Say goodbye to acne scarring with chemical peels

Chemical Peel for Acne Near Me In Perrysburg OH

Acne is a widespread skin condition that affects more than 50 million Americans. Caused by clogged pores and excess oil, acne can be a tough condition to battle. If you’ve suffered from acne in the past, you may have successfully eliminated the constant breakouts but are now stuck with unsightly scarring. Chemical peels are a great way to loosen the top layer of skin and stimulate cell renewal. At Mitchell Dermatology in Perrysburg, Ohio, we can utilize chemical peels to reduce the appearance of acne scarring and improve the overall tone and texture of your skin.

What causes acne scarring?

Your body looks at acne breakouts like any other injury and begins activating healing processes to repair the skin. Scarring occurs as your body works to replace the lost tissue. When it replaces too much tissue, the result is a raised scar (known as a hypertrophic scar), and when it replaces too little tissue, you will have a depressed scar (known as an atrophic scar).

How chemical peels treat acne scars

Chemical peels are customized solutions applied to the skin to deeply exfoliate the dermis (outer layer of skin), causing dead skin cells to shed and reveal newer, smoother skin rapidly. Chemical peels are best for treating atrophic acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, although, with the proper regimen, they can also successfully improve the appearance of hypertrophic scars.

What to expect with chemical peels

Our aesthetic team will evaluate your scarring and recommend a customized plan based on your unique needs during a consultation. Chemical peels can range in strength from light to deep. Generally speaking, light chemical peels are most commonly recommended for an acne scar.

During the peel, our aesthetician will gently cleanse your face and place protection around your eyes and hair before applying the solution to the skin. You may feel a tingling, cold, or even burning sensation once it is on the skin.

Following the peel, you may notice redness or sensitivity. It’s advised to avoid sun exposure for a few days following your peel.

FAQs

Is peeling better than facial?

Choosing between a peel and a facial depends on individual skin needs and goals. Both treatments offer unique benefits. Peels can address specific skin concerns deeply, while facials provide more general skincare and relaxation. Consulting with a dermatologist can help determine the best option for your skin.

How often should you get skin peels?

The frequency of skin peels depends on the type of peel, skin condition, and treatment goals. Generally, a series of peels spaced four to six weeks apart is common for optimal results. However, it’s best to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your skin.

Are peels or microdermabrasion better?

The choice between peels and microdermabrasion depends on individual skin concerns and goals. Peels are more effective for addressing specific skin issues deeply, while microdermabrasion provides gentler exfoliation. Consulting with a dermatologist can help determine the best option for your skin.
