Chemical Peel: Harmless And Happy Way To Flawless, Vibrant Skin!

Want a glowing, beautiful skin? Fear not. The dermatologists have brought a new solution to get back that flawless skin beneath the wrinkles and blemishes, and it is called Chemical Peel! So, you do not mush about them? Well, to take away all your dilemmas related to Chemical Peel and help you make a sensible choice, we are answering a few frequently asked questions.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical Peel is a skin rejuvenation treatment where qualified dermatologists apply Hydroxy acids (AHA), Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or phenol to the skin.  These chemicals blister off the top layer of the skin and the new layer beneath, which becomes visible, is usually wrinkle free and has a smooth texture. During the peel some patients may feel a burning sensation that lasts for five to ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. These can be controlled by cooling off the area or even taking mild painkillers.

What are the areas, they work upon?

They help to renew the facial skin, getting rid of scars, blemishes, wrinkles, acne and acne marks.

In addition to full face rejuvenation, some chemical peels also help in spot reduction or stretch marks removal from other body parts.

The best candidate considered for these treatment are fair skinned and light haired. Dark skinned people can also go for these treatments but they will have to settle for little lesser results.

For severe skin sags, bulges and deep wrinkles you might want to check in with your dermatologic surgeon for an alternative treatment. After all, everything is possible in today’s world.

Why consider Chemical Peels?

We, in today’s world care a lot about how we look. After all, our looks make us comfortable being ourselves and make us confident in who we are. With the advent of scientific innovations in medical arena, now it has become possible to get the appearance that we always desired. Chemical Peels are one such scientific boon which helps to regain the lost vibrancy of skin.

  • Treating acne
  • Reducing age spots, freckles and dark spots
  • Improving the look and the texture of skin

What are the types of Chemical Peels?

There are 3 main types available categorized as superficial, medium, and deep.

  • Superficial peels do not damage skin below the epidermis, the most superficial skin layer.
  • Medium peels may reach to the superficial layer of the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin.
  • Deep peels generally reach the deeper layers of the dermis.

Depending upon your condition the skin specialistat Skinnovation Clinics would suggest the required and most suitable peel. But, it’s a slow process which requires patience for the results to finally start appearing. Sometimes it may take months for the results to become visible.

Few things to remember before and after treatment:

  • After medium and superficial peels, the skin looks absolutely normal and much better than before.
  • After deep peels, the skin looks whiter, smoother, with an appearance of porcelain. A little less natural.
  • You must avoid sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment.
  • Avoid make-up for a week, or if you must, apply mild, good quality makeup after few hours of treatment.
  • You can resume work the next day after a superficial peel. The noticeable change in skin will be gradual.
  • In case of a medium or deep peel, where the quantity of Trichloroacetic acid is more, the peeling is deeper, redness and burns are little more severe. Hence, it is advisable to return to routine activities revolving around face, only after a week’s rest.
  • The overall Chemical Peel treatment takes only about few minimal hours and does not interfere with your day’s routine.
  • Anyone over the age of 30 can benefit from chemical peels.
