Every person is unique. So it should come as no surprise that skin is also completely different and unique from person to person. Thus, it is ridiculous to assume that everyone's skin care regimen would be exactly the same. If you are thinking about having various beauty treatments done, it is important to keep your particular skin type in mind when settling on the right one. One treatment in which skin type is a critical factor is with chemical peels.
Chemical peels are a beauty treatment usually used to reduce signs of aging such as fine lines or sun spots by applying a chemical mixture to the face which typically removes the outermost thin layer of skin on the face. Much of this skin is comprised of dead skin cells that need to be removed anyways. After chemicals are done, the face can look much worse during the healing period. The face will likely be bright red and swollen. But if great care is taken to make sure that the healing goes off without a hitch, the results can be amazing. Skin can look not only younger but it may also have a certain "glowing" aura about it.
But while chemical peels can have great results when it comes to beauty, it is vital that you pick the correct one for you. Peels you may consider are:
• Phenol chemical peels-these are excellent for correcting blotchiness but it is not a great anti-aging solution for different skin types. These types of peels can also be too strong for those that have very sensitive skin.
• The trichloroacetic acid-these peels are not as severe as the phenol peels but they do work to smooth fine wrinkles and superficial blemishes. This one is a must for sensitive or dry skin. This peel is suited to a much wider range of skin types than that of phenol peel. This peel can be used on the face, neck and body to help lessen the appearance of stretch marks and other body blemishes. Before you go into get your tri peel, your physicians may recommend a pre-treatment plan involving Retin-A or alpha hydroxyl acid creams. This treatment is much lighter than other types of chemical peel treatments and can take as little as 15 minutes. The recovery period for this peel is also much less.
