Is your skin making you self-conscious? Are you constantly covering up imperfections? If so, you might be interested in a chemical peel. Your experienced dermatologists Dr. Aman Sandhu, and Dr. Diem Pham can help transform your skin at Sand Dermatology in Chino Hills, CA.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is an effective cosmetic treatment that can reduce the look of scarring, fine lines, sun spots, and other skin issues. It works by peeling off the top layer of skin which is the layer that is most exposed to the elements. Underneath it is a beautiful layer of healthy skin. This procedure can be performed on several areas like the face, neck, and hands. It is cost-effective and can be done in less than an hour so you don’t have to take time away from your schedule.
How is the Chemical Peel performed?
Your dermatologist might use a numbing cream before starting the procedure, but most patients do not need any pain relief. To prepare, your hair and eyes will both be covered to protect them. Next, the chemical solution is applied to the skin and you will start to feel the effects of the peel. You will feel a tingling sensation or light sting while the solution is removing the top layer of skin. When you are done, your doctor washes the treated area to remove the chemical solution.
Your Results and Aftercare
You will temporarily experience some redness, swelling, peeling, or irritation. Avoid picking at the skin or scratching while you heal. You will also be sensitive to sunlight for a while so make sure to use sunscreen before going outside. After the chemical peel, you will see smoother skin and a reduction of the skin imperfections giving you a youthful glow. To maintain your results for as long as possible remember to moisturize.
