Chemical Peels or Microdermabrasion – Which One is Best for You?
As we age, our skin naturally begins to lose its smooth appearance. Slowly, fine lines and wrinkles begin to emerge, and signs of sun damage, acne scars and other problematic issues can be more difficult to conceal. At the Harley Institute Institute, we help people in the Atlanta, Georgia area revitalize their skin so they can look and feel their best. Both chemical peels and microdermabrasion provide a non-invasive, effective method for achieving your skin care goals, without resorting to conventional cosmetic surgery. They are one of the most commonly requested treatments at the Harley Institute Institute, and for good reason. Scheduling regular sessions for both treatments can provide a minimally invasive, fast acting and long lasting way to keep your skin healthy and blemish free long term. Are you wondering which option is best for you? Here’s just a few reasons why these popular anti-aging skin care techniques can help turn back the clock and give you the skin of your dreams.
How Can Chemical Peels Help Restore Youthful Skin?
Chemical peels involve the use of Alpha Hydroxy and other peeling agents that help remove the top layer of dead skin cells and reveal the young, beautiful skin hidden underneath. Alpha hydroxy is a chemical exfoliant that can help you maintain a clear, smooth complexion for a lasting youthful glow. Over time, wrinkles and fine lines will diminish, and natural collagen production becomes activated and consistently stimulated for sustained beauty from the inside out. Chemical peels are excellent for a variety of skin related problems including hyperpigmentation and can reduce the appearance of minor scarring. Clients should wait 2-4 weeks between peels, depending on the strength of the treatment used.
The Many Benefits of Microdermabrasion
In contrast, microdermabrasion utilizes tiny crystals that are gently moved over the surface of the skin using innovative equipment that distributes and vacuums the removed dead skin. This technique will remove damaged skin cells, and help to renew healthy skin cells while softening wrinkles and fine lines. It provides instant improvements and when continued over time, can help keep your skin gorgeous, smooth and acne free. Microdermabrasion can generally be performed again two weeks after the prior treatment.
Consider a Dual Approach
Those who want to maximize the effects of microdermabrasion or chemical peels can benefit from a dual approach. You can schedule a Power Peel with Dr. Harley, which involves a combination of microdermabrasion and Alpha Hydroxy treatments for enhanced skin restoration. You can also alternate between microdermabrasion and chemical peel treatments to prolong the effects and have beautiful, fresh complexion for many years to come.
