LIP PEEL | INTENSE RESTORATION

Chemical peels are a popular option for rejuvenating the upper and lower lips. This non-invasive technique involves applying a chemical solution to the target area to remove the damaged outer layer of skin cells. The results are improved tone and texture, reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration, and increased collagen production, which leaves lips plump and smooth. Chemical peels prepare lips for better absorption of hydrating and nourishing products by removing dead skin cells. Ultimately, chemical peels are an effective solution for achieving a more youthful appearance for your upper and lower lips.

Chemical Peels for the Lip Area

To take care of your lips, it’s important to protect them from cracking and irritation. Unlike facial skin, lips have only three to five cellular layers, so it’s important to use a moisturizer that won’t penetrate too deeply. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your lips, chemical peels are an effective option for both the upper and lower lips.

Lip Peel Benefits

A lip peel can help stimulate collagen production and thereby enhance lip fullness. Additionally, it may help to make the lips appear slightly more pink in colour, resulting in a more youthful look. Those with Fitzpatrick skin types 3-6 may experience darkening of the lip area over time, but a lip peel can assist in restoring their natural colouring.

Chemicals peels sting but do not cause a great deal of pain. The gentlest peels use alpha-hydroxy, glycolic, lactic or fruit acids are also gentle. They may cause stinging, redness, irritation and crusting but as the skin begins to adjust all these problems will lessen. Trichloroacetic acids are used for stronger peelings. They remove wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems. Phenol is the strongest of all treatments and removes deep lines and wrinkles on the face. These types of treatments sting more than those with the gentler acids. After the treatment there may be redness, swelling and irritation but the use of creams and gels will reduce these effects. The doctor may also prescribe medications that will help relieve the problems after the peel.

Fall and winter are the best time to get a chemical peel because it decreases the chances of damaging the new skin through UV damage (sunlight). With that being said, chemical peels can still be performed year-round, if proper precautions are taken.

The amount of peeling observed does not always correlate with the success of the peel. The best indicator of the success of the peel is the end result. A variety of factors influence the amount of peeling expected , such as the depth of the peel , the state of the skin prior to the peel and biological factors .
