Your face is one of your most noticeable features, and taking care of it could help to improve your self-esteem. Luckily, there are many chemical peel treatments available such as lactic acid peels, that can help you target areas of concern and revitalize your appearance. Lactic acid is an ingredient found in professional-grade and over-the-counter skincare products that improves the appearance of dull, uneven complexions due to acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, and other factors.
At The SpaSide, our premiere MedSpa at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, you may choose from a range of non-surgical, physical enhancements with little-to-no recovery time or risk to help you put your best face forward. If you are ready for a confidence boost, consider a lactic acid peel treatment in Eugene with our team of aesthetic experts. Call our office today to learn more.
Lactic acid is classified as a milk derivative and is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), similar to glycolic acid. A chemical peel using lactic acid is a gentle and effective form of exfoliation that penetrates into the skin’s upper layer to remove the bonds between dead cells. This upper layer of excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells peel off to reveal smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin.
Lactic acid peel treatments in Eugene can be customized by adjusting the concentration or adding other chemical exfoliants to address a wide range of mild to moderate skin concerns. Although “acid” and “peel” may sound harsh, these skin resurfacing techniques are gentle and performed quickly with no downtime. Lactic acid is generally milder and less drying than other forms of AHAs and is an excellent option if you have sensitive skin.
After a lactic acid peel, your skin may appear slightly red and swollen and feel more sensitive to the sun. These symptoms should subside within a few days, but it is essential during this time to avoid direct exposure to UV rays without the proper application of sunscreen. Our team will ensure you are sent with instructions for any aftercare requirements.
Lactic acid peel treatments in Eugene offer numerous benefits. Lactic acid is less irritating than other AHAs and helps your skin maintain its pH levels while exfoliating your pores, ridding your skin of toxins, germs, and dead skin cells so it may better absorb your skin care products.
By exfoliating your skin, lactic acid peels stimulate elastin and collagen production, leading to new, healthier skin cells and an improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lactic acid peel treatments moisturize dry and dehydrated skin and may improve acne-prone, oily complexions.
This resurfacing technique may also improve skin tone and texture, resulting in a visible radiance. If you have pigmentation issues, lactic acid may help regulate your melanin production, reducing hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark spots. Our aesthetic experts can discuss these benefits during your consultation, along with other considerations to help you understand the scope of the treatment.
Lactic acid peels are mild, quick, safe for most skin tones and types, and result in noticeable improvements in your skin’s appearance.
