CHEMICAL PEELS Clinic Delhi NCR
Chemical Peels
Sun exposure, acne or just getting older can
leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. If you
want your skin to look smoother and younger, consider a chemical
peel, which uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your
skin by removing the damaged outer layers.
A chemical peel, also called chemexfoliation
or derma peeling, is one of the least invasive ways to improve the
appearance of your skin. Although chemical peels are used mostly on
the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on your neck and
hands.
You can improve:
- Acne or acne scars
- Age and "liver" spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Freckles
- Irregular skin pigmentation
- Rough skin and scaly patches
- Scars
- Sun-damaged skin
CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the
texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It
is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and
uneven skin pigmentation. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and
alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are used for this purpose. The precise
formula used may be adjusted to meet each patient's needs. Although
chemical peel may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, it is
not a substitute for such surgery, nor will it prevent or slow the
aging process.
Chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons -- to
enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Chemical peel may
also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and
even control acne.
Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids
are the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels. These
types of peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for
people who can't spare the time to recover from a phenol or TCA
peel. AHA peels may be used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of
dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Various concentrations of an
AHA may be applied weekly or at longer intervals to obtain the best
result. Your doctor will make this decision during your consultation
and as the treatment proceeds. An alphahydroxy acid, such as
glycolic acid, can also be mixed with a facial wash or cream in
lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care regimen to
improve the skin's texture.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can be used in many concentrations, but
it is most commonly used for medium-depth peeling. Fine surface
wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems are commonly
treated with TCA. The results of TCA peel are usually less dramatic
than and not as long-lasting as those of a phenol peel. In fact,
more than one TCA peel may be needed to achieve the desired result.
The recovery from a TCA peel is usually shorter than with a phenol
peel.
All chemical peels carry some uncertainty and risk. Chemical peel is
normally a safe procedure when it is performed by a qualified,
experienced plastic surgeon. However, some unpredictability and
risks such as infection and scarring, while infrequent, are
possible.
AHA peels may cause stinging, redness, irritation and crusting.
However, as the skin adjusts to the treatment regimen, these
problems will subside.
With a TCA peel, your healed skin will be able to produce pigment as
always; the peel will not bleach the skin. However, TCA-peel
patients are advised to avoid sun exposure for several months after
treatment to protect the newly formed layers of skin. Even though
TCA is milder than phenol, it may also produce some unintended color
changes in the skin.

Preparing For Your Chemical Peel:
Sometimes Retin A - a prescription medication derived from Vitamin A
- is used to pre-treat the skin. This thins out the skin's surface
layer, allowing the TCA solution to penetrate more deeply and
evenly. If your skin won't tolerate Retin-A pre-treatment, an AHA
cream may be used instead. Hydroquinone, a bleaching agent, is
sometimes used in conjunction with Retin-A or AHA pre-treatment,
especially if you have blotchy skin areas or pigmentation problems.
You may have to spend a month or more in the pre-treatment phase
before the doctor will schedule your actual peel.
