With so many brands, types, depths, and active ingredients in the chemical peels available today, how can you choose the right one for your specific skin concerns? Picking a product gets even harder if it’s your first time, or if you just aren’t familiar with them. At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we can educate you on how your skin works and the best ways to improve it.
If you’re not sure how to choose the right chemical peel for your needs, then we can help. Take a look at the different kinds of peels and the factors to consider when choosing the right chemical peels in Nags Head.
1) Skin Concerns
When choosing a chemical peel, start by considering what skin concerns you most want to address. If you hope to target wrinkles and fine lines, you might choose a peel with active ingredients like glycolic acid, lactic acid, or trichloroacetic acid to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
If you want to address pigmentation, you should look for peels that also include ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide. Your provider can help explain the ingredients and how they address your concerns during your consultation.
2) Severity
You should also consider the severity of your skin concerns when looking at chemical peels in Nags Head. We offer different levels of peels, and each type helps address different levels of severity.
3) Discomfort & Healing
You should also consider how much discomfort downtime you’ll want to experience for your peel, as each peel comes with a recommended amount of downtime and expected discomfort.
Healing time varies from patient to patient, but you can typically expect a healing period of approximately one week, and then having you return for another chemical peel session about a month later. If you are wanting to take less time to heal, then you may benefit from another treatment we offer.
