The cause of acne, a skin condition that frustrates, saddens, and irritates all of us who have had it or have it, is when the hair follicles on your skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads form on the skin and affects the appearance of the skin. Acne can be an ongoing, persistent problem of people of all ages, but it is particularly common in teenagers and young adults.
Beyond causing you stress and distress, severe acne can scar the skin. Sometimes, varied treatments intended to make acne go away can also scar the skin, and exacerbate an existing acne condition.
There is a great deal of information online about the symptoms of acne but that’s not the topic of our article today. We are here to consider a form of treatment that is becoming more and more popular due to its low cost, safe and uncomplicated type of process, and incredible success rate in the treatment of acne scars.
A chemical peel is a non-surgical procedure in which an expert applies a solution to the top layer of skin to remove it. The skin then grows back, and grows back smoother than the outer layer that has been removed. There are different kinds and “levels” or “degrees” of chemical peel, based upon the need and the condition of the skin, as well as the type of skin the patient has. Chemical peels are not a “one size fits all” type of procedure, so it is important to go to a top, medically supervised provider like Southeast Regional Med Spa who have done thousands of successful chemical peels through the years.
A light chemical peel is the most superficial of all chemical peels, and removes the epidermis, our outermost layer of the skin. This type of peel can successfully treat wrinkles, skin blemishes or tone disparities, and acne or acne scars. Often a light chemical peel will need to be repeated more than once to get the desired effect on acne scars.
A medium chemical peel, which goes deeper than just the epidermis to the middle layer of your skin, can help even more, while a deep chemical peel, if a doctor recommends it, can completely eliminate deep wrinkles and deeper acne scars. A full effect of a deep chemical peel can be achieved through only one treatment, depending upon your individual circumstances.
