Peels for Melanin-Rich Skin: Safe and Successful Treatments

Our Mamas might have been hooked on facials – and with good reason – but these days, solution-based chemical peels work on skin conditions immediately and with long-term results. Banish thoughts that they’ll leave you raw and painful. A peel done right – and that’s safe for your skin – will give you that fresh-faced glow you’ve been craving. Especially at this time of year. Ready to reveal your best skin ever?

Safe and Sound: Anti-Inflammatory Peels for Acne

Hot weather, climbing stress levels, and hormonal imbalances that are overdue for a checkup. If your breakouts need calming, an Azelaic peel brings anti-inflammatory benefits for your skin. But how does a chemical peel actually cause an inflammatory condition like acne? It’s formulated to reduce the uncomfortable sensations that a chemical peel may otherwise cause. And it’s all thanks to ingredients arnica and salicylic acid. This duo help skin recover quickly. They also help treat mild to severe acne and hyperpigmentation.

As both conditions are deeply connected to melanin-rich skin types – and also linked to damage caused by incorrect treatment – the risk and complication factors are low. Plus, you’re safe to return to work the very same day. Another anti-inflammatory winner is a Beta Hydroxy Peel. Again, all skin tones and types can be safely treated, and the buildup of dead surface skin cells that makes your complexion look dull and ashy is whisked away. This treatment also helps with large pores, acne, and hormonal pigmentation (melasma). Therefore, this is a super-solution for melanin-rich skin as it ticks many boxes. And bonus, a professional exfoliation like this means your skincare products can sink properly into skin, giving your face more of what it needs to glow gorgeously.

Something Deeper: Successful Treatments For Your Skin

Often, our skin craves an all-rounder treatment. If you’re looking for a monthly maintenance treatment that either helps you reach your prejuvenation goals or treats the first signs of ageing, try a Ferulic Peel. This antioxidant-laced peel has been created to be comfortable yet de-ageing, treating fine lines and wrinkles, all while boosting hydration into the skin. Want to up the ante further? This is often the best approach when treating pigmentation conditions, such as melasma, and skin trauma, like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. MesoBrite is low risk.

And while the complications aren’t anything major to worry about, you’ll need to commit to home care. Choosing your peel is all about how stubborn your dark marks are. In other words, how deep-seated that melasma or PIH is. Therefore, a skin therapist must perform this medical peel under the supervision of a doctor. It’s a two-part therapy that requires their expertise: layers of peel and a deep de-pigmenting mask, followed by a post-clinic treatment, and an at-home kit with maintenance creams to boost your results.

Ready to level up your skin?

Chemical peels can certainly take it to the next level. And when safe for melanin-rich skin tones, the stress of damage and skin trauma means you’re focused on skin goals. Rather than more skin issues to tackle. And that’s the point of skin therapy done right. Here’s to your amazing skin; give it exactly what it needs, whenever it needs it and your complexion will thank you.
