Age Spots are not Beauty Marks

By Elen Hanszen


The older we get, the more that wrinkles and lines begin to appear and gain prominence, age spots can occur, and we would like to return to our younger, nicer looking skin. Many people can lose their self confidence once they start seeing the first signs of aging. If you too are worried about your skin condition and are looking for a reliable way to restore your skin then a skin peel could be your solution.

A remedy that has a significant effect in order to revive a more youthful skin appearance is a chemical skin peel. The prominence of wrinkles and lines on the face are less pronounced after a chemical peel. Fresher skin will be revealed underneath the peel, getting rid of dead cells and making skin look fresher and cleaner and of course, it will help make wrinkles less significant.

If you have blemishes on your skin such as large freckles, age spots or liver spots, the use of a reliable and effective skin peel will help to reduce the appearance of these spots. Softer, smoother looking skin will result after a patient goes through the process of getting a chemical peel. Acne can be a serious issue for some people, so a professional chemical skin peel; inflammation will be reduced, and acne will be less prominent.

Chemical peels are a one day process, with options for touch ups, but a product for skin like a cream or lotion will have to be used for a long period of time, with multiple daily usage required. Many plastic surgery solutions are permanent and more invasive for the patient, and a peel is nowhere close to that level. The length and resulting look of a procedure like a chemical peel will be a much more noticeable effect than a simple beauty cream that claims to increase collagen levels.

A peel does what it sounds like; the outermost layers of facial skin are peeled away, promoting new skin growth, and showing the fresher, newer looking skin on top. Because the re-grown skin is new it has a fresh, bright, tight appearance and fewer blemishes or wrinkles.

During the whole process and pre and post procedure, there is no need for pain management because a chemical peel does not cause pain to patients. For many, six superficial chemical peels are optimal, every week or 2, until the desired effect is achieved. Risks are decreased with repeated more superficial peels. For a few days after a skin peel, the side effects are still noticeable. Although rare, hyperpigmentation has been known to be a side effect, and skin in some cases will appear to have a colour change. If you have a deep peel then it may actually inhibit the skin's pigmenting ability.

To make the skin heal more speedily following the procedure, a patient should clean the skin often and moisturize, this will promote healing and stop infections or rashes. Often a doctor will recommended applying sunscreen daily prior to the procedure.
