Revitalize Your Skin with Chemical Peels at AK Clinic in Carlow

What Is A Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin clinic’s procedure that aims to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, especially the face. The way this skin beautifying and rejuvenating treatment works is quite simple: when a chemical solution such as salicylic or glycolic acid or a TCA chemical peel is applied, the skin begins to “blister” and eventually peels off, allowing new skin cells to grow.

The benefit of receiving a series of peels is that this treatment will be able to target the deeper layers of the epidermis, giving your skin enhanced exfoliation. This type of deep exfoliation can stimulate cellular turnover, resulting in the production of healthy, glowing skin.

What Are The Benefits of Chemical Peels?

There are many benefits to receiving a chemical peel. Not only do chemical peels reveal a brighter, smoother, and more refined complexion, but they also improve the overall look and feel of the skin in just one treatment. Other benefits of receiving a chemical peel include:

Improving the skin’s color, clarity, tone, and texture.
Stimulating new collagen and healthy skin cell growth, resulting in a radiant complexion.
Reducing discoloration caused by sun damage
Helping to clear up breakouts
Smoothing away the look of fine lines and wrinkles
Increasing the hydration of the skin
Addressing visible skin imperfections and superficial scars

What Are The Contraindications For Chemical Peels?

Active bacterial, viral, fungal, or herpetic infection.
Open wounds.
History of drugs with photosensitizing potential.
Preexisting inflammatory dermatoses (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pemphigus)
Facial cancers, especially facial melanoma.

What Should I Do After a Chemical Peel?

Avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for 24–48 hours.
Avoid massages until the next day.
Do not wear makeup until the next day.
Treat skin gently by washing with a gentle cleanser and cool water, using hands only, and patting dry no earlier than 4 hours after peeling; it is best to wait until the next morning.
Follow the post-peel instruction sheet with the products.
Avoid sun exposure and use a minimum of SPF 30 daily and every 2 hours if outdoors.
