Learning More About Chemical Peels


If you have decided that chemical peels are right for your situation, you would benefit by learning the differences between the types of chemical peels available. There are a number of popular chemical peels on the market, and understanding the differences between them is important before selecting one.

An alpha-hydroxy or fruit peel is designed to remove a thin, fine layer of skin using the same ingredients found in tomato juice, sugar cane and sour milk. This mild acid peel is good for people with moderate or mild acne and is considered a very safe and easy alternative for people who have just started venturing into the world of chemical peels.

On the negative side, the effects of this peel do not last quite as long as some others on the market and this should be a factor in your final decision.

A beta-hydroxy acid peel is highly effective for acne-prone patients as it is derived from salicilin, which is a relative of aspirin.

Salicilin works to reduce inflammation in the skin and can improve the appearance of acne ridden skin. One of the main benefits of this type of peel is that there is less redness, peeling and scaling of the face than with alpha-hydroxy peels. However, this peel is not ideal for women who are nursing or pregnant, or those with aspirin allergies.

Jessner's Peel is a mild option that can significantly improve the effects of sun damage on the face. It may also help with hyperpigmentation, mild acne or clogged pores. It is, however, not ideal for those with very sensitive skin as it contains salicylic acid.

A phenol peel is the deepest peel available on the market and will achieve maximum possible exfoliation of the skin. Obviously, this peel is not recommended for all patients as the results can be extreme. Also, the phenol peel may not be right for darker tones.

Retinoic acid peels must be performed by a medical professional, rather than an aesthetician at a medi spa or other similar place as the peel is very deep and may even require anesthesia to make the patient completely comfortable during the procedure. This peel has a significant effect on the appearance of wrinkles but you will have to stay out of the sun for up to three months after the procedure.

Chemical peels come in many different formulations, strength levels and varieties, and the decision to have one should not be taken lightly. Be sure to discuss all your options with your doctor before moving forward.
