Chemical peels are among the most popular medical aesthetics treatments available at Her Secret MedSpa. If you live in or near Mamaroneck, New York, or Westchester County, you’re just moments away from the full range of today’s advanced aesthetic treatment options, including customizable chemical peels.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider giving a chemical peel a try.
Are you looking for a way to boost your skin’s radiance while also addressing a specific complexion concern? Chemical peels allow you to achieve multiple improvements with the same treatment.
Here are some of the issues that chemical peels can improve:
When you consider the ability to improve more than one issue with the same treatment, chemical peels offer a great value, as compared to coming in for multiple different treatments.
Certain medical conditions, medications, and treatments can make your skin highly sensitive to light. Known as photosensitivity, this can last a lifetime if you have a condition like lupus, rosacea, or psoriasis. Other people only experience light sensitivity while they’re taking certain prescription medications.
If you cannot tolerate light-based therapies like laser treatments or intense pulsed light (IPL), you might be wondering what your options are for improving the look and feel of your skin. Chemical peels are a wonderful fit because they don’t rely on any form of light therapy to achieve results.
Chemical peels work by using a carefully formulated chemical solution to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells, as well as any debris or impurities in those layers. You’re left with a layer of fresh, healthy cells.
Your body will also respond to a chemical peel with renewed cell development. Peels can “kick start” new skin cell production, giving your skin a healthy glow and a softer, smoother texture.
When you rely on the professionals at Her Secret MedSpa for treatment, you’ll always receive your practitioner’s full attention. A skin assessment and consultation is part of the process. As you share your treatment goals, your practitioner uses that information to create a customized chemical peel experience.
There are a number of different chemical solutions to choose from, and different levels of chemical peel intensity. If this is your first peel and you want to take a conservative approach, a lighter peel will give you a gorgeous glow without lingering side effects like redness and swelling.
On the other hand, if you’re already a chemical peel pro, there are deeper peels that offer more pronounced results. During your visit you’ll explore the options and decide on the type of peel that is best aligned with your goals.
Chemical peels are powerful, but they don’t come with the downtime or potential for serious side effects that many other treatments have. You can have a light peel during the day and resume normal activities immediately afterward.
If you choose a deeper peel, you’ll probably want to take it easy for a couple of days to give your skin a chance to recover. Deeper peels create noticeable skin peeling, and you’ll need to keep skin moisturized and out of the sun for a few days.
While some minimal redness, swelling, and skin sensitivity are normal in the hours after a chemical peel, you won’t have to go through significant discomfort, bleeding, or bruising. Because there are no needles or lasers involved, there is a very minimal risk of infection associated with chemical peels.
