal for promoting a healthy glow.
- Medium Peel: Removes the outer and upper middle skin layers, addressing moderate discoloration, age spots, acne scars, and fine-to-moderate wrinkles. Recovery takes about a week and may involve some downtime.
- Deep Peel: Penetrates to the lower middle skin layer for dramatic results. It’s suitable for moderate wrinkles, deep acne scars, extensive sun damage, and precancerous growths. Recovery is longer and requires pretreatment, but it is a one-time treatment with significant downtime.
How to Prepare for Your Chemical Peel
To achieve the best results and minimize risks, follow these preparation steps:
- Avoid tanning and direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment.
- Use topical products, such as hydroquinone, as instructed to prepare your skin.
- Stop using retinoid products like tretinoin one to two weeks before your peel, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
- If prescribed antibiotics or antivirals, begin taking them at least 24 hours before the procedure.
- Ensure the treatment area is free of open sores, lesions, or skin infections.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel?
During a chemical peel at Mayfair Wellness Clinic, we use premium Skinbetter Science products to ensure optimal results. A specially formulated solution is applied to your skin, tailored to address your specific concerns.
You may experience a warm to mildly hot sensation lasting a few minutes, followed by a stinging feeling. To alleviate any discomfort, a cool compress may be applied. Once the solution has worked its magic, it is carefully neutralized or washed off, leaving your skin ready to renew and rejuvenate.
Our use of Skinbetter Science products ensures your treatment is both effective and gentle, delivering noticeable improvements in texture and tone.
