WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICRODERMABRASION AND CHEMICAL PEELS?
Both treatments are treated as a form of exfoliation. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells from the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer. The easiest way to keep your skin safe is by keeping it free of dead skin cells–making exfoliation essential to your regular skincare routine.
The distinction between microdermabrasion and chemical peels is that there are two different exfoliation types: microdermabrasion is physical exfoliation, while chemical peels are a chemical exfoliation.
What is MICRODERMABRASION?
Microdermabrasion is an intense, medical-grade physical exfoliation that extracts dead skin cells from the epidermis and leads to the growth of new, healthy skin cells. It also enhances skin tone and texture; helps to reduce bruises on the surface; minimizes blotchy skin; and battles unnecessary signs of aging
For most skin types and shades, microdermabrasion is safe and effective. This is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that needs zero downtime.
Clients say that after one procedure their skin glows and looks younger! Long-term effects are much more likely when a series of therapies for microdermabrasion are completed.
WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
Chemical peels are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles; discoloration caused by sun damage; decrease the appearance of surface scars; visible breakouts; and enhance the skin’s overall appearance and feel.
How the dead skin cells are separated from the body is the biggest difference between the two procedures. A chemical peel is a type of chemical exfoliation using a chemical solution to remove the attachment on the epidermis holding dead skin cells together. Then shed or flake off the dead skin cells, revealing smoother and healthier skin below. While consumers say that after only one treatment their skin looks significantly healthier, evener and cleaner, a series of treatments are recommended for long-term results.
