Peeling Good
Good skin care is essential if you want to maintain your skin's health and glowing appearance for as long as possible. Chemical peels use an acid solution to exfoliate the skin, resulting in a cleaner, smoother complexion with fewer wrinkles and blemishes. At Face Forward Houston chemical peels provide an overall improvement to the skin and are an excellent alternative to conventional treatments for removing scars from acne and stretch marks. A customized chemical peel with a skilled nurse practitioner at Face Forward Houston is a good choice if you're experiencing aesthetic issues, including acne scars, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles, and so much more
Support Skin Health
A chemical peel is a treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to the face to enhance the look of the skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting cellular turnover. They are available in a range of intensities, some of which are more appropriate for certain skin types than others. Regardless of strength, a chemical peel will yield comprehensive benefits for the appearance of the skin.
For our patients in Houston chemical peels are customized for your needs and your schedule. If you have an important event coming up and want to look your best, we can ensure that your chemical peel has time to deliver full benefits and any post-procedure redness is cleared up before your big day. The nurse practitioners at Face Forward take care to provide the peel best suited to your skin type and your goals for treatment.
From Light to Medium
A light chemical peel (also dubbed a "superficial peel") is a safe and effective procedure for decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, scars, and other natural signs of aging. These peels use mild chemicals to remove the outermost layer of dead skin from the face in around 15 minutes to half an hour. Mild chemical peels often employ alpha hydroxyl acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or beta hydroxyl acids. Medium chemical peels are used to erase deeper acne scars, age spots, and other discolorations and smooth moderate wrinkles and creases. Recovery time can range from a few days to a few weeks after a chemical peel, depending on the level of the peel. Any chemical peel can help you with the following:
Better Skin on Your Schedule
During your consultation for a chemical peel Houston patients will be able to discuss their concerns about their skin and learn how a chemical peel can help. Your provider will then customize your chemical peel plan to ensure any downtime does not overlap with events where you want to look your best. Your chemical peel consultation is the time to ask questions, get advice, and figure out how to proceed with care to ensure the best results.
Younger-Looking Skin
Before we begin, your skin will be thoroughly cleaned. After that, we'll apply the peeling solution, carefully monitoring your skin’s reaction to the chemical. Then, when the peel has been neutralized, we'll wash the skin. With each consecutive treatment, your skin will get healthier, allowing us to extend the duration of the application and obtain even more outstanding results.
Dramatic Improvement
Depending on your treatment, peeling will range from mild flaking to heavy sheet flaking for up to a week. Keep out of the sun. For the next week, use only warm or lukewarm water on your skin; hot water should be avoided. You shouldn't work out just after getting a peel. Most patients are able to return to work right away or soon after their treatment. Your skin's texture will improve dramatically after only one treatment, and your complexion will become significantly more even. Three treatments spaced at least four weeks apart yield the best results. The duration of the effects following treatment varies from patient to patient and mainly depends on the patient's skin type.
In addition to the following guidelines, you will get complete post-treatment instructions from your provider:
You shouldn't take a shower for at least 12 hours after getting a chemical peel. In the short term, it's best to avoid getting any moisture on your skin.
Both the epidermis and the dermis are susceptible to chemical peels. The dermis lies immediately underneath the epidermis, the skin's outermost layer. A chemical peel will take off an even layer of the epidermis and promote new cell formation in the dermis.
