The Truth About Skin Peels
Skin Peels have been around for many years, going back as far as the 80's. There are many new methods of peeling but some of the old methods are still used. Many people think that there is only one type of peel available - this is a myth. There are many types and many different strengths. Most people who I speak to have seen the peels on " 10 years younger " and believe that all peels will cause the skin to peel away and go through what is commonly known as " Down Time," which means you need to stay home and take time off work, the skin will be very red and eventually peel away. The results which can be achieved with this type of peel are good, but the peel does not suit everyone and certainly does not suit all skin types either. This type of peel needs to be performed by as Doctor, Surgeon or Nurse - basically a medical professional. It is very important to note that not all peels will make the skin peel.
Firstly let us look at how a skin peel works and how it affects the skin.
Skin peels can address multiple skin conditions and concerns including ageing and sun damaged skin, hyper pigmentation, acne, scarring and rosacea. They work by removing the out layer of dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, more youthful skin beneath. In the process they will also clear congested pores and stimulate the collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin, this will help to "remodel" the skin and is particularly beneficial for skin losing elasticity. By removing the layer of dead skin cells you are in effect removing a "barrier" which can potentially hinder the penetration of any topically applied products So any products applied after a peel will have a much better chance of penetration and will be more effective.
Secondly let us look at the different types of peels available.
Different peels work at different depths in the skin. I will give you some examples of the different types of peels on the market, who can perform them and which ingredients are used:
A superficial peel.
The superficial peel is most commonly performed by an Esthetician or Beauty Therapist, however, some medical professionals will also use this type of peel as they are very safe to use but still provide outstanding results. This type of peel affects the outer layers of skin, for example: the upper epidermal layers. The skin will not peel and there is no "down time". They are mostly performed as a six week program with the client having one peel each week for six weeks. The ingredients commonly used for this type of peel are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Unless there are any contra- indications, this type of peel suits all skin types, and will address most skin conditions and concerns.
A medium depth peel.
A medium depth peel needs to be performed by a medical professional and will go much deeper into the skin than a superficial peel. There will be "down time" and the client may need to stay home and take time off work. The skin will go through the peeling process. These type of peels are most commonly performed as either a one off treatment, or a short course depending upon which one is administered. The ingredients commonly use for this type of peel are TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid ) or Glycolic Acid.
A deep peel.
The deep peels such as a Phenol peel go very deep into the skin and are really only used in extreme cases of sun damage. The "down time" with this type of peel can be extensive and range from a few weeks to two months. These types of peels are hardly used any more as the skin is left extremely sensitive to UV rays.
After you have had a peel whether it is superficial, medium depth or deep it is important that you follow the aftercare advice provided by your skin care professional. Most skin care professionals will carefully recommend the correct homecare products for you to use and this must include the use of a good sunscreen, usually and SPf30 is sufficient.
There is a very important point that I would like to cover. I would like you to be aware of a vital point when undertaking any non surgical treatment - and it is this: you must remember that whatever professional treatment you decide to have - the results will only be as good as your homecare program. By this I mean that it is pointless investing time and money in good quality professional treatments if you go home and do not use a good quality effective skin care program such as a cosmeceutcal brand. Many people miss this vital key point when it comes to looking after their skin. Good quality home care with high levels of active ingredients will provide you with outstanding results when combined with skin peels. Of course you will get good results without the homecare - but if you would rather have outstanding results then combine the peels with a good long term cosmeceutical homecare program.
In a nutshell, skin peels are a safe, effective method of resurfacing the skin and helping the skin to look and behave much younger. The superficial peels are safe to use long term and once you have completed your course you can have a peel once a month as a maintenance facial. So whether your concern is to keep your skin looking young or to address a skin condition you can rest assured that a professional strength skin peel will provide you with the desired result.

Ignoring Tree Care Can Be Costly
Keep Your Property Beautiful
Tree trimming and landscaping maintenance is an issue every homeowner must face at some point. Many people choose their home partially based on the surrounding land and tree scape. With this comes the responsibility of caring for trees and vegetation on the property. Damaged, rotten or fallen limbs can occur quickly in the event of a storm, or over time based on tree care, environment conditions and age. To be prepared and ensure the beauty and health of one's property, homeowners need to understand why they may need the service of a professional arborist - and - what a responsible, licensed and expert tree service can do provide.
Ignorance is Bliss? Not!
Ignoring or putting-off tree care is never a good idea. For one, doing so can put your property and personal health in jeopardy. This isn't to scare homeowners into using a tree removal specialist, it simply a matter of fact and common-sense. If a tree or tree limb falls onto the home, a whole myriad of safety and financial problems can arise. Without proper attention, like services from a tree professional, limbs, branches and the tree itself will become weak, even to the point of falling and causing tremendous damage. Having a licensed, professional tree service expert estimate and service trees on your property is an important step to avoid such potentially damaging situations.
It's a Jungle Out There!
A second area of concern for most homeowners is overgrowth of existing trees and landscaping. Oftentimes, it is the beauty of a property that attracts us to buy. However, we learn quickly, maintaining this beauty is time-consuming, requires expensive equipment and itself can be dangerous. Add this to potential problems of a tree infringement on a neighbor's property, power line damage or root damage of water and sewer lines, even the home's foundation, and an owner's costs skyrocket. Hiring a licensed, bonded arborist to assess, advise and correct overgrowth problems will solve such financial dilemmas - or - alleviate uncomfortable situations with neighbors or neighborhood associations.
Understanding Your Homeowner's Policy
Nature, or what insurance companies call "acts of God" occur to damage or weaken trees and limbs, causing immediate concern. Lightning, wind, even heavy rains can make a perfectly healthy tree a liability. In some cases, clearing damaged trees and shrubs can take days or weeks, depending on the extent of damage. Check your homeowner's coverage in such cases, as hiring a tree damage specialist may be allowed or required by your insurance. To speed clean-up and ensure all remaining or hidden damage is known, hiring an arborist can also bring property owner's peace of mind.
DIY Doesn't Always Mean Saving Money!
Everyone is capable of performing basic tree, shrub and landscaping maintenance themselves. Taking down low unsightly limbs, pruning decorative bushes or picking up small to medium-sized tree branches is generally very safe and recommended for any homeowner for a property's upkeep. However, bigger jobs as described in this article are typically best performed by an expert in tree removal, landscaping and clean up.
Working with Tree Professionals
As with any skilled service, tree trimming companies are experienced and well-trained at cutting damaged or overgrown limbs, trees and vegetation. Their skill at ensuring a safe tree removal is most notably seen in directly the cut tree away from existing property, structure or other trees and landscaping. Also, when trimming trees, a skilled arborist brings years of knowledge of where to trim in order to enhance the health of the tree, and most important, to not "shock" the tree, causing even more unseen damage.
If you have more than basic tree, shrub or landscaping duties on your property and are ready to hire a professional tree service, it is critical to hire an individual or company that is fully insured. If your property is accidentally damaged during a tree, limb, stump or shrub removal, you and your property are fully covered for repairs. For do-it-yourselfers, such damage can result in homeowner's insurance issues, often requiring your to pay out-of-pocket for damages - or worse - a potential cancellation of your homeowner's policy. Hiring a licensed, bonded expert tree trimming service guarantees you don't have to worry.
A local tree service or highly trained arborist can help with any project. And, when you're faced with larger, potentially dangerous tree damage problems, a professional tree service is the smartest, safest decision for any homeowner. Furthermore, most reputable tree trimming and arborist services are fairly priced - and - always cheaper than the alternatives of property damage or personal injury.
