Dry skin, acne, sun spots, or hyperpigmentation? Sun damage, or just a few wrinkles and fine lines? Are any of the mentioned skin issues robbing you of confidence, and you just want them gone? Well then, a Chemical Peel treatment is for you!

It can be so overwhelming dealing with skincare. Many skincare tips don't seem proven to help, or the products contain hidden harmful ingredients for your skin. You can do all the research, and a million subjects and suggestions pop up - often leading you back to the beginning. If this sounds like the circle you find yourself in, keep reading to find out how Chemical Peels can simplify this entire process and give you the benefits you are searching for.

Let's Talk Skin:

Acne is prevalent, and many find that it drains their self-confidence. There are unending stories about those who go through many products/procedures to get rid of their acne and end up with irritating results as they continue coming up short on something to work for them. Healthline.com discusses the benefits of chemical peels, which "break down comedones (plugged hair follicles), decrease oil production, kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and increase absorption of topical treatments'."  You heard that right, the secret to amazing skin results is proven to be found using chemical peels.

Although acne is prevalent, many people don't struggle with it. Maybe yours is dark spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, scarring, or sun damage. Whichever the issue may be for you, medical-grade chemical peels are highly beneficial in getting rid of these skin issues. Webmd.com backs this up and explains how Micropeels cause the skin to appear "smoother and less wrinkled" while improving its overall image.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses an acidic solution applied to the skin to remove damaged top layers, speed cell turnover, and boost collagen growth for a brighter, more even-toned complexion. By creating a controlled injury at a specific depth, chemical peels stimulate new skin growth to improve skin texture and appearance.

Peels can effectively treat issues like acne, acne scars, age spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, rough skin, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. Though primarily for the face, they can also be applied to the neck, chest, and hands.

How do I know a Chemical Peel is safe?

Plasticsurgery.org claims that "a chemical peel is usually a very safe procedure." A chemical peel is a safe and effective way of removing dry, dead build-up from the skin's surface. This is done mechanically via dermaplaning and chemically through lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids. Both processes are done in conjunction with each other to rejuvenate the skin's surface. At Alora Wellness and Spa, our Licensed Estheticians curate and personalize every peel to your skin type and condition.

Celebs Love Them, Too!

Don't just take it from us; we all know the "Friends" TV star, Jennifer Aniston, right? In 2016, CNN.com covered how she was named the most beautiful woman in the world, and although it's been a few years now, she is still one of the most iconic female forces today. Many people are stunned by how the 53-year-old can still be incredibly youthful. During an interview, Jennifer shared her secret on how she achieved her glow with the world. Stylecaster.com talks about where she revealed that she "indulges in chemical peels." These seem to be exceptionally popular and yield beautiful results. How does this happen? What is the real reason they help so many people? Could this be the secret you need to gain your confidence back?

How do Chemical Peels work?

At the start, healthy skin cells are round and plump. They become dry, dead, and flat as they work their way to the skin's surface. A build-up of these scaly cells can create the appearance of a shallow, unhealthy, wrinkled, dry, and flaking complexion. To more oily skin types, this build-up causes blemishes, acne, and blackheads or comedones. The 3-step process of dermaplaning, chemical application, and refining removes the dry, dead build-up and creates a beautiful, supple, and healthy complexion.

Medicalnewstoday.com takes an in-depth look at how the use of medical-grade chemical peels work. They say, "chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve using acids to exfoliate the skin. The acid removes a uniform amount of damaged skin cells across the treatment area. When done appropriately, this allows the skin to heal" and come back looking more smooth and youthful.

How many sessions will I need?

To transform your skin, you need to do 4-6 sessions and space them out every two weeks. To maintain your desired result, after your initial peel program, you will need to be seen every 4-6 weeks for maintenance peels.
