Chemical Peels
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production. By applying a safe, medical-grade solution to the skin, the outer layers gently peel away, revealing fresh, renewed skin beneath.
The Science Behind Chemical Peels
Chemical peels work by using a carefully formulated solution of acids to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This controlled injury to the skin encourages cellular turnover and collagen production, leading to a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Chemical peels use exfoliating acids to break the bonds between dead skin cells and encourage shedding of the outermost layer. The process activates the skin’s natural regeneration cycle, leading to the production of fresh, healthy skin cells.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a range of skin-enhancing benefits by accelerating cell turnover, stimulating collagen production, and deeply exfoliating the skin. Here’s how they specifically address various skin concerns:
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and minimizing the appearance of fine lines.
Improves Skin Texture & Tone – Exfoliates rough, uneven skin, revealing a smoother and more even complexion.
Diminishes Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation – Breaks down dark spots and scars while promoting new, healthy skin cell growth.
Unclogs Pores & Reduces Breakouts – Removes excess oil and dead skin, helping to prevent acne and reduce blackheads.
Enhances Radiance & Smoothness – Increases hydration and circulation, leaving skin looking fresh, glowing, and rejuvenated.
What to Expect
During your treatment, a solution is applied to your skin and left for a specific amount of time, depending on the intensity of the peel. You may experience mild tingling, followed by light peeling or flaking over the next few days. Full results are visible once the skin has healed, typically within one to two weeks.
Chemical peels are a scientifically backed, highly effective skincare treatment that addresses multiple concerns, from aging and acne to dullness and discoloration. By choosing the right type of peel for your skin, you can achieve long-lasting improvements in both appearance and skin health.
The Polished Beauty Difference
The Skin Renewal Process
Once the peel is applied, the acids lower the skin’s pH level, disrupting the bonds between dead skin cells. The skin then undergoes a controlled healing response, which includes:
- Exfoliation and Shedding: Old skin cells slough off, revealing fresh skin underneath.
- Cellular Regeneration: New skin cells replace the old ones, leading to improved texture and tone.
- Collagen and Elastin Production: Deeper peels stimulate fibroblast activity, promoting firmer, more resilient skin over time.
