Why Chemical Peels are Safe for All Skin Types

After running a medical spa for 8 years I often suggest chemical peels in combination with all laser treatments and by themselves because they can help with almost every skin issue client's have, including acne, dull skin, large pores, wrinkles, and black-heads. However, almost 50% of the response I get is "I have really sensitive skin, so I don't think I can have a chemical peel. This is a false statement that many people think would be an obvious truth. Unfortunately, the term "chemical peel" has scared many people away, when in fact those same people could greatly benefit from one type of chemical peel. There are light, medium and strong strength chemical peels ranging from no down-time to severe peeling for days. However, there are even chemical peels for Rosacea red skin such as Mandelic peels. While a chemical peel can cause redness immediately following the treatment, it can go away in as little as a few hours with a light peel. It is very rare for someone to not be able to receive a chemical peel, it is simply a matter of a well trained esthetician finding the right chemical peel for your skin type and concerns. If someone has very sensitive skin, redness and flaking can occur for a couple of days but skin will be clear, and glowing after a few days. Patients often say that their skin has never looked so radiant or flawless after the peel. Peels will not only help rid of acne scars, fine lines and sun damage, they can also help stimulate collagen growth. Dermaplaning is also a great option for deep exfoliation and uses no chemicals just a modified blade that blades away the top layer of dead skin. This leaves behind no redness. Find a reputable medical spa in your area that can give you a complimentary consultation. Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been treating clients for 8 years in Orlando Fl.

Fakk Skin-Care tips

Every season brings changes to your skin and therefore you need to reassess the products that you are using and think about switching them up each season. Ask a skin-care professional for assistance.

FALL SKIN-CARE TIPS:
TIP #1: Reassess your body wash. You'll want to find a shower gel that is soap-free as well as hydrating, try a cream not a gel wash. We like Avene Trixera wash.
TIP #2: Moisturize everyday even if you have acne. We like Matte Moisturizer oil free SPF 30.
TIP #3: Analyze your skin. Those who are normally oily might become normal, and those who are normally normal could turn oily. Ask one of our staff to help you choose the right products for you.

Facial Peels-Are they all scary and created equal?

Facial Peels have gotten a bad reputation ever since "Sex in the City"-every girl remembers when Samantha got a "chemical peel" and her face was bright red, she looked horrible, her top layer of skin peeled off and she couldn't go out for days with out wearing that gaudy huge hat! The type of peel Samantha had was obviously a very severe peel-perhaps a Jessner, or TCA-and is usally for very mature, damaged skin and can offer great results for some people. However, there are many "chemical" peels out there that give you amazing results with minimal to no down-time. The purpose of most peels is exfoliate off the top layer of dead skin non-abrasively, even out your skin-tone, lighten pigmented lesions, shrink your pores, and tighten your skin. You want to find a licensed Esthetician who knows what she is doing! In the right hands, your skin will look fresher, tighter, and younger within a series of facials and peels. It is also great for pre-laser and post-laser treatments as well because it will allow the laser to penetrate deeper, and faster, thus giving you better results! Some of Winter Park Laser's favorite peels include; Mandelic, Glycolic, Salycilic, and Lactic Peels! For additional guidance, schedule a complimentary consultation.
