Age Spots are not Beauty Marks

By Elen Hanszen


The older we get, the more that wrinkles and lines begin to appear and gain prominence, age spots can occur, and we would like to return to our younger, nicer looking skin. As the signs of aging become more noticeable, a person can start to have less confidence in their appearance. When this becomes a major concern, a skin peel is a possible answer to this, and for some, it is the best option.

Chemical skin peels are a simple and effective way to restore your skin's natural beauty. Chemical peels will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. Skin peels can remove the dead cells on your skins top layer which can appear as rough skin to reveal more radiant skin which is free from very fine lines.

A skin peel will also help to reduce some other types of skin issues like liver or age spots and can reduce the prominence of freckles also. Your skin will become smooth and supple with the use of chemical peels giving you a younger look. Acne can be a serious issue for some people, so a professional chemical skin peel; inflammation will be reduced, and acne will be less prominent.

While something like a skin product can take weeks on end of constant usage to see results, a chemical peel is something that is over with in several sessions, or just a one time sitting. Also the procedures aren't as drastic, invasive and permanent as some plastic surgery techniques. Chemical peels are much more than subtle adjustments to skin moisture levels or promises to strengthen collagen like some over the counter creams offer.

A peel does what it sounds like; new cells are encouraged to grow as the rough layers and dead skin on the surface on your face are removed. As newer skin grows to replace the top layers, lines and blemishes will become more difficult to see underneath the fresh skin.

A superficial chemical peel is not painful and therefore no pain relief is needed before, during or after the procedure. It is usually recommended that a course of six peels is given one or two weeks apart, to get the best results from superficial chemical peels. A peel has very minimal risk when it is more superficial. The side effects of a superficial peel often last only a few days. In certain cases, skin can take on a slightly different colour after the process, and hyperpigmentation has been reported as well. The capacity for skin to produce pigment is sometimes affected after a deeper skin peel.

Maintenance is required for all kinds of skin peels afterwards, by using moisturizer, and frequent cleaning that will make skin heal faster and more smoothly, and prevent problems such as infection. Daily sunscreen usage is something that a doctor will typically suggest in many cases, leading up to the peel.
