Many people experience unwanted wrinkles and other skin changes as they age. These skin issues can keep you from looking as young and vibrant as you really are. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward way to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. At Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre in Columbus, OH, we offer chemical peels that can provide you with glowing, youthful-looking skin.
Chemical peels offer a way to return to the glowing skin of youth. People are born with smooth, vibrant skin. However, as you age, your skin is exposed to several damaging elements. In particular, wind, sun, and toxins in the air can all harm your skin. Further, aging will alter the skin’s epidermal, dermal, and subcutaneous layers. These changes may cause your skin to look dull and coarse, even if you eat a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. You may also experience hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, laxity, and other skin issues.
Cells play an important role in the appearance of your skin. Your skin renews itself by producing new cells. This process is always going on, and cells are regularly formed in the deeper layers of your skin. As these cells are created, they push your old cells to the top layer of your skin. Normally, these old cells will flake off as you go about your day.
Sometimes these cells do not flake off as quickly as they should. Aging, sun exposure, and your environment can all make sizeable amounts of old cells gather on the upper layer of your skin. As these cells collect on your skin, the material that holds them together will become stronger.
An excess amount of these dead skin cells can cause your skin to look dull, coarse, and wrinkled. These dead cells can cause other negative changes in a person’s appearance. In particular, pigment cells will cluster together. This process can make people have uneven pigmentation. It can also cause small spider veins to be visible on the surface of the skin. These effects can make a person look older than they really are.
Skin resurfacing treatments are a wonderful way to address the negative effects of aging and sun damage. These treatments can also help people with a wide variety of other skin issues and conditions.
Many people notice that their skin becomes lax and develops cellulite as they age. This is because weakened collagen and elastin fibers can cause the skin to lose firmness and create cellulite. Skin resurfacing may target these issues by improving your skin’s tone.
Wrinkles are one of the most common skin issues. Skin resurfacing can address dynamic wrinkles. These are lines that become more prominent when you make an expression or move. These treatments can also improve the appearance of static wrinkles that are always visible on your skin.
Although time in the sun can be enjoyable, it’s not very good for your skin. Over time, sun exposure can cause you to develop melasma, sun spots, and freckles. You may also notice other dark patches of skin on your face and body. Skin resurfacing treatments can target these effects of sun damage.
Vascular lesions are blood vessels that can be seen on your skin’s surface. These lesions can make you look like you are always flushing and red. They may also look like small blisters that are filled with blood. Resurfacing treatments reduce the prominence of these vascular conditions.
Many people have experienced injuries or acne that has caused their skin to become scarred. Scars can be discolored and pitted. They may also make the skin appear wavy or raised. Resurfacing treatments can be an excellent way to improve the appearance of scars.
Skin resurfacing treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. Different treatments have different results. That said, you may notice glowing, younger-looking skin after receiving a single treatment. Your treatment sessions may also give you smoother, tighter skin. The color and clarity of your skin may also improve.
Skin resurfacing treatments improve the vibrancy and texture of your skin. These treatments use chemical agents to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. Exfoliation is another name for the removal of your dead skin cells. The exfoliation progress will cause your skin to produce new collagen. This increased collagen production will make your skin smoother and tighter. Your new skin will feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
Skincare products can help you exfoliate and renew your skin. These products work by disrupting the glue that holds your dead skin cells together. Many products can achieve these results. That said, these products often produce minimal results when compared to chemical peels. Further, it often takes three to four months for these products to improve your skin. This means that using skincare products will not allow you to achieve the significant, positive results of skin resurfacing treatments.
Skin resurfacing treatments can significantly improve the texture and tightness of your skin. Peels are a wonderful option for people who are dissatisfied with the results of skincare products.
The chemical agents that we apply to your skin come in a variety of strengths. This means that your peel can be light, medium, or deep. Lighter peels target the outer layer of your skin, while stronger peels impact deeper layers of your skin. Deeper peels can create more dramatic improvements in your appearance, while lighter peels are gentle and easy on your skin. The wide variety of skin resurfacing treatments allows people to select the perfect treatment for them.
A light peel is a wonderful option for people who are looking for a gentle, comfortable way to renew their skin. Since this treatment has no recovery time, it is perfect for busy people who don’t want to interrupt their schedules.
A light peel will use a chemical agent to renew your skin. Many light peels use salicylic acid. This gentle chemical agent will penetrate your outer epidermis. This process will exfoliate your skin.
A light peel takes about thirty minutes. You may notice slight flaking after you receive your treatment. There is no recovery time, and you can immediately return to your typical schedule. Many people experience the best results when they receive a series of three light peels. You can also combine this treatment with facials or microdermabrasion to more dramatically enhance your skin.
The effects of light peels are often similar to the results of microdermabrasion treatments. After one treatment, your skin will be bright and glowing. After three treatments, you will have slightly tighter skin. Your skin will also have better color, clarity, and texture. Depending on the number of treatments you receive, your results may last for weeks or months.
Medium peels provide the best of both worlds. These peels are ideal for people who want a stronger treatment that doesn’t require them to interrupt their schedules for a lengthy period.
A medium peel will penetrate deeper than a light peel. This peel exfoliates your outer epidermis and the top layers of your dermis. This process will help your skin make new collagen. Your renewed skin will be tighter and smoother.
A medium peel will take about thirty minutes. You should schedule three treatments over a three-month period to see optimal results. You will need three to five days to recover after receiving each treatment.
You don’t have to wait long to see results! A single medium peel will give you glowing, youthful-looking skin. Multiple peels can slightly improve your skin’s tightness. You will also see improvements in your skin’s clarity, color, and texture. These positive results may last for months to a year, depending on the number of treatments you receive.
Deep peels are perfect for people who would like to see dramatic changes in their skin’s texture and appearance. These powerful treatments will penetrate deep into your skin, allowing you to experience significant results after a single skin resurfacing session.
Deep peels are the most powerful type of skin resurfacing treatment. We may use a 35% trichloroacetic acid chemical agent to promote the exfoliation process. This powerful chemical agent will exfoliate your outer epidermis and the top layers of your dermis. This agent will encourage your skin to make new collagen, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.
A deep peel has a powerful effect on your skin. You should plan on seven to ten days of recovery time after your thirty-minute treatment. That said, many people can resume applying makeup and return to their daily routine after seven days. This time will allow your skin to rejuvenate and renew itself.
Skincare products can help you achieve the full effect of your deep peel. We will give you specific instructions about what products to use throughout the treatment process. Following this routine will help your skin recover from your treatment. These products will also enable you to experience more significant improvements in your skin.
A deep peel is a wonderful way to achieve a significant, lasting improvement in your skin’s appearance. A deep peel can target laxity and dullness. After your treatment, your renewed skin will be smoother and tighter. Although individual results may vary, these effects usually last for one to two years. For optimal results, you should receive one deep peel each year.
You don’t have to be nervous about getting a skin resurfacing treatment. We will schedule a personalized consultation with you before your chemical treatment. During this consultation, we will examine your skin and talk about your skincare goals and desires. We will also discuss the benefits of light, medium, and dark peels in great depth. Our skincare professionals will use this information to develop a personalized plan that will allow you to improve your appearance in a safe, efficient manner.
Skin resurfacing treatments can return your skin to the glowing, healthy vibrancy of youth. To learn more about how chemical peels can help you, contact Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre in Columbus, Ohio for a consultation today.
