The human body’s tissue can heal itself relatively quickly. Although it may take a week or two for the topmost layer of old skin to peel and remove itself, you can expect to see results from your chemical peel immediately after this process finishes.
The benefits of a chemical peel in Nashville go beyond your facial appearance. Not only is this method useful to remove stretch marks or lighten up localized areas of the body, but many people also report an increase in their overall confidence levels after receiving it.
Your provider will give you detailed post-treatment care recommendations, but we advise you to limit sun exposure and avoid hot water, makeup, and other facial treatments.
Do not touch or pick at your skin as it heals, and ask your provider which skincare products you can apply to it.
Although the treatment is incredibly beneficial in maintaining your skin’s overall health, consider its recovery time when choosing it as an option. A chemical peel often agitates your skin for up to 2 weeks, causing redness, scabbing, and possibly swelling.
Technically, a chemical peel uses a controlled-damage process, but that does not mean it is bad for your skin. This is because your old, damaged skin is removed, making room for new, healthy skin to take its place.
We would love to treat everyone with a chemical peel in Nashville, but sometimes, the treatment is not safe for those suffering from certain skin conditions. This may include pre-existing inflammatory lesions of the skin or people who have a history of abnormal scarring.
Different chemical peels reach a certain level of your skin’s depth; we often refer to this as a light, medium, or deep peel. Each level targets different severities of damage or re-growth, which results in varying recovery times and duration of results.
These two treatments are often used to treat similar conditions, but one can work better than the other, depending on the person. Chemical peels are typically used to treat conditions on the topmost layer of skin, while microneedling might treat things like rosacea, hyperpigmentation, or sagging skin.
