Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed dullness to your skin? Maybe it just doesn’t look as bright as it once did. Unfortunately as we get older our skin cells do not shed as quickly leaving a dull tired look to the surface of our skin. So how do we improve the appearance? Many over the counter products such as scrubs and buff puffs can offer quick solutions but may actually do more harm then good.A procedure we offer here at Florida Skin Center are superficial chemical peels to bring your skin “back to life.”

So what exactly are Chemical Peels? Sometime people here the word “chemical” and worry about scarring and looking unsightly for days and days, but rest assured our superficial peels are nothing like that. They are topically applied alpha-hydroxy acids or beta-hydroxy acids that create a uniform, controlled shedding of several layers of the dead dull skin. Once this dead skin sheds off new growth can occur, creating a fresh new vibrant appearance. There are different categorizes of peels out there some more intense then others. Since our peels are superficial, there is minimal down time. You will see slight flaking like that of a mild sun burn or flaky dry skin for a few days. A simple moisturizer can be used to help hydrate if needed.

What changes will I see in my skin? The first thing you will notice is softness. Once the rough skin has shed your skin is left feeling soft and bright. After a few treatments you will notice reduction in blotchy and uneven pigmentation, age spots, and freckling, helping your skin look a more even color and tone. They also greatly help with acne by keeping blackheads and whiteheads under control as well as acne scarring by softening their appearance. Chemical peels have such a wide rage of benefits and can be used on anyone. At Florida Skin Center we have two licenced aestheticians on staff who can tailor a chemical peel to your specific skin type and needs. If you have any questions please feel free to ask for Shanah or Danielle. To find out our latest chemical peel promotion please visit www.floridaskincenter.com
