~Post Summer Peel~

As we say hello to fall, it’s a prime time to address the signs of damage accrued throughout the summer months. Despite the best efforts of diligent sunscreen-wearers, environmental assaults and UV radiation can cause the complexion to become visibly dry and uneven. Post-summer peels not only help repair this damage, but they also prevent accumulated damage.

Chemical peels are designed to literally peel away the top layers of the epidermis by dissolving the bonds that hold our cells together. Post-summer peels are an excellent way to maintain the quality of your skin, as they exfoliate texture irregularities, reduce unwanted pigmentation and sunspots, evacuate clogged pores, and strip the skin of excess oil production. 

We naturally avoid the sun and are often more compliant with post-treatment care during the fall and winter months, making these seasons an optimal time for chemical treatments. However, because chemical peels have the potential to unveil new, healthy skin, it is essential to protect freshly treated skin by using a broad spectrum sunscreen year-round, even when sun exposure is minimized. 

Peels are most effective when performed in a series, generally once a week for six weeks followed by monthly maintenance treatments.
