How Chemical Peels Can Improve the Appearance of Acne Scars
Acne can leave more than just temporary blemishes — it can also result in stubborn scars that affect your skin’s appearance for years. Thankfully, chemical peels are an effective treatment option for improving the look of acne scars, revealing a smoother, more even skin texture. At Medspa 501 in Chapel Hill, we offer a variety of Glytone chemical peels tailored to your skin’s needs, specifically designed to target acne scars and other skin imperfections.
How Chemical Peels Work for Acne Scars
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, promoting the removal of dead skin cells and stimulating the production of new, healthy skin. By doing this, peels help to improve skin texture, reduce discoloration, and fade the appearance of acne scars. Over time, this leads to more even skin tone, smoother texture, and a reduction in the visibility of scars caused by past breakouts.
The active ingredients in chemical peels, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and mandelic acid, deeply penetrate the skin to exfoliate, revealing fresh, new layers. These treatments also stimulate collagen production, a vital protein that helps skin heal, giving it a firmer, more youthful appearance. With regular treatments, chemical peels can significantly reduce acne scars and improve overall skin texture.
Glytone Peels for Acne Scars
At Medspa 501, we offer several Glytone chemical peels that can help address acne scars and other skin concerns. Each peel is customized to meet your skin’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results. Here are the options we offer:
- Glytone Mandelic Peel (Grade 1): This gentle peel is ideal for those with sensitive skin or mild acne scars. Mandelic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates and brightens the skin, improving texture and clarity without causing irritation. It’s especially effective for those dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left behind after breakouts). This peel is an excellent choice if you’re new to chemical peels or want a mild treatment with minimal downtime.
- Glytone Jessner Bright and Clear Peel (Grade 2): This peel is perfect for those with more pronounced acne scars or active acne. It combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to exfoliate the skin and help clear up acne, reduce oil production, and improve skin clarity. This treatment also helps to address any dark spots or pigmentation that may be left behind by acne. For clients with oily or acne-prone skin, this peel provides visible improvement with a slightly more intense treatment than the Mandelic Peel.
- Glytone Triple Bright Peel (Grade 3): If you’re dealing with deeper acne scars or severe discoloration, the Triple Bright Peel is an excellent choice. This powerful peel uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA), lactic acid, and kojic acid to provide an intensive exfoliation that promotes smoother skin, reduces deep scars, and significantly brightens the complexion. It’s a great option for clients looking for dramatic improvements in skin texture and tone.
Which Peel Is Right for You?
The best peel for your acne scars depends on the severity of the scarring and your skin’s overall sensitivity. If you’re unsure which treatment to choose, our skincare professionals at Medspa 501 will assess your skin and provide personalized recommendations.
For mild scars, the Glytone Mandelic Peel is a great place to start, as it gently exfoliates without irritating the skin. For moderate scarring, the Glytone Jessner Bright and Clear Peel offers a deeper treatment that targets acne and pigmentation. For more severe acne scars, the Glytone Triple Bright Peel provides powerful results that can transform your skin’s texture and tone.
