Chemical peels
A chemical peel is a chemical that is painted onto the skin to produce an accelerated exfoliation. Chemical peels go deeper into the skin resulting in a brighter and smoother complexion. The results of chemical peels last longer than standard exfoliation techniques.

Chemical peels - The chemical peel procedure
Deep chemical peels should be applied by a medical doctor or registered nurse. A strong glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid mixture is applied to the face with a spatula and left for 90 minutes. You may feel some stinging during the chemical peel procedure. When the chemical peel is removed the top layer of skin is removed along with it.

Superficial chemical peels contain much less acid and are only left on the skin for a few minutes. Consequently this type of chemical peel can be administered by a beautician.

Chemical peels - How long does it take to recover after a chemical peel?
After deep or medium strength chemical peels it can take a couple of weeks for the skin to recover and you may still have some redness. However after superficial chemical peels the skin is only slightly pink.

Chemical peels - What can go wrong with chemical peels?
You must wear sunblock after a chemical peel treatment. If you do not you could have a blotchy complexion. Always have a full consultation before you undergo a chemical peel treatment just so you fully understand the risks.

Chemical peels - How long do chemical peels last?
If you follow the after care recommendations the effects of a deep chemical peel can last up to a year. Dermalift® is an example of a chemical peel product.

Chemical peels - Dermalift ®
Dermalift ® is an innovative treatment of acne scarring and face wrinkles and lines. The Dermalift ® method has been successfully tested in specialist clinics worldwide.

In the main, Dermalift ® is a deep peeling, chemical action of an original medical solution on the face skin. The Dermalift ® treatment is undertaken using analgesia (a minor form of short- term anaesthesia) due to an unpleasant itching feeling experienced during application.

The effects of Dermalift ® are of course long lasting; it is for several years for the wrinkle treatment (depending on client's lifestyle) and permanently for scars (if there is no new acne). The Dermalift ® treatment can be repeated if necessary.

A short and easy healing, surface application, short-time anaesthesia and excellent results are the biggest advantages of the Dermalift ® method. Acne scarring, wrinkles and lines almost disappear, the skin is smooth - all without a surgical knife.
