Peel Season is Here: Why Fall and Winter are the Best Times for Chemical Peels

Why Fall and Winter are Ideal for Chemical Peels

During the summer months, our skin is more prone to sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dryness. As we transition into fall and winter, our skin is more receptive to treatments that promote cell turnover, collagen production, and hydration. Chemical peels are an excellent way to address various skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dullness and uneven tone
• Acne and acne scars
• Hyperpigmentation and sun spots
• Dryness and Dehydration

Benefits of Chemical Peels During Peel Season

Chemical peels are often considered more effective and safer during the autumn and winter months due to several reasons:

1. Reduced UV exposure: UV radiation is a major concern during the summer months. Chemical peels can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation. With reduced UV exposure during autumn and winter, the risk of this decreases. 
2. Improved collagen production: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 
3. Increased cell turnover: Peels help remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
4. Better results with less downtime: Fall and winter's cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels make it an ideal time for peels, as the skin is less prone to irritation and inflammation.

Customized Chemical Peels for Your Skin Concerns

At Pacific Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology, our team of experienced estheticians and dermatologists work together to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique skin concerns and goals. We offer a range of peels to help address these concerns. 

We offer SkinMedica peels available in three different levels: light, medium, and deep. Each level is designed to address different skin concerns and requires different amounts of downtime.

Illuminize Peel: The Illuminize Peel is the gentlest type of SkinMedica peel. It is typically used to treat mild skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and rough texture. Light peels typically require no downtime. 

Vitalize Peel: The Vitalize Peel is a medium-depth peel. It is stronger than the Illuminize Peel and is used to treat more moderate skin concerns, such as deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and melasma. Medium peels typically require a few days of downtime.  

Rejuvenize Peel: The Rejuvenize Peel is a deep peel. It is the strongest type of SkinMedica peel and is used to treat severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scarring. Deep peels typically require a week or more of downtime.
