What is a Micropeel?

MICRODERMABRASION IN CHICO, CA   916SKIN... ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC

Micropeel is synonymous with microdermabrasion. Micropeel skin treatments mechanically abraid the surface of the skin to improve texture and skin tone. Micropeels can be helpful in treating noninflamed acne when used in combination with other treatment therapies. By itself, a micropeel can give instant gratification for those seeking smoother more radiant skin. It can also give your skin the boost it needs the day before a big event. Micropeel skin treatments are one of the preferred methods for skin rejuvenation by pregnant and lactating women, as well as those seeking an alternative to chemical peels.  Depending on the depth of the peel, microdermabrasion can be a relaxing skin treatment and provides that instant "wow-factor" for silky smooth glowing skin. However, the results of microdermabrasion are short lived, and it alone will not clear your acne.

To find out what type of skin rejuvenation treatments will benefit you most, please call 916SKIN - Acne & Skincare Clinic at (530) 503.9169.

When used correctly, benzoyl peroxide can be highly effective in treating inflammatory acne. Improper use of this product can cause serious skin irritation including further complications with acne (as seen in photo).

Benzoyl peroxide is commonly used in the treatment of acne due to its antibacterial properties. BPO acne medication is marketed under a variety of brand names in over 200 formulations. Proper use of BPO, reduces levels of P. acnes bacteria and free fatty acids. The drug is absorbed into the skin where it is converted to benzoic acid and then excreted in the urine as benzoate. Possible side effects include a variety of skin irritation: severe redness, burning, blistering, itching, crusting, skin rash, and acneic breakouts. Please see an acne treatment specialist prior to using this product.
