A chemical peel is a treatment that is used to improve and smooth the facial skin using a chemical solution. This solution causes the skin to blister and eventually peel off. It is usual for the regenerated skin to be smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
If you wish to diminish your wrinkles and possess younger looking skin, then chemical peels may just be the answer to your prayers. This is an inexpensive procedure and an alternative to cosmetic surgery, which may give you exactly the same results.
One of three different chemicals-phenols, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are used in chemical peels. The type of chemical used for you personally depends entirely upon how deeply you wish the peel to penetrate into your skin.
The deepest penetration of the skin layer comes from the phenol chemical peels. This can be used in order to assist in the removal of blemishes and precancerous growths, as well as to diminish deep wrinkles. This treatment is also effective on sun damaged skin. The facial area is the only possible area to use this treatment as it can lead to permanent scarring on other body parts. It is essential that people that have undergone this treatment avoid exposure to the sun for the foreseeable future.
The trichloroacetic acid (TCA) type of chemical peels is utilized when only medium-depth penetration is desired. This treatment is effective on surface blemished, fine wrinkles, and pigmentation problems. There is a side effect from this treatment, which is the discoloration of the treated area, even though this is generally temporary. The sun should be avoided for several weeks after this procedure has taken place.
The alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) chemical peels are the mildest form that there is. These acids are identical to the ones that can be found in the peel kits that can be used at home. This particular type of chemical peel works on the outer level of the skin layer. Irritation, burning, and pain may be some of the side effects that are experienced after this treatment. However, these symptoms will pass once the skin has healed.
Any individual can have smoother and younger looking skin when using chemical peels. This treatment is also less expensive and does not have the added risks that are generally associated with cosmetic surgical procedures.
