We’re kicking off the new year by offering $70.00 Professional Facial Treatments (aka: Chemical Peels) and $100.00 Microderm Chemical Peel Combo for the entire month of January! If you have never had any of these treatments, feel free to give us a call at (303) 440-9493 and we can tell you all about it. In the meantime, here’s some basic information about these two treatments:
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a process whereby a blend of salicylic acid, resorcinol and lactic acid in combination with retinol is applied to the skin for effective skin resurfacing. This is a 45 minute long treatment.
Would I benefit from a Chemical Peel Treatment?
The most common candidate for a chemical peel is a person with sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, and/or actinic keratoses. Sun damage results in finewrinkling, skin thinning, sun spots (liver spots or solar lentigines), and very early percursor skin cancers called actinic keratoses. Skin peels may also be used to treat acne scarring.
What should expect my skin to look like after a Chemical Peel?
The chemical used in the Chemical Peel procedure causes the skin to peel off. Over the next 1 to 14 days, new skin will appear. As such, some flaking of the skin is normal, but this can also be drastically reduced by using a good moisturizer. In general, your skin will not be drastically different in coloration and any such effects will be minor.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion,also known as microderm, is one of the easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments you can get. It is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that removes the outer layer of dead skin cells by use of a diamond-tip microdermabrasion machine.
What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion has many benefits: It softens fine lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, also known as age spots. Since the Microderm treatment promotes cell rejuvenation, you’ll walk out with softer, smoother, and cleaner skin.
Why should I do a Microderm and Peel combo treatment?
Microdermabrasion makes it easier for high-tech skin care products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance. As such, combining the Chemical Peel after the Microderm ensures that you get the most benefit from the Chemical Peel.
