Chemical Peels for Sun-Damaged Skin: Undoing the Effects of UV Exposure

chemical peels for sun-damaged skin

The warm embrace of the sun on your skin is one of life’s simple pleasures. But while basking in the sun can be delightful, prolonged exposure to its harmful UV rays can take a toll on your skin. Sun-damaged skin can manifest in the form of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and an uneven skin tone. However, there’s a solution that can help undo the effects of UV exposure and restore your skin’s radiance: chemical peels.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a remarkable skincare treatment that can address a variety of concerns, including sun-damaged skin. The primary goal of this procedure is to apply a meticulously formulated regimen of chemical solutions to your skin. These solutions remove dry or damaged skin cells, unveiling the fresh, healthy skin cells beneath. While chemical peels are commonly applied to enhance the appearance of the face, they are also effective for the neck, décolleté, and hands.

At Elan Skin, we understand that every individual’s skin is unique, and so are their skincare needs. Therefore, we offer a range of chemical peels, each tailored to target specific skin concerns. Let’s explore the different types of peels we provide:

Alpha Beta Peel

This peel instantly improves skin clarity, firmness, and radiance through a gentle blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids. What’s even better is that it results in minimal dryness, making it a fantastic choice for those looking to refresh their skin without significant downtime.

Jessner Peel

A blend of exfoliating acids, the Jessner Peel lightens and evens overall skin tone while softening fine lines and wrinkles. The beauty of this peel is that layered applications allow for customized results, ensuring that your specific needs are met.

Mandelic Peel

The Mandelic Peel is a gentle option that calms and soothes redness and rosacea, all while minimizing pore size. With this peel, your skin looks instantly firmer, and you’ll experience minimal discomfort.

Vitalize Peel

For those seeking to improve photo-damaged skin, fine lines, and unwanted pigmentation, the Vitalize Peel is a game-changer. This peel utilizes a unique blend of high-concentration retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, resorcinol, and other active cosmeceutical ingredients to rejuvenate your skin.

Rejuvenate Peel

The Rejuvenate Peel targets melasma, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. It goes a step further by providing enhanced exfoliation at the deeper layers of the epidermis where skin issues originate. The results are noticeable after just one peel, and significant improvements can be experienced after several treatments.

TCA Peel

If you want to soften fine lines and wrinkles and reduce hyperpigmentation, the moderately intense TCA Peel is an excellent choice. While it may involve more downtime (typically 3-7 days), the results are worth it.
