To help alleviate mild and moderate adult acne, chemical peels are a very good treatment. By exfoliating the skin, chemical peels take effect; this removes dead skin cells which have clogged the pores, and cleanses the skin of the dirt.
This reduces the formation of acne pimples and spots. In addition, chemical peels can take away some of the uneven skin tone and skin discolouration that acne causes.
For acne treatment, chemical peels are a very cost effective option. They are also a very safe treatment for acne.
Superficial chemical peels are applied to the affected areas to exfoliate and cleanse the top layers of the skin, removing the dead skin cells.
This type of peel generally only affects the epidermis. A superficial peel is the mildest type, and is the quickest to recover from. Diluted glycolic acid is most often employed for this purpose, but there are some techniques that use dry ice.
Superficial peels do not hurt your skin, you will just feel a slight tingling or stinging sensation, and have virtually no recovery time.
A course of peels is usually recommended, each performed at least one week apart.
This will result in a noticeable improvement in the skin texture and visibly reduce the amount of acne breakouts.
