As we navigate through the winter months in Baltimore, MD, many of us struggle with dry, dull skin that seems resistant to our usual skincare routines. At the Advanced Center for Plastic Surgery, we understand the frustration this can cause. That’s why we’re excited to share a powerful solution that can transform your skin: chemical peels.
Understanding Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can address a variety of skin concerns, including dryness, dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture. By applying a carefully formulated solution to the skin, chemical peels remove the outer layers of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath.
The Benefits of Chemical Peels for Dry Skin
Dry skin can be particularly challenging to treat, especially during colder months. Here’s why chemical peels are an excellent option for combating this common issue:
- Deep Exfoliation: Chemical peels provide a level of exfoliation that goes beyond what at-home products can achieve, effectively removing the buildup of dead skin cells that contribute to dryness and dullness.
- Improved Hydration: By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, chemical peels allow for better penetration of moisturizers and serums, helping your skin retain hydration more effectively.
- Stimulated Collagen Production: Certain types of chemical peels can stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and firmness over time.
The Chemical Peel Experience
When you visit our Baltimore, MD clinic for a chemical peel, you can expect a comfortable and professional experience. Dr. Beverly Fischer, a renowned plastic surgeon with years of experience in cosmetic procedures, oversees all treatments to ensure optimal results.
The procedure itself is relatively quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes. You may experience a slight tingling sensation during the treatment, but most patients find it very tolerable. After the peel, your skin may be slightly red and sensitive for a few days, but this is a normal part of the healing process. The skin will begin to peel around day 4 and continue through day 7.
Maximizing Your Results
To get the most out of your chemical peel, it’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions. This typically includes:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for several days after treatment
- Using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated
- Refraining from using harsh skincare products until your skin has fully healed
Our team at the Advanced Center for Plastic Surgery will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment.
