What Is Micro Peel?

www.findtheSpa.com

A micro peel is a type of chemical skin peel that is used to soften and smooth the skin, typically on the face, chest or hands. It involves the use of a chemical solution applied to the skin to remove the damaged outer layers. A micro peel does not penetrate as deeply as some other types of chemical peels, so it is not used to for major skin corrections, such as scars or deep wrinkles. The peel is usually used in conjunction with other skin care treatments.

The potential benefits of a micro peel include softer skin, a smoother skin surface, smaller pores, and a more even skin tone. In some people, the peel can reduce the appearance of very find lines and wrinkles, but typically, a stronger peel is needed for those corrections.  After the peel, a moisturizing cream is applied to prevent dryness. In some cases, dry ice or other stimulants may be applied. Unlike other chemical peels, there is no extended recovery time following a micro peel, and patients can resume using makeup right away. 

The effects of the micro peel become evident about two weeks after the first peel, once the dead skin cells have had a chance to shed fully. In order to achieve optimal results, about six peels, each scheduled two weeks apart, are typically required. After that, maintenance peels are usually performed every one to three months. Those unable to return for maintenance peels can expect results to fade after approximately six months.
