Chemical?
Acid?
Peel?
“You are not putting that on my face”.
Rest assured, you need not be afraid of the terms as they are highly effective treatments that help to reverse and slow down the aging process. As people age, they’re unable to rid themselves of old skin cells as we could in our 20’s. The epidermis thickens and the skin loses elasticity leaving a dull and sometimes gray look to your skin.
When you have a chemical peel that contains acid the acid acts in a way to dissolve the glue between the dead skin cells so that thousands of unwanted, old, and damaged cells can be shed. Peels are not always a treatment that can be visible to the eye, rather it is a cumulative effect that triggers your skins’ renewal process. Not everyone will have a noticeable skin shedding phase. The amount of visible skin that you shed is not indicative one way or another of the effectiveness of the peel.
