The Top Four Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Did you know that you can get more effective results from a chemical peel than you can from certain beauty creams? Chemical peels get rid of the old, damaged skin layer and expose a new, youthful-looking one. Some of the skin concerns you can treat with chemical peels are wrinkles, fine lines, acne scarring, rosacea, dull skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, sun damage, and freckles, among others. If you are considering a chemical peel in Texas and its environs, then take advantage of the experts at Syed Ahmad, M.D. in Plano, TX.

Here are the top four frequently asked questions about chemical peels:

1. How do they work?

There are three different strengths of peels, and they are used to achieve varying results. The mild or superficial peel is generally used on all skin types for surface exfoliation. For medium and deep phenol peels, our skin specialist will have to determine whether the treatment is suitable for you.

Our skincare specialist will administer the chemical peel in layers and leave it for a specific duration. You can expect your skin to start peeling off in the following days as it undergoes exfoliation.

2. Am I a good candidate?

Chemical peels are usually effective on light-skinned, pale-haired people. For darker skinned patients, doctors generally come up with different preparations to suit each case. When you consult our doctor, he will examine your skin type before determining the best course of action. If you have conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and diabetes, it is in your best interest to consult our doctor about them.

3. What should I expect after treatment?

Chemical peels have varying strengths and create different results. Our doctor will prescribe the type of peel best suited to reach your skin goals. For deeper peels, you may be required to stay indoors for the delicate skin to grow back. You will also need to use sunscreen every time you go into the sun to avoid damaging newly rejuvenated skin.

4. How do I prepare for a chemical peel?

Washing your face and applying moisturizer and sunscreen on a daily basis is the best way to prepare your skin for chemical peels. After the treatment, our doctor will also guide you on how to maintain healthy and younger-looking skin.

Chemical peels are one of the most effective skin care solutions, however, each person’s skin requirements are unique. For a safe treatment, it’s best to work with a certified professional, such as the ones at Syed Ahmad, M.D. in Plano, TX. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
