Summer is here and with that comes the warm weather and long sunny days. A great way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin after your summer vacation is with a chemical peel. A chemical peel is one of the best ways to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin on the face. The Perfect Peel will undo any damage from the summer sun as well as treat other skin conditions such acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
How Does the Sun Damage the Skin?
The sun’s rays can really take a toll on the skin, especially on the face. In fact, up to 80 percent of visible aging is caused by exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. People that spend a lot of time in the sun may find that their skin ages faster than expected as the sun prematurely ages the skin, which is known as photoaging. This happens when ultraviolet light (UV) hits the skin which is not protected by sunscreen and causes the DNA to change at a cellular level. Because damage from the sun happens in the dermis, the deepest layers of the skin, it can take years before the damage becomes visible.
Once the damage does become visible, skin can look dull, wrinkled, or discolored. Those fine lines and darker spots are most likely caused by damage from the sun, which only get worse with time.
What Happens to Skin with Sun Damage?
Hyperpigmentation, or the darkening of the skin, is often caused by an excess production of melanin, which is a pigment that gives skin its color. Several different factors can alter the production of melanin in your body, including exposure to the sun. Signs of sun damage can include hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, broken capillaries, or uneven skin tone. These unwanted signs of sun damage, particularly on the face, can be improved with a chemical peel.
The Perfect Peel Improves Signs of Sun Damage
The Perfect Peel is an effective way to reverse some of the damage that is caused by the sun. Keep in mind that you should stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen so it is best to do the Perfect Peel when you will no longer be in the sun. The Perfect Peel is the only peel that includes glutathione as a component to repair and nourish the skin.
Glutathione is a powerful peptide that is often used as a brightener, which also reduces the inflammatory reactions in cells. The peel also contains a blend of other ingredients to fight the signs of sun damage such as:
- Salicylic acid
- Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
- Retinoic acid
- Kojic acid
- Phenol
- Vitamin C
TCA and retinoic acid have anti-aging effects that reduce the fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun exposure while salicylic acid, kojic acid, and vitamin C even skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation for a brighter complexion. These ingredients work together to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
After the peel, skin is refreshed and glowing that looks younger because of the elimination of skin hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne marks that have darkened in the sun. Other improvements include improved tone and tightness in the skin. The improvement in these conditions leaves the skin looking younger. Because this peel is strong and effective, an improvement from the leftover effects from the sun will be visible in just one treatment. Most patients see an immediate reduction in dullness and benefit from a smoother complexion.
