WASHINGTON, DC, November 10, 2010 (Press-News.org) A chemical peel is facial rejuvenation procedure. It is non-surgical but, depending on the depth of peel you choose, it is a much more serious treatment than the facials you can perform at home, and does require some recovery. Chemical peels can significantly improve wrinkles and discoloration while refreshing the skin and improving its texture.
How a Chemical Peel Works
A chemical peel removes the outer layers of skin allowing it to be replaced with new healthy skin cells and encouraging collagen production.
During the procedure, a chemical solution is applied to your skin. Then, over the next few days the old, damaged skin will scale and peel off, revealing the fresh, healthy skin underneath.
Depending on the depth of peel you choose, a chemical peel can make a very significant difference in the texture of your skin and even remove precancerous cells.
Benefits of Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can improve the look and texture of your skin in many ways including:
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve sun damaged skin
- Revive dull skin
- Remove or reduce discoloration
- Minimize mild scars
- Minimize lines under the eyes and around the mouth
- Encourage collagen production for plumper, younger looking skin
- Improve acne
- Improve rough, dry skin
- Minimize large pores
A chemical peel is a great alternative to facial surgery for improving the appearance and texture of your skin. It does not address the underlying structure or tissues, and it does not remove excess skin.
Caring For Your Skin Before and After Chemical Peel
Properly caring for your skin, before and after your chemical, peel is an essential part of the process. The new skin that is revealed by the peel will be delicate and fragile at first.
You must protect your skin from the sun before and after your chemical peel. After a very deep peel you may need to stay out of the sun for several months.
Your cosmetic surgeon will give you detailed instruction and product recommendations to help you care for your skin.
Chemical Peel Recovery
The length and severity of your chemical peel recovery will depend on the depth and aggressiveness of the peel. The initial result of the peel will be similar to a sunburn. Recovery can take a few days to a few weeks.
Regardless of depth, you can expect to experience redness, scaling, crusting, and peeling. Moderate to deep peels can also cause facial swelling.

Latest Mortgage Fraud Crisis May Help Homeowners Keep Their Homes
2010-11-10
The latest chapter of the mortgage crisis may actually help some homeowners facing foreclosure rather than hurt them. Recently, it has come to light that many of the nation's biggest lenders, including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and GMAC, have been using questionable documentation to foreclose on homes all across the country.
In some cases, the lenders have been instructing employees to sign thousands of foreclosure documents a day without proper witnesses and notaries. These so-called "robo-signers" are signing affidavits that say they have reviewed the loan ...
A Will: Why You Should Have One
2010-11-10
A will provides the heirs of your estate with instruction in how to distribute the assets of your estate; sounds pretty dry and uninteresting. Unfortunately for many, it is only after a person dies that the will, or lack thereof, becomes interesting. By then, it's too late.
Most people know they should have a will, but they tend to put it off, especially if they are young. They may have been to very few funerals and not known many people who have died. They think wills and estate planning are for the future and they have plenty of time before they need to consider such ...
Proposal to Reform New York DWI Laws Would Do Harm
2010-11-10
"First, do no harm," counsels the Hippocratic oath. Good doctors still honor these words -- and so should legislators considering revisions to New York's drunk driving laws.
Brendan Tully, a Democrat who ran for a seat in the state assembly, proposed a fundamental change in New York DWI law. Specifically, the proposal is to amend the law so that drivers charged with DWI are no longer allowed to plead to a lesser charge that is at the level of a traffic infraction. Although Tully did not win a seat in the Assembly, the proposal he put forward could come up again. Its ...

NC Supreme Court Issues Decision on Underinsured Motorist Coverage
2010-11-10
The North Carolina Supreme Court recently issued an opinion that underscores the importance of enlisting counsel for the long haul after a motor vehicle accident. The court considered whether a driver using a substitute vehicle was eligible for coverage under an underinsured and medical payments (UIM) auto insurance policy.
In Martini v. Companion Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., plaintiff Douglas Martini asserted that the UIM policy he carried on one of his vehicles should have covered his losses after he was seriously injured driving another vehicle that he owned. Martini suffered ...
