There are a lot of things in this world that damage your skin, making you look older than your years. Sun exposure, acne, clogged pores, and the very environment you live and work in can damage your skin. One way to get healthier, younger-looking skin is through a chemical peel. Ultimate Image near Oldsmar is experienced in a variety of chemical peels.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
A chemical peel is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure in which a chemical is applied to the face to peel away the uppermost skin, making way for fresh new skin to take its place. There are a variety of chemicals that can be used depending on your skin type and how deep you want the peel to be.
Depending on the chemical used, within hours or days your skin will peel away, and within a few days the new skin will replace the old. This gives you a younger, fresher look. Chemical peels are also great for cleansing the pores and evening skin tone from sun damage. They can even help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
