With numerous skin care treatments on the market today, chemical peels<\/a> are still one of the best options to consider for a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
\nAccording to skincare expert Ellen Clark, chemical peels quickly help to reduce acne, smooth lines and wrinkles and lighten and fade dark spots. There are several key considerations, however, to ensure the best possible clinical peel to treat a client’s individual needs.
\nIf you are offering chemical peels, begin the service with a thorough skin analysis, offer a variety of peel strengths and solutions, and start out conservatively, advises Clark. “Most clients respond exceptionally well to light chemical peels<\/a> when performed by a skilled technician who uses quality product,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

The following are key considerations when considering a chemical peel:
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cVarying skin types and skin conditions play a key role in choosing the correct peel strength,\u201d Clark added. Especially if you are working with Asia skin, sensitive skin, easily burned skin or breakout-prone skin to breakouts, make sure you have experience and training those particular skin types and ethnicities before offering these services.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Select the correct peel. Because there are many on the market today, carefully conduct research beforehand. Key ingredients such as glycolic acid range from 5-50%, depending upon the desired result and goal. The Ph of the product also plays an important role in the overall process, and it\u2019s imperative that you thoroughly understands the products you use and takes the time to answer the client\u2019s questions. Said Clark, \u201cSome peels cause no visible peeling, while other agents cause one to peel like a snake for three straight days. Some clients want to “see” their skin peeling, and other people do not want the peeling to be noticeable.<\/p>\n

\"Chemical<\/a>

Medical Grade<\/p><\/div>\n

Communicate and discuss this with your client.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Know the ingredients in the peeling agent. It\u2019s best to determine this beforehand in the event that your client is allergic to any key ingredients. The most common peeling agents used in the spa setting are glycolic acid, salicylic acid (to be avoided if your client is allergic to aspirin), lactic acid, TCA, vitamin A or a combination of several acids.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Achieve the end result desired. Some women have acne issues they wish to have cleared up while others strive to reduce wrinkles, skin discolorations or simply maintain a smoother-looking complexion. Spa peels are considered “progressive,” meaning that a client typically purchases a series of four to eight peels, performed during several months, with results that occur without some of the side affects commonly associated with deeper, more invasive physician-administered peels.<\/p>\n
