The Benefits of Skin Peels: What You Need to Know

Posted on Mar 07, 2023

If you're looking for a way to improve the appearance of your skin and achieve a brighter, smoother complexion, then a skin peel may be just what you need. At Sheffield Aesthetics & Laser Clinic, we offer a range of skin peel treatments to suit different skin types and concerns. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of skin peels and what you need to know before booking your appointment.

What is a skin peel?

A skin peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layer of dead skin cells to peel away. This reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. There are different types of skin peels available, ranging from mild to deep, depending on the strength of the chemical solution used.

What are the benefits of skin peels?

Brighter, smoother skin: A skin peel can help remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. This can improve the texture and tone of your skin, giving you a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Improved acne: Skin peels can help improve the appearance of acne-prone skin by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. They can also help fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: Skin peels can stimulate collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This can give your skin a more youthful, plump look.

Improved skin texture: Skin peels can help to improve the texture of your skin, making it feel softer and smoother. They can also reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines.

Safe and effective: Skin peels are a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your skin with minimal downtime. Our experienced therapists will work with you to choose the right type of peel for your skin type and concerns.

What should I expect during a skin peel treatment?

Before your skin peel treatment, our therapist will assess your skin and discuss your concerns with you. They will then choose the right type of peel for your skin type and concerns. The treatment itself involves applying the chemical solution to your skin, which may cause a tingling or burning sensation. This is normal and should subside after a few minutes.

After the treatment, your skin may feel slightly tight and dry, and you may experience some redness or peeling. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Our therapist will provide you with aftercare advice to help you care for your skin after your treatment.

How often should I have a skin peel?

The frequency of skin peels depends on your skin type and concerns. Some people may benefit from having a skin peel every few weeks, while others may only need one every few months. Our therapist will advise you on how often you should have a skin peel, based on your individual needs.
