Chemical Face Peel

March 4, 2009




chemical-face-peelUsing chemical solution to improve the texture of the skin on face and repair the damaged outer layer is known as chemical face peel. The new skin when formed is smoother and has fewer wrinkles and is even in color. This is particularly helpful for those who suffer from wrinkles, facial blemishes and pigmentation.

Several kinds of acidic solutions are used in the chemical peel. The most popular ones are AHAs (Alpha hydroxyl acids), TCA (trichloroacetic acids) and phenol.  The AHA peels provide a smooth, bright looking skin and are meant for people who are in a hurry. The Phenol or TCA peels when used need recovery time. TCA is utilized for medium-depth peeling for fine wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation problems.

Benefits

This peel produces radiant younger looking skin.

Stronger peels are effective in treating extreme wrinkling caused by excessive exposure to sun light.

Removes stretch marks effectively.

Clean out blackheads and whiteheads.

Can be used to treat brown spots and freckles.

Pigmentation too can be prevented by using chemical peels.

Blemished skin which is dead and dry in texture and color can be improved.

Effects of chemical face peel

Initially the skin may react to the chemical substances and cause flaking and scaling or dryness and redness. The conditions would normally disappear as the treatment continues and the skin gets adjusted .

Skin feels taut like it is exposed to sunlight or harsh winds for some time. Some skins may peel on the outer layer. Moisturizing the skin with suitable cream and using sunscreen lotions while going outside should take care of this problem.

Using stronger peels makes the skin lose pigment. Hence protection against sun will become a necessity.

Before undergoing the treatment, one should understand that chemical peeling will not help remove deep scars. The treatment session lasts for about 30-45 minutes.

There is quick recovery and it causes less discomfort. The chemical peel method of treatment is costlier and depends on the area that needs treatment.

It is always advisable to consult a dermatologist before trying this treatment to avoid any untoward incidents.
