The Benefits of Chemical Peels for Your Skin

There are many effective solutions for achieving your skin appearance and texture goals, including chemical peels. Dr. David Allyn and the team at Aesthetic Dermatology of Lady Lake and Clermont, FL, share the benefits below.

1. Increased Collagen Production
A chemical peel works by removing the outer layer or layers of skin, depending on the peel you select. When these layers are removed, the body goes to work repairing the skin surface by promoting the production of collagen. Collagen plays an integral role in fighting fine lines and wrinkles, which means it can help keep your skin smooth and fresh.

2. Reduction in Acne
In addition to promoting the release of collagen, peels also speed up the turnover of the skin’s cells. This faster turnover helps unclog your pores, clears up mild to moderate acne, and prevents breakouts.

3. Healthy, Even Skin Tone and Texture
Sun exposure and environmental factors can lead to sun spots and other hyperpigmented areas. Removing the upper layers of skin helps remove this damage, which helps even out and brighten your skin tone. Dr. Allyn and our teams in Lady Lake and Clermont, FL, also do it to get rid of or reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scarring.

4. Better Product Absorption
It can be frustrating to have a good skincare routine that doesn’t seem to work like it should. Unfortunately, clogged pores, dead skin cells, and other skin issues can prevent some treatment products from being fully absorbed. By clearing pores and removing dead skin cells, a chemical peel helps ensure that your skincare products are properly absorbed so that they can accomplish what they are intended to do.
