Erase Summer Skin Damage With a Chemical Peel

Who doesn’t love warm days spent enjoying the outdoors? Whether your summer was shaped by days at the beach, backyard barbecues, dips in the pool, or long walks in the park, all those moments spent outdoors can take a toll on your skin. 

At D’Allure Medspa in Dallas, Texas, we offer a wide range of the very latest medical aesthetics treatment options designed to help you look and feel your best. When it comes to erasing summer skin damage, few things are more effective than a professional chemical peel.

Why is summer so hard on the skin?

There are so many things to love about summer, but warmer weather and bright blue skies have to be at the top of the list. Many of us spend more time outdoors in the warmer months, so it should come as no surprise that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays is the leading source of skin damage during summer. 

Photoaging is the term used to refer to the changes brought on by UV exposure. Not only does UV exposure age your skin faster than usual, but it also increases your risk of developing skin cancer. That’s because UV exposure creates changes in your DNA over time. 

While you can’t reverse these DNA shifts, some treatments can help reverse the visible aging brought on by time in the sun. You already know that wearing high-quality sunscreen every day can help reduce the effects of sun damage, but you also know how difficult it is to stay on top of reapplying sunscreen throughout the day.

Skin tends to sweat more easily and produce more sebum (oil) in the summer, which can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. Some of your favorite skin care products can also work differently when worn in the sun (think retinols and citrus oils).

Why are chemical peels so effective in erasing summer skin damage?

Chemical peels are a type of exfoliating treatment. While physical exfoliants rely on coarse or gritty particles to scrub away the outermost layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels use a specially formulated chemical solution to exfoliate your skin. 

Chemical peels are also highly customizable. There are a multitude of different options to choose from, and a fit for virtually every set of treatment needs and goals. You can choose a light peel to refresh and renew your complexion, or a deeper peel to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation and reveal a whole new level of healthy, glowing skin cells. 

Because chemical peels don’t rely on any form of manual exfoliation, they can deliver impressive results without tugging or scratching your skin. In addition to discoloration brought on by sun exposure, chemical peels are also an effective solution for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Dull complexion
• Rough or scaly patches of skin
• Acne
• Mild scarring

The ability to treat multiple skin concerns with the same treatment is also part of what makes chemical peels so appealing (pun intended)!
