If you've been exploring skincare treatments, you've probably heard of chemical peels, ranging from deep to superficial. But what exactly is a superficial peel, and why is it one of the most popular options for those seeking radiant, healthy skin? Let's delve into the details.
Understanding superficial peels
Superficial peels are high-quality acid combinations to target skin concerns such as acne and premature signs of aging by penetrating only the uppermost layer of the epidermis.
It is a treatment that acts as an exfoliator by removing dead skin cells, which promotes the production of softer, smoother, more beautiful new skin. Dermaceutic offers a wide range of cosmeceuticals and professional peels to care for your skin on a daily basis.
Depending on the type of pigmentary imperfection to be treated, you can choose from several superficial peels. Their application must be performed by a skin professional or dermatologist only to ensure safety and efficacy.
How do superficial peels work?
Superficial peels contain exfoliating acids that break down the bonds holding dead skin cells together. When these cells are removed, the skin appears smoother and more radiant. Glycolic acid, for example, is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane that helps to boost cell turnover by removing the dead cells that dull your complexion. Salicylic acid, on the other hand, is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that penetrates into pores, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.
Who can benefit from a superficial peel?
Superficial peels are suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. They are particularly effective for:
- Mild acne: Superficial peels help unclog pores and reduce breakouts by exfoliating the upper layer of the skin, removing impurities, and controlling sebum production.
- Dull complexion: These peels provide a brightening effect, making them a great option for those looking to restore a healthy glow.
- Fine lines and minor wrinkles: By boosting collagen production, superficial peels can help reduce the appearance of early signs of aging like fine lines.
- Uneven skin tone: The exfoliating properties help to homogenize the complexion, minimizing the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation and sunspots.
Dermaceutic's superficial peels, such as the Milk Peel, are particularly effective for treating mild to moderate acne, superficial pigmented lesions, and even conditions like keratosis pilaris. These treatments not only boost collagen production but also help with skin renewal, making the skin look more even.
