All About Chemical Peels in La Mesa CA

Women are tempted to cover up all our facial skin blemishes with make-up, but there is a limit to how much coverage that can achieve. Any dermatologist in La Mesa CA will tell you that the secret to beautiful skin is not covering up but peeling away. This is because the skin renews itself every day and the old, dead skin cells accumulate at the topmost layer of the epidermis. If these cells are not removed regularly, the skin pores become clogged, paving the way for bacterial infection. As cleansing is essential for beautifying the skin, medical experts have come up with various chemical peels that achieve optimal exfoliation.

What are chemical peels?

These peels, when applied to the face, will make the skin blister, and the old skin will fall off. The new skin will be younger looking and smoother to the touch. Peels can be used on the hands, face and neck to great effect. 
What are the results they provide?

  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and under the eyes
  • Reducing the effects of sun damage 
  • Improving the appearance of mild (not deep) scars
  • Treating mild acne
  • Reducing age spots and the temporary skin darkening that happens during pregnancy or through use of birth control pills
  • Making the skin look radiant and soft

How should skin be cared for after the procedure?

As the skin is sensitive after treatment, you should not apply make-up or any other beauty creams for a few days. Failure to do so may cause irritation. The only cream that you should apply is sunscreen as the new skin needs to be protected from harmful rays. A broad-spectrum physical sunblock of over 30 SPF should work well for this purpose. The other alternative is to avoid going out in the sun altogether for a few weeks.
