As we age and our cell turnover slows, our skin can begin to lose its luminosity and smooth texture. And without that cell refresh, even a healthy, glowing complexion can begin to wrinkle and appear dull. Fortunately, a quick, facial peel can kick-start the cell renewal process and help you reclaim that healthy glow.
When it comes to aesthetic concerns – from sagging skin to deep lines, discolouration or scarring – there often isn’t a single magic bullet treatment. A chemical peel may be the best choice for age spots and sun damage, while a loss of facial volume from aging can best be fixed by a dermal filler. During your consultation, Dr. Kuzel will meet with you to discuss how complementary treatments can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
A Glycolic Peel uses glycolic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane, to treat the surface layer of the skin. The exfoliating acid penetrates the skin, accelerating cell turnover by dissolving the bonding proteins that hold onto the dead skin cells. Once the dead skin cells are sloughed away, fresh new cells are generated leaving you with glowing, radiant, smoother skin. Despite the intimidating name of the procedure (glycolic acid?!), glycolic peels are comfortable, easy and involve no downtime.
The Jessner peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that uses a mixture of acids (lactic and salicylic) to break down the surface layer of the skin and exfoliate the epidermis and the upper portion of the dermis. This prompts your body’s healing response, which brings new, fresher-looking skin to the surface.
After receiving the peel, your skin may feel and look a bit sunburned, and it may begin peeling after a few days. This is a normal part of the healing process that results in rejuvenated skin.
