Best Chemical Peels near me in Oakham

When carried out by an experienced dermatologist or practitioner, chemical peels can achieve great results, reducing skin discoloration, wrinkles, and acne with minimal discomfort. However, you need to be prepared for your skin to start peeling 3-5 days after your treatment in a similar way to flaking, sun-burned skin. Your skin will be vulnerable at this stage: pick at it and you could cause irritation and infection. Those prone to acne may experience breakouts, but these should clear up within a few days, leaving your skin looking healthier. You’ll also need to avoid high temperatures, over-exertion, and wearing makeup for 1-2 weeks.

Different types of chemical peels are used for different reasons. Superficial (light) chemical peels remove the top layer of your skin so that it looks smoother, with less wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation when new skin cells grow. Medium peels target similar issues at a deeper level; and deep peels target the deepest skin cells, and is often used to treat severe sun damage. You may experience some stinging during a chemical peel, but this is normal.
