Bradenton Chemical Peel Season

It’s the time of year when the best Bradenton facial treatments combine VI Peels with IPL and/or ClearLift procedures.

It’s peel season! As we begin the slow transition from summer to autumn here in southwest Florida, it’s time to reckon with sun damage and prepare our skin for the busy social time of year on the horizon. A Chemical Peel can be a fantastic option to rejuvenate your skin.

The Sunshine State really earns that nickname. Some amount of UV damage is almost impossible to avoid, even for those of us who diligently slather on the sunscreen multiple times a day.

With that being said, the key to maintaining a healthy glow and smooth, even skin tone is to work with professional estheticians. Bradenton VI peels performed in September and October address the damage done by our hottest, sunniest months and restore that youthful, unblemished skin in time for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving gatherings, and the many, many engagements of the holiday season.

Using a Chemical Peel can help address various skin concerns, improving texture and clarity.

Better still, Bellagena is now combining the industry’s No. 1 chemical peel with IPL and/or ClearLift treatments, blending gentle resurfacing with tighter, fuller, rejuvenated structure. Get ready to look younger this fall than you did last January!

What Sun Damage Does to Skin

What we commonly refer to as “sun damage” is technically a process called “photoaging”—emphasis on the “aging.” Yes, your skin loses laxity and fullness as you get older, and yes, UV rays greatly accelerate that process.

Sun-damaged skin cells begin producing excels melanin—ie pigment. You might associate that with tanning, but soon enough those damaged cells grow uneven, leading to a spotty, blotchy skin tone. That damage also often creates a rough, dry, or even bumpy surface.

And UV rays don’t just affect the skin’s surface. UVB radiation actually penetrates deeper, affecting your skin’s overall structure. Thin, loose skin is what causes wrinkles.

How Bradenton Chemical Peels Can Help

There’s not much you can do to reverse damage in an individual skin cells. Fortunately, our body was made to continuously replenish skin cells. So the key to correct sun damage is to remove the damaged cells—ie exfoliation—so the fresh ones can shine.

Chemical peels allow for a professional esthetician to evenly exfoliate a select portion of skin using a formula targeted to a particular depth. Less-significant damage may only require a superficial peel, while more harshly damaged skin will benefit from a deeper peel.

Removing these damaged layers all at once essentially returns your skin to its younger state. It’s like getting a “do-over” for sun damage.

The Advantage of the IPL Combo

Sunlight may cause the damage, but light can also help fix it. IPL uses light energy to heat those damaged cells so that your body automatically sheds them.

In many cases, sun damage has affected some patches of skin much worse than others. After the peel has removed the overall damage, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) allows your esthetician to target those spots and blemishes that remain.

ClearLift for the Underlying Damage

Another type of healing light comes in the form of the laser.

Laser skincare technology allows estheticians to focus on the deeper layers of skin without damaging the surface. And the ClearLift laser offers the unique advantage of effective laser penetration that’s safe for virtually all areas of the face.

As mentioned above, sun damage affects laxity and collagen production, too. Clearlift laser technology allows an expert to stimulate and shape collagen production so that it restores the overall structure of your face.

The VI Peel/IPL/ClearLift Combo

When it comes to Bradenton facials, now is the time to use all the tools professional estheticians have at their disposal. 

VI Peels, IPL, and ClearLift treatments all work wonders on their own. But when you’re recovering from months of intense heat and sunshine while your social calendar rapidly fills up in the months ahead, a combination approach makes the biggest difference.
