Among
different treatments in the esthetic industry; chemical peel is usually seen in
bad light. Many people try to avoid going through this treatment – Their fears
and apprehensions stems from the myths that are usually associated with the
word Chemical.
One
should always remember that it is just like any other advanced skin treatment,
which has its own risks and benefits.
If
done by some exceptionally well-trained professionals, the benefit of the
treatment overshadows the risks.
There
are numerous misconceptions associated with Chemical
Peels at Virginia Beach and so it is really important to decipher the
myths to understand whether this treatment will benefit you or not.
Myth
#1
Chemical
peels requires a hell lot of downtime
Truth
People
usually link chemical peels with badly burned skin and sheets of falling skin. It
is generally occurs due to use of chemical peels most commonly known as phenol.
However, nowadays they are not used often, instead these days laser treatments
are applied which provides deep resurfacing of the skin with almost zero side
effects and lesser downtime.
Moreover,
there are different types of peels available – Some of them are very mild which
suits sensitive skin and have no seemingly visible exfoliation or downtime. Other
are the deeper ones which are comparatively stronger and can leave a visible sign
of peeling and some degree of redness.
Myth
#2
Chemical
peels can be even done at home
Truth
No,
just because some peels are easily available on-line or at the local drug
store, it does not mean that you can and should perform it on your own at home.
Being
untrained, one cannot realize the amount of peel to be used and apparently end
up with disastrous results that would make you regret.
You
may cause some serious and irreparable damage to the skin, which includes
problems like hyper or hypo-pigmentation and even scarring.
Remember,
the peels whether they are mild or deep, they should only be performed by some medical
professionals or qualified estheticians. The treatment is not just applying the
peel, it has to be followe4d by a medical procedure.
Myth
#3
Chemical
peel is a one-time process
Truth
It
is true that the peels usually repair noticeable damage which appears on the
surface of the skin, but they are not effective when it comes to repairing of the
irreversible damage caused due to sun or other factors associated with aging.
Getting
the treatment once gives very obvious results to the skin, but it requires to
be done on a consistent basis to see the best outcome.
It
more or less depends on the amount of damage on the skin; you may require several
treatments. Most importantly, one also needs to take care of the treated skin to
ensure the results last for a longer time.
