Unfortunately, our skin is where we show aging. It our means of interacting with the world, through gentle touches, loving kisses, and a range of facial expressions. When aging begins to present in the skin, for whatever reason, there are two options for rejuvenating treatment that cannot be achieved with at-home or even spa center care: microdermabrasion and chemical peel. Microdermabrasion is a healthy skincare treatment that completely renews the skin cells. By using microscopic abrasive beads, microdermabrasion clears away dead skin, and targets blemish-causing dirt deeper in the skin. Slight redness is apparent after treatment but it disappears within a few hours and is easily covered with makeup immediately. A chemical peel achieves similar results but through a different technique. Rather than working from the surface via an instrument, as microdermabrasion does, chemical peel is applied to the face in a topical treatment. The unique chemical treatment in a chemical peel also removes dead skin and dirt in the skin’s pores, ensuring that the healthiest, youngest-looking skin returns to the surface.
