Is acid peeling permanent? What age group is acid peeling suitable for?

Everyone must have heard of acid peels in their lives, but do you know more about them? Today, let's learn about whether acid peels are permanent and what age groups are suitable for acid peels. Let's learn together with the editor.

Acid peels use high concentrations of glycolic acid to peel, because it can remove old keratin and make the skin fairer. During the peel, a few people may feel a slight sting or itch, and after the peel, there may be a slight peel or scab, but it will fall off completely after a few days, and the skin will be refreshed. However, acid peels are not permanent. How long the acid peel can last depends on the product used. If you continue to use low-concentration acid skin care products, the effect of the peel can be sustained. If you do not continue to maintain it, it will only last for about three months before it will return to its original state.

Fruit acid peel is suitable for adults as long as they are over 18 years old. Any whitening product will not last long after treatment and needs your daily care to maintain. The recurrence rate of fruit acid peel is 1. If you continue to use low-concentration fruit acid skin care products after treatment, the effect of the peel can be sustained; if you do not continue to maintain it, it can only last for about 6-12 months before it will return to its original state. The maintenance time varies from person to person.

What should I pay attention to after doing fruit acid peel?

1. Skin care matters within one week after surgery

During the week of peeling, you can only wash your face with clean water every day, and then pat your skin dry with a towel. Do not rub your skin hard, because the skin after the fruit acid peel is still relatively fragile, and a small injury will have a big impact. You can apply ointment or cream appropriately, and remember to ask the doctor for advice. After about a week, the skin can return to normal. At this time, you can stop using ointment and start using some mild cleansing products to clean your face. You still cannot use rubbing to clean. You can use some fruit acid maintenance cream or lotion that you used before, and use it once every night.

2. Be sure to wear sunscreen

After the acid peel, the skin's ability to resist UV rays will be reduced. If you don't take good care of the sunscreen and expose your skin to the sun, it will easily aggravate fine lines and spots. Try to avoid going out. Also, avoid some improper behaviors that cause scars, so try not to wear a hat, shave, scratch the itchy skin, etc., so as to protect the results of the acid peel. At the same time, you must protect yourself from the sun even on cloudy days. Because cloudy days reflect more UV rays, you need to use sunscreen that resists both UVA and UVB and has an SPF of more than 15. And you must apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out to allow the sunscreen to fully work. If you are playing at the beach or in the swimming pool, you can use a waterproof series and remember to reapply every 30 minutes.

Who should not do acid peel?

1. There are obvious trauma and sunburn on the face;

2. Patients with diabetes, hypertension and severe hypertension, etc.;

3. Patients who have too high expectations for the surgical results;

4. People with scar-prone constitution;

5. Skin inflammation, etc.
