LIGHT CHEMICAL PEEL AT A GLANCE
WHAT IT DOES: The most mild category of chemical exfoliation, a light chemical peel, works by removing part or all of the epidermis, creating inflammatory triggers that spur the production of new collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans.2 Although some peeling and flaking may occur after 48-72 hours, a patient may return to their normal return directly after receiving a superficial chemical peel. The result is a brighter, more even complexion.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Sometimes a series of light chemical peels performed monthly can create a layered effect and thereby augment the results of a superficial chemical peel. This option is popular for patients that cannot or do not want to endure the longer recovery periods associated with medium depth peels. If considering a light chemical peel series, it’s important to consult with an experienced skincare professional and strictly adhere to all pre and post-care recommendations for the chosen superficial chemical peel.
