What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a process in which an acid solution is used to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. Physicians use alpha hydroxy acids (AH), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or phenol to the skin.
Treatment is suggested according to the depth of the wound or scar on the skin. The damaged skin reestablishes from the deeper layers of the epidermis and forms the external part of the skin.
Types:
Depending on the damage of the skin chemical peeling is categorized into:
Benefits:
After peel, providing skin care products for use at home are more effective because a peel can clean up several layers of skin build-up and congestion, allowing products to immerse deeper into the skin.
Risks:
Chemical peels rarely bring in severe consequences, but certain problems do exist. These are scarring, infection, swelling, changes in skin tone, and cold sore outbreaks. You can minimize the complications associated with facial peels by following all instructions properly and by providing your entire medical history.
