At Avie! Med Spa + Laser Center, we often have people requesting chemical peels to reverse sun damage. They believe peels are the best treatment for brown spots on face—among other benefits.
And while they definitely are effective, they are certainly not the best. Instead, we usually recommend a series of treatments for laser skin rejuvenation in Loudoun County.
A laser treatment for sun damage can work quicker and much more effectively than chemical peels. Let’s dive into how they work.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use chemicals to remove damaged skin, unveiling fresh skin. We have several options for peels that range from light (only removing the top layer of skin) to deep (removing skin cells from deep within the middle layer of skin).
Peels can reverse signs of aging and even boost the production of collagen, a structural protein in your skin that declines with age. However, they require a lot of sessions (depending on the type of peel you get) and a few days of downtime as your skin sheds its old layers.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Lasers, like HALO and MOXI, and light therapy like BBL HERO, and BBL HEROic, also boost collagen production and reverse signs of aging. The power of light works similarly to chemical peels because it sets off your body’s natural healing abilities to improve the health of your skin.
However, they produce far superior results with less downtime. In fact, in a study from Stanford University, it was found that BBL treatments can alter your skin cells, reactivating gene expression patterns more prominent in younger skin. So it’s not just giving the appearance of youthful skin, it’s also giving the function of younger skin.
For enhanced results, we recommend stacking your BBL HEROic laser therapy treatment with MOXI or HALO.
Look Towards the Light for Skin Rejuvenation
We won’t say no to a chemical peel, but we will still try to save you time with a treatment for laser skin rejuvenation in Loudoun County instead. No matter what your decision is, we promise to reveal clear, radiant skin.
