CHEMICAL PEELS

Sometimes it helps to give natural processes a little boost. Human skin is continually exfoliating, shedding dead cells and replacing them. But it doesn’t always do so as fast as we’d like. That’s when treatments such as chemical peels can accelerate the process.

​

Periodic peeling of the skin helps stimulate cellular activity and can be used for addressing a variety of skin issues: from age spots to acne, enlarged pores to pre-cancerous growths. At M Academy we offer chemical peels that exfoliate either lightly, moderately, or aggressively depending on the chemical used.

INDICATIONS

  • Sun damage

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Texture issues

  • Pigmentation problems

  • Age spots

  • Acne and acne scars

  • Freckles

  • Scaly patches

​

Chemical peels do not address deep facial lines and they cannot tighten loose, sagging skin.

DURING THE TREATMENT

During the procedure, the cosmetologist usually uses a cotton-tipped applicator to apply the chemical solution onto the patient’s skin. As the chemical reagents come in contact with the skin, it will begin to change color as the solution facilitates the peeling process.

EFFECTS

  • Oxygenation of the dermis, revitalization

  • Reconstruction of collagen fibers

  • Improving the density and firmness of the skin

  • Moisturizes, nourishes, tightens and smoothes the skin

  • Sealing of blood vessels

  • Improving the color, reduction of discoloration

  • Stop the overproduction of sebum, soothe inflammation

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Most people can benefit from chemical peel treatments. These services can be preventive or corrective in nature. The few contraindications that exist include:

  • Women who are pregnant or nursing.

  • People who have taken Accutane (Isotretinoin) in the previous 12 months.
