Chemical Peels, Dermaplaning and other Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion resurface skin to improve skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation (dark spots), minimizes acne scar visibility, and promotes collagen production for firmer skin. One resurfaces skin through medical grade chemistry and the other using abrasion techniques. Your consultant will be able to tell you which is right for you!
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels and dermaplaning are both non-surgical cosmetic procedures that exfoliate the skin to improve its appearance:
Use a chemical solution to remove damaged skin layers. Chemical peels can treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, sun damage, wrinkles, and scarring. They can also improve skin tone and texture. Chemical peels come in different strengths, from light to deep.
What is Dermaplaning?
Uses a scalpel to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz. Dermaplaning can improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines, and brighten the complexion.
Some say that dermaplaning and chemical peels are most effective when combined. Dermaplaning before a chemical peel can help the chemical solution penetrate the skin more deeply and evenly. However, deep chemical peels should not be combined with dermaplaning because of the intensity of the procedure.
What do chemical peels and dermaplaning do?
Chemical peels and dermaplaning are both facial treatments that exfoliate the skin to improve its appearance. They can improve the appearance of acne, age spots, freckles, and dark patches.
Dermaplaning: Can reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, age spots, and hyperpigmentation.
• Chemical peels and dermaplaning can be combined to enhance the results of each treatment:
- • Deeper penetration: Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin, allowing chemical peels to penetrate more deeply and effectively.
- • Smoother skin: Dermaplaning removes rough areas, while chemical peels exfoliate more deeply to refine skin texture.
- • Even skin tone: Dermaplaning can help with uneven skin tone, while chemical peels can improve pigmentation issues.
- • Anti-aging effects: Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and combining it with a chemical peel can enhance these effects.
Light to medium chemical peels work best with dermaplaning, while deep chemical peels should not be combined. Deep chemical peels require a longer recovery time and are too intense to combine with dermaplaning.
What can I expect?
Dermaplaning first: A medical professional will use a sterile scalpel to gently glide over your skin, removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
Chemical peel application: Following the dermaplaning, the appropriate chemical peel solution will be applied to your skin based on your concerns.
Aftercare:
• Follow-up appointments: Consult your provider for recommended treatment intervals based on your skin type and desired results.
• Sun protection: Always wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your newly exfoliated skin.
• Gentle cleansing: Use a mild cleanser and avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants.
• Moisturizing: Apply a hydrating moisturizer regularly to support skin healing.
