Chemical Peels and Your Skin

A chemical peel is a process that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin and gradually exfoliating the top layers. The regenerated skin is smoother. You may need to repeat the technique with a light or medium peel to achieve the desired results.

Chemical peels are typically used on the face to remove wrinkles, damaged skin, and scars. They can be performed on their own or in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments. They can also be done at various depths, ranging from light to deep. Chemical peels that are deeper in depth produce more dramatic results, but they also take longer to recover from.

There are a number of reasons people may get chemical peels. They may be trying to treat a variety of things, including:

• • • Wrinkles and fine lines
    • Acne & Pimples
    • Sun damage
    • Acne scars
    • Hyperpigmentation
    • Scars
    • Uneven skin tone or redness
    • Melasma

What kinds of chemical peels are available?

Peels that use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate the skin. It simply penetrates the skin’s top layer.

Medium peels, reach the intermediate and outer layers of the skin with trichloroacetic or glycolic acid. This improves its ability to remove damaged skin cells.

Deep peels, which use phenol or trichloroacetic acid to totally enter the middle layer of the skin and remove damaged skin cells.

Results to be expected:

Skin texture and tone are improved, and fine wrinkles are reduced, with a gentle chemical peel. The effects are mild at first, but they get better with time. The skin will be considerably smoother after a medium chemical peel. The look and feel of treated regions will dramatically improve after a deep chemical peel. The outcomes might not be permanent. Age and new sun damage can cause new wrinkles and skin color changes over time. The fresh skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun after any peel. Consult your doctor about how long you should keep your skin protected from the sun.
