What Is a Micropeel?
Micropeel combines two procedures. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin, helping remove accumulated dead skin cells. A suitable chemical peel is then applied to promote controlled exfoliation and address specific concerns. The peel used depends on the patient’s skin type, sensitivity and treatment goals.
What Are the Benefits of Micropeel Treatment?
A micropeel may help improve:
- Dull and uneven-looking skin
- Rough skin texture
- Mild superficial pigmentation
- Mild comedonal acne in selected patients
- Overall skin smoothness and radiance
Results vary depending on the skin concern, the peel selected and the number of sessions required. A micropeel is not a permanent solution for pigmentation, acne scars or enlarged pores.
Is Micropeel Painful? Is There Any Downtime?
Micropeel is generally well tolerated. Patients may experience mild tingling, temporary redness or dryness. Depending on the chemical peel used, some individuals may experience visible peeling over the following days. It is often suitable for a lunch-break appointment, but downtime cannot be guaranteed to be minimal for everyone.
What Precautions Are Needed After a Micropeel?
Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoid scrubs, picking peeling skin and introducing irritating active ingredients until the skin has recovered. Your dermatologist may recommend additional precautions depending on the peel used.
