Cosmetic Surgeries for the Seasons
With the winter holidays right around the corner, you are probably busier than ever but also incredibly in need of a gorgeous face for all of your upcoming parties. However, when you check your face out in the mirror, you may notice that you look particularly tired and lifeless. Your skin may look dry and dull, or it may be breaking out. You may even be noticing new lines, and sun spots that you swear were not there a few months ago.
Common Causes of Skin Issues
Some of the main triggers for these issues are an increase in stress and a decrease in sleep. These and other lifestyle issues may keep your skin from replenishing itself as it should, and you may be left with dull skin that is covered in excessive old skin cells that need to be shed. One of the best ways to get your glow back in time for the holidays is to schedule a chemical peel with Dr. Tavoussi at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach, California.
Bringing Out the Beauty of Your Skin with Chemical Peels
A chemical peel uses acid to remove the outermost layer of skin, thus revealing a new layer of bright, glowing skin beneath it. Some of the most common peels are those containing alpha hydroxy acid or beta hydroxy acid. A chemical peel does even more than just reveal new skin cells. It can also smooth fine lines and wrinkles, decrease hyperpigmentation from freckles or sun spots and bring even tone and texture to the skin.
Alpha hydroxy acid is typically used for a light peel, which may be what you want to opt for if you are getting the treatment shortly before a holiday party. These peels can treat minor lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and even acne but do not cause major peeling, such as what is caused by a deep peel. However, if you have blemishes from breakouts or sun damage or if you have darker skin, you may want to opt for a medium facial peel done with trichloroacetic acid. With either of these types of peel, side effects should subside after two days or fewer. Common side effects usually include redness, tenderness and small amounts of crusting.
If you are interested in a chemical peel for the face or even for elsewhere on your body, contact us at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique today so that we can set up a consultation.
