What is Chemical Peeling?
Normally, we all prefer cosmetic facials to add glow and shine on our face. We prefer visiting the best beautician in the town to get the best look and radiance back on our face. But, frankly speaking, these beauticians use cosmetics to your facials. Though, the effects are visible instantly, but, in the long run, these ordinary creams and facials give only superficial effects.
The thorough cleaning of skin from inside needs the help of Dermatologists. Chemical Peeling is one of those procedures prescribed by Dermatologists to cure the scars, wrinkles and blemishes permanently. Chemical peels are meant for the removal of the outermost layers of the skin, to regrow the fresh new flawless baby-skin. Eventually, the dead skin peels off resulting in a wound, the healing processes and regeneration of new tissues begin where you can see this regenerated new skin is less wrinkled and usually smoother than the old skin.
Peels are very effective in treating ageing, sun damage, acne, mild scarring, improving skin brightness, and evening skin tone. Peels can be light, moderate or deep. Light peels require less time from work and your normal activities. Moderate peels require a day or two, and deep peels require a week or more of downtime to allow the skin to fully heal.
