Using either AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) can provide highly effective treatment to facial acne conditions ranging from mild to moderately severe. There are studies proving that both of these acid peels solution works for acne skin conditions.
Lesions caused by acne skin conditions may be effectively reduced with both beta-hydroxy acid and alpha hydroxyl acid. However, the chemical peel procedure that uses beta-hydroxy acid provides fewer side effects compared to chemical peeling with alpha hydroxy acid. The result with the use of beta-hydroxy lasted longer as well.
The medical term for the common facial acne is 'acne vulgaris'. This skin condition affects almost 85% of the population. Usually around the age of 12 to 24 is the most affected. The invention of the procedure has been the best solution to the million of people affected with 'acne vulgaris'. Options for acne treatment were widened with the creation of chemical peel procedure.
They provide light, moderate and deep types of peel. With innovative treatments, people suffering from mild, moderate, and moderately severe acne condition will be given appropriate treatments.
AHA or alpha hydroxyl acid is also called glycolic acid. AHA and BHA are often used to perform light chemical peels. Light skin peel procedures treat not only acne scars and lesion but wrinkles, fine lines, skin pigmentation and uneven-textured skin. The procedure involves removing the upper thin layer of the skin. This procedure allows the growth of new skin cells.
These two acids are organically-derived compounds. AHA contains an active ingredient which can be found in tomato juice, sugar cane and sour milk. BHA on the other hand is salicin-derived, an active ingredient found in aspirin.
The effectiveness of both acids is proven with actual studies and research. Patients who used chemical peels with acne scars and lesions can expect to see significant reduction within 2 weeks after the first treatment. With continued follow-up treatment, acne scars and lesions are reduced even more.
The common side effects of using AHA and BHA solutions include peeling, scaling and redness. The degree of peeling will very from the type of acid solution that was used in the procedure. Aside from AHA and BHA, there are other chemical acids used to treat more severe conditions of acne scars and lesions. Trichloroacetic acid or TCA and Phenol acid are much stronger type of acid solution that treats the most severe cases.

At the age of 15, my daughter developed acne problems until now she is 19 years old. We have consulted beauty centers but they have not been effective.
