Chemical Peel: 7月 2012

Do Chemical Peels Work? Maybe

If you've been wondering do chemical peels work, you've probably started researching the topic to learn more about them. Basically, these facial peels work by applying chemicals to your face and "burning" the top layer of skin until it blisters and peels off. Yep, it's a harsh treatment.

As you might know, some of the most common reasons people do this is to reduce wrinkles, even out their skin tone and get rid of blemishes.

There are 3 Main Levels of Chemical Peel:

1-The lightest peel is made with Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs). You may need to do this multiple times to get the result you want.

2-The medium level is called Trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It's for surface wrinkles and blemishes. It has a longer recovery time that the AHA peel-7-10 days. And, you might have to repeat the procedure a few times to get the result you want.

3- The phenol peel is the deepest peel and therefore gives the most dramatic result. The recovery time can be 10 days or a bit more.

You Can't Have Just One

With all of these peels, you have to repeat the process periodically because your skin is alive and keeps regenerating itself.

If you know anyone who's had a chemical peel, or you've read extensively about them, the results say, "yes, they can work." If you're the right type of candidate.

Lighter skin often responds more favorably than darker skin. (That's because the peeling process can lighten skin and this can result in darker skin being blotchy.)

It can be painful and you may need pain medication afterwards. Plus, you might want to consult your schedule. You don't want your High School reunion or an important meeting to fall right in the middle of your recovery period.

It's important to have realistic expectations. A chemical peel isn't a magic wand and you should discuss your expectations with your doctor so you're fully informed and not disappointed after the process.

Effective Alternatives

Of course, there are alternatives to these expensive and time consuming procedures. If you're using certain ingredients in your skincare, you may not want to go the route of the chemical peel.

Collagen boosting ingredients like active manuka honey can increase your youthful collagen cells so your skin looks tighter and younger. Scientists at New Zealand's Waikato University found it can reduce blemishes and heal skin conditions too.

Then there's the potent Japanese sea kelp like phytessence wakame. Known as "the Fountain of Youth" in some circles, this potent seaweed will increase your levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) so your skin stays young looking.

Both of these ingredients are also moisturizers to nourish and enrich your skin.

Do chemical peels work? They can, but so can good quality skincare--cheaper and easier. Why not visit my website now to learn more about top ingredients proven to keep your skin looking young.

Chemical Peeling At Home - What You Need to Know

If you want to give your skin a "refreshed" look you may be able to achieve that with chemical peeling at home. However, if you want a deeper "got rid of my wrinkles" look, the at home peel may not work for you since they vary in intensity and the ones that give you dramatic results should be performed by a specialist.

Over all, chemical peels can help your skin to have a younger appearance. They can get rid of light blemishes and generally give your skin a fresher look.

How to Do the Peel at Home:

If you want to "do it yourself" at home, you can use an AHA peel to speed up your natural exfoliation process and rejuvenate your skin. The results may be similar to a good cleansing and mask treatment, you'll notice your skin feels cleaner and your skin may look a bit tighter.

The at home treatments are mild. They will target your epidermis and maybe the layer just below your epidermis.

1- Cleanse your face thoroughly before applying the peel.

2- Apply it first on a small area of your skin to make sure you don't have an unpleasant reaction. If you notice an intense burning, get rid of it. It will likely sting a bit but shouldn't be painful.

3- Leave it on for 10-15 minutes or however long it tells you too.

4- Remove carefully and follow with a good moisturizer.

The Truth About Chemical Peels

It's not a magic pill. When it goes well, a light peel can make your skin look rejuvenated. If you're looking to get rid of deep wrinkles or scars, you might need to discuss peels with a specialist.

But it's not for everyone. A peel will not make your pores smaller. It can remove blackheads and deep clean your skin. It also will not get rid of blood vessels on your face.

The results show chemical peels can lighten your skin. Especially the deeper peels. If your skin is dark, you may want to skip the peels altogether as the result can be blotchy skin.

It's not a facelift. Chemical peeling at home is pretty mild. If you want more dramatic results you should consult a professional. But it's still not a facelift. That's a completely different process.

Maintain Young Looking Skin

You can maintain young looking skin without having a peel or after you've tried chemical peeling at home. Certain ingredients in your skincare that will rejuvenate your cells nourish your skin so it stays healthy and looks fresh.

Now that you're armed with this information, why not visit my website to learn more about effective ingredients that may slow aging.

Popular Acne Treatment - Light Chemical Peels

Light chemical peels belong to the list of the most popular acne treatment methods offered by estheticians and dermatologists. Since this is a non-invasive procedure, there is really no downtime for this treatment. Light chemical peels can be done in an hour and you won't have to take a rest or get a day off after the procedure. That is probably why most people often refer to this method as "lunchtime peels". You can get the procedure during your lunch break and then return to work right after.

How the procedure works

Light chemical peels do not really result to skin peels. Instead, the procedure just promotes rapid skin exfoliation. This way, the skin can generate new cells and shed off its dead skin cells more rapidly. As the procedure gets rid of the dead skin cells and the excess oil in the skin, the pores will not clog up and bacteria cannot accumulate in the follicles.

Most of the time, the dermatologist or physician will use glycolic acid as a peeling agent. This acid is one of the most popular forms of AHA or alpha hydroxyl acids. AHAs are made from sugar cane and these acid components work effectively as acne treatment materials. Aside from AHAs, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are also achieving utmost popularity.

Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) pretty much function in the same way as AHAs. These ingredients can dissolve the oil and dirt that clogs up the pores of the skin. According to clinical trials and studies, BHAs also have fewer side effects. The most common form of BHA used for light chemical peels is the salicylic acid.

Preparing for the treatment

Many dermatologists will ask their patients to use a special moisturizer two weeks prior to the treatment period. Some will also prescribe the use of a special cleanser. Topical treatments may also be used. The most common of which is retinoid. These steps are made so your skin becomes more sensitive to the effects of the chemical peel.

What to expect during the procedure

During the procedure, the infected area should be thoroughly cleansed. Once the area has been dried, the clinician will apply the peeling agent. This substance which is almost water like, should be applied in small amounts. This exfoliating agent will be applied using a cotton pad or a small brush. Once it is applied on your face, you will feel a warming sensation with slight stings. In other cases, the peeling acid can bring about a "burning" feeling. The acid will be left on your face for 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of your acne problem. On the average, most will leave it for ten minutes.

After 10 minutes, the peel with then be removed through the use of a neutralizing agent and cold water. If you need a full facial treatment, you will have to undergo a soothing mask application, a facial massage and toning. Some patients can also opt for light moisturizing since the peeling procedure can dry out the skin.

After the light chemical peel, the treated skin will look like it's sunburned. Fortunately, this redness will fade in just a few hours. However, in some cases, the redness can last for five days. During this time, you can use makeup to conceal it. But, if the redness persists for more than a week, you should immediately consult with your doctor right away.

What Happens After a Chemical Peel?

For many people looking to improve the look of their skin, a chemical peel is something that is investigated. But, what happens after a chemical peel? Before we look at what you can do, I'll provide some basic information on what happens during a peel.

You can get this procedure done in a clinic by a professional or there are some do it yourself kits available as well. The at home kits are not as potent as the professionally done procedures.

A chemical peel is applied to the face with a brush. It goes to work at removing dead skin cells so that new fresher looking skin can replace it.

By removing the dead cells and allowing new skin cells to develop, your face should look and feel more youthful a week or so after this procedure.

Keep in mind that depending on the strength of the chemical used in the peel, you could experience skin that is quite pink and sensitive for awhile. The feeling has been described as having sunburn on your face as the skin feels tight and will peel for a few days after the peel.

While the skin is peeling, apply a natural moisturizer to help prevent your skin from drying out. But what should you do afterwards? For one thing, keep applying the moisturizer. A good natural moisturizer is good after a chemical peel or at any time for that matter,.

Another thing you can do to prolong the effects of the peel is to use a good natural eye cream on a regular basis as well. This is because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin on your face and it shows age sooner than any other area, thus it makes sense to pay special attention to this area.

Should You Use Sunblock?

First of all, right after the peel you should be avoiding the sun because your skin will be too sensitive. However, afterwards you should be using a good sun screen to help protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. You don't want to waste the effects of the peel either.

Now, why use a natural moisturizer as opposed to a regular brand name chemical based product? Chemical based products are just not as safe as a good natural cream. You might as well follow up after the chemical peel by using an effective natural moisturizer otherwise it won't be long before your skin has reverted back to its before peel look.

A Chemical Peel - the Best Choice for Your Skin

If you are having trouble with your skin and getting tired of inefficient lotions you shouldn't think of 'face transplant' or spending the rest of your days in a dark room. There is a better solution at hand.

Have you heard of chemical peels?

They are those peels that go deep into the skin and repair every single imperfection they can find. Does it sound like a fairy-tale? Well, it may but it certainly isn't. This efficient treatment can improve your complexion by dealing with a wide range of conditions: sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, dry skin areas, blackheads, pimples and the much-hated women's enemies - wrinkles.

The chemical peels that a woman can use on her own come in two basic categories: light peels and medium peels. The peels in the first category don't show very significant results with serious skin conditions. They are mostly used by those women whose faces are young and good-looking and from time to time only need slight improvements to their skin; skin must be 'refreshed' once in a while and cleaned more deeply that the ordinary face wash or scrub can do.

Medium peels are rather different than light peels. Due to their chemical composition, they are stronger than the light peels and perform better and deeper cleaning to your face. These peels include TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and salicylic acids. They are known to have the desired effect upon all the above-mentioned categories of skin. After using such a peel for the first time you will notice a reduction of your sun-damaged, dry or wrinkled areas and acne has a good chance to go away for good after two or three such treatments.

Chemical peels are not dangerous to use; you only have to be careful when you start using them because you don't know what kind of skin you have and in what way it might react. To feel safe, you should start with a light peel and after a while (about a month), when your skin has got used to this kind of treatment, you may try the medium type. It will bring much better results than the light peel.

One more thing to remember: protect your skin with a strong sun-screen lotion after using a chemical peel!

An effective chemical peel [http://www.3amed.co.uk/celebrity-perfect-skin-face-celebrity-perfect-skin-35.html] will give you better looking skin, take years off your age and reduce most skin problems you may have including acne, freckles, un-even skin, un-even pigmentation, age and liver spots.

Acne Chemicals Peels: Decide if they are Right for You

Teenagers and adults alike suffer from acne. This is a common skin problem where pimples cause the skin to break out. Blackheads and whiteheads on the face are also considered as acne, as well as the deep lumps or nodules that affect the skin.

The area that is most commonly affected by acne is the face. However, it can also be found on other parts of the body, like the back, chest, neck, shoulders and the upper arms.

Being a common skin condition, there are several over-the-counter products that you can use to help prevent acne. The problem, however, is they do not always work.

Depending on a person's skin type, being affected by acne might be a more serious problem, and the pimples, if not properly treated, could cause a permanent scar.

Aside from the physical scars that could be left by acne, it can also cause you an emotional scar if you do not get proper treatment. Having acne decreases one's morale and self-confidence. Society's obsession with beauty might cause you to treat acne like a rare disease, instead of it being a treatable and normal skin condition.

Having clear and acne-free skin is one that we all strive for. Fortunately, there are hundreds of ways to get rid of acne. Aside from the bottled formula promising to give you that flawless look, there are also some medical treatments that you can undergo to help prevent acne.

'Acne Chemical Peels 101'

Plastic surgery and face lift are just some of the remedies available to restore your youthful look.

If you do not want to be 'under the knife' and you prefer a much kinder treatment to enhance your beauty, one option is to have a chemical peel.

Chemical peels remove the outer layer of the skin where the damaged outer skin layers lie. This damage to the outer skin layer can be caused by exposure to sun and dirt, as well as applying cosmetics on the face.

Here, a chemical solution is applied on the affected area to literally 'peel off' the outer skin layer. Thus, a whole new layer of skin comes out which gives you that rosy look and youthful glow.

Basically, there are three types of chemical peel.

First is the mild peel which only removes the very first layer of the skin. This is the type of chemical peel that can be used to treat acne. It also helps get rid of old pimple scars and basically evens out the skin.

The second type is the medium peel which goes a little deeper than the mild peel. The treatment will cause redness and chafing immediately after the procedure. The result is a younger look because it helps remove wrinkles and evens out your skin pigmentation.

Finally, there is the deep chemical peel which is rarely used because it removes several skin layers. Consult a dermatologist before considering to undergo this treatment.

All in all, chemical peels are a great way to get rid of acne. This is an inexpensive, yet effective and simple procedure to finally remove those acne scars and have a clear, beautiful skin that you can be proud of.

What Can I Expect During A Chemical Peel? Remove Blemishes And Wrinkles

A chemical peel is expected to correct the blemishes and the problems of the skin of a person's face. It is expected to remove wrinkles and scars, correct blotched or colorless patches.

It is a process by which the exposed layer of the skin of the face is removed by using a chemical solution, which is then replaced by fresh and new skin. This new skin is expected to be problem free and much better than the earlier skin. In short, a chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smoothen the texture of the facial skin by removing the external damaged layers.

Facial blemishes, uneven pigmentation lines and wrinkles can be treated with this method.

Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol are the three acids commonly used for this procedure. Though the end result is the same, they act in different ways. AHA is mild and gentle while phenol is the strongest. The doctor decides the line of treatment after diagnosing the problem and studying the medical history of the patient.

The face of the patient is scrubbed clean and the chosen chemical is applied. It may cause a stinging feeling, or irritation or mild pain. But this will soon pass. The patient may be asked to stop using some medicines that he has been using if they are suspected to be capable of interfering in the treatment. He may be asked to stop smoking. The treatment may take half an hour to two hours depending upon the chemical used and the amount of area to be treated. No anesthesia or sedation is needed nor is hospitalization needed.

Once the procedure is over, the doctor may apply sterile gauze on the face to protect it. Some cream may also be applied. If there is any swelling or pain, the doctor will prescribe some medicine. If treated with phenol, there may be more swelling but it will go away soon. The skin will then crust and peel off. The new skin will emerge. It may be red in color and fade to pink in a few days. After some time the skin may regain its original color minus the problems. The patient can then resume wok with a younger and fresher face than before.

Some chemical peel need to be used only once, others may need several procedures. Sometimes, an acid treated cream used once or twice daily is enough to cure some problems of the face.

Chemical Peel Treatment

You find almost each every woman combating for a glowing and younger skin by any mean and at any cost. In fact, having a dark skin complexion means low confident as compared to those having a fair and flawless skin. This is due to ads on electronic media making them to realize that fair complexion is the basic qualification to success and the dark skin complexion is a hurdle in their way to achieve success in job, popularity, fame, spouse and fame. They start struggling hard to be the best for their lover. There are many different techniques for becoming beautiful and having fair complexion beginning from cream or lotion and moving on to laser therapy, other therapies or finally high cost cosmetic surgery, opting for a chemical peel treatment, undoubtedly is a better choice.

It now can be performed easily in a plastic surgeon's clinic, a nursing home or in hospital's outpatient department. The surgeon may use local or general anesthesia seeking patient's will. Usually sedatives are widely administered before the chemical peel treatment to make it painless. The patients feel relaxed and comfortable during the treatment. Normally, the face is properly cleaned before the doctor applies a selected chemical to the patient's face. He might apply it for more than once to get the best results. In case there are complications, the doctor may hold patient to observe overnight.

The recovery time after the procedure depends on its type and the complexity of the procedure. For example, a strong treatment will always need a longer recovery period. Meanwhile the patient will have to apply a recommended face wash or a prescribed medicated cream regularly for long after the procedure.

Reasons to have a Chemical Peel Treatment

There are three main types light, medium and deep peel. You can have any one for many reasons like if you have age spots, dull complexion, uneven skin pigmentation, blemishes, acne scars, wrinkles, pre-cancerous growth etc. They in fact are very versatile and can be opted as a solution for all problems stated. They are famous for giving result and also for their effectiveness. They are more affordable to common people having skin problems. The recovery of the procedure depends on the type of the peel performed and the complexity of the procedure. For example, a strong chemical peel treatment will require always a longer recovery period. The patient will be advised to apply a recommended face wash or a prescribed medicated cream regularly for long after the procedure. Many different techniques for becoming more beautiful and having fairer complexion starting from a cream or lotion and moving on to laser therapy, other therapies or finally high cost cosmetic surgery, opting for a simple chemical peel is a better choice.

I don't mean to say that it can do miracles of removing wrinkles absolutely or it can eliminate deep sags or remove bulges of face. Only laser resurfacing or plastic surgery would do that.

I strongly believe that some new trends are outstanding, amazing and unbelievable!

Chemical Peels For Age Spots - Examining The Pros And Cons And Looking For Less Painful Options

If you think that chemical peels for age spots are a possible solution to your problem, then you can opt for this treatment and you will probably be happy with the results. However there are certain disadvantages which you should consider before you agree. You should also consider what other options are available.

First let us look at the disadvantages of chemical peels for age spots:

• Cost -some chemical peels can cost between $500 to $1,500

• Skin recovery time can vary but basically the peel burns the skin

• The operation may have to be repeated to maintain lasting results

• Eyes may swell up and close during recovery

• Pain and discomfort are features of all types of peels and will vary

• Risks of scarring, irritation, herpes and other problems are a possibility.

Next, let us look at what is happening to the skin. The peels act to strip away the damaged and sun damaged skin and most of the age spots too. This then encourages skin cell renewal to take place and fresher, younger looking skin is the result. But results will vary of course, depending on the depth of the peel and your skin type too.

Let us look at the three types peel on offer at the moment:

• Light peel uses glycolic acids or alpha hydroxyl acids from fruit.

• Medium peel uses trichloracetic acid (TCA)

• Deep peels use phenol acid.

You may be frightened or worried about such treatment and begin to wonder if there is an alternative to chemical peels for age spots.

Fortunately there is and some remarkably safe ingredients have been used with great success to lighten age spots, smooth skin tone and color and at the same time kick start skin cell renewal and encourage collagen and HA growth.

Let us have a quick look at the age spots problem and see what ingredients can really do the job without any pain, risks to our health or downtime. The best one contains all natural ingredients such as cyperene and b-pinine and a-cyperol which all go to make up a natural oil found in the nutgrass plant. This can lighten the pigmentation of the skin and also help to reduce age spots and give the whole skin a much more even tone and color.

Imagine adding this to other ingredients which are powerful antioxidants and a functional type of keratin called Xtend TK and you have a winning formula to solve all your skincare problems in one go.

Why bother with the trauma of burning your skin with chemical peels for age spots when you can leave it to Mother Nature to look after everything and there is absolutely no pain! Why not check out exactly what these ingredients can do for your age spots by visiting my website.

Save your time and money by knowing what you are buying. If you are tired of the same old worthless products that fail to live up to their promises, isn't it time you took action? Discover some really effective ingredients used in cutting edge products instead of chemical peels.

Chemical Peels Help With Acne

Acne is a bane of adolescence and youthfulness. It spoils the face of the person, making a person self-conscious which results in lack of confidence and boldness. Many teenagers and young adults suffer from pimples. Almost eighty five percent people in the age group of eighteen to twenty four suffer from acne vulgaris. There are medicines to cure it but a chemical peel is used to treat the scars left behind by pimples.

A chemical peel acts by removing the upper skin and letting a new skin merge. This new skin may not possess and repeat all the problems of the original skin. Many types of chemicals are used in a chemical peel. It depends on the severity of the condition to be treated and the decision of both the patient and the doctor.

Alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) or beta hydroxyl acid (BHA) is used to treat the facial acne effectively. Studies have shown that mild to moderately severe can be treated with these two acid peels. Lesions cause by pimples can be effectively reduced using these two acids for the chemical peel. Some doctors prefer using beta hydroxyl acid rather than alpha hydroxyl acid as it is reported that the former has fewer side effects than the latter and the result of the former lasts linger.

Young people regard chemical peel as the best solution for pimples, the common facial acne. By using these two acids, a light skin peel is performed which also improves the fine wrinkles, fine pigmentation and lines. Uneven textured skin or discolored skin also improves with this treatment. In this type of chemical peel the upper thin layer of the skin is removed and new one grows in its place.

Both acids have proven to be very effective according to research made. These acids are organically derived. AHA contains an active ingredient, which is also found in tomato juice, sour milk and sugarcane. BHA is salicin derived which is an active ingredient found in aspirin.

The treatment takes just about an hour or two. The patient may feel a slight stinging sensation when the acid is first applied. After the treatment the patient might see redness, scaling and peeling of the skin on her face. These go away soon and the skin that emerges glows and free from zits. The doctor will cover the parts of the face that has been treated with some Vaseline based ointment and a sterile gauze. The patient may be asked to lightly wash her face with dilute vinegar or saline. She can also use ice packs if she fears that there may be swelling or burning. Within a few days the glowing skin will be worth all the trouble.

Dermabrasion and Chemicals Peels to Improve the Appearance of Your Skin

Over time, age spots and other imperfections can appear on your skin. These can make you look older before your time. Today, thanks to dermabrasion and chemical peel treatments you can clear many of these imperfections on the skin. Imperfections are no fun to have they can make you self-conscious about the way you look.

Dermatologist and other skin professionals can perform these treatments to remove age spots and other issues in a clinical setting. Many times, you will need more than one treatment to clear up your particular skin issue. This has to be decided by the professional you turn to for these procedures.

The Dermabrasion Procedure

Dermabrasion is a controlled method of surgical scraping. It is performed with a diamond wheel or wire brush to smooth the rough edges on the top layers of your skin. This damages the skin enough for it to have to heal. During the healing process new, smoother skin forms. This skin must be well protected at first for it is delicate.

This procedure is highly effective in removing sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and scars from injuries or operations. It also can remove keratosis, which can be pre-cancerous growths. Severe acne scars can treat successfully with this process. Dermabrasion is performed on the face or small sections of your skin. It is often combined with other skin treatments such as chemical peels or facelifts.

How the Procedure is Performed

The skin where the procedure is going to be performed in cleaned. This local anesthetic is administered for your comfort. A cryogenic spray or ice is applied to firm up the skin. If large areas get this procedure you might even get sedated before the professional proceeds. It depends on how deep the abrasions are on your skin. One section at a time is treated at a time to remove age spots, wrinkles or whatever your issue is that this procedure will help diminish or remove.

Healing Time

Recovery time depends on how large of an area is treated. Typically, you will see new skin growth within about a week. It will be pinkish or reddish in color that slowly fades over the next month to three months. You can use makeup on the skin to make it look your normal tone.

Microdermabrasion Procedure

Microdermabrasion is a less invasive treatment for refinishing the skin than dermabrasion is. With this procedure, the top layer of skin is sloughed off to stimulate new skin growth. This helps the skin produce more collagen, which helps to smooth out wrinkles. Age spots can also be helped with this procedure. Unlike dermabrasion, there is no downtime to recover.

Chemical Peel Treatments

Chemical peel treatments come in various strengths depending on what is needed to treat your particular skin problem. These peels are ideal for treating fine wrinkles, age spots, blemishes or evening out pigmentation in the skin. It has some success with certain acne scars, removing pre-cancerous growths and can even help treat acne. The chemicals used in these peels are various acids that have been deemed safe for skin treatments. Alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid are some common ones used in this process. These are mild enough to use at home. However, they could also be used in professional treatments.

Another acid that is used is beta hydroxy acid such as salicylic acid. This acid is a common ingredient in acne solutions for one thing. Salicylic acid is another mild one that can also be used in clinical settings.

The strongest type of peel is the phenol peel. This type of peel has to be applied by a professional because it has the ability to remove even deep wrinkles not just age spots.

The Procedure

The skin is cleaned prior to the chemical peel being applied. If it is one of the stronger peels, local anesthetic may be called for along with pain meds. The acids are then applied to the area, and left on for a certain length of time depending on what is needed to achieve the results. You could feel a burning during this time. At times, cool compresses are used to relieve this feeling.

Chemical Peel Reactions

The skin usually turns red after a chemical peel as with sunburn. Then the scaling starts and lasts for up to seven days. With the stronger peels, more severe reactions can happen Mild peels can be repeated closer together than the harsher peels. Check with a professional to see how often you should have a peel for your particular skin concern.

After any of the peels, you should avoid sun exposure because the exposed new skin is quite tender and could be easily damaged. Your dermatologist or other skin specialist will tell you how to care for your skin during this time.

Risks

Chemical peels could cause color changes to the skin depending on the skin type you have sometimes these could be permanent. Some scarring could occur; but this is usually treatable. For a comprehensive list of risks you should always seek advice from your doctor.

Benefits of Chemical peels

Chemical peels could prevent you from having to have the surgical dermabrasion or other more invasive skin treatments for your wrinkle, age spots or other skin imperfections. Of course, it does depend how deep your imperfections run into the skin as to whether the chemical peels can be successful.

Consult with a Dermatologist or Other Skin Specialist

To see which one of these treatments would benefit your skin the most, consult with a dermatologist or other skin specialist. They are the people that would know if the chemical peels are an effective solution or if you need to have dermabrasion performed.

No one likes to have scars, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots or other imperfections on their skin, whether they are on the face or other parts of their body. You probably feel the same way about your skin. Today, it is easier than ever to be treated for any of these conditions.

Chemical Peels For Acne Scars - Benefits, Risks and Side Effects

There are several treatments to get rid of acne scars and chemical peels are one of the most recommended options by dermatologists. But is it safe and risk-free?

This procedure involves acid being applied to the troubled area to burn away the very top layer of the skin until it is able to be peeled off. When the burnt skin is removed, a new healthier layer is visible. The new skin has a smoother, fresher and clearer appearance.

There is no doubt that chemical peels are successful to eliminate acne scars, skin texture and tone. However, there isn't only good news when it comes to these procedures. Many people that have tried this option have also experienced bad consequences.

Anyone that has chemical peels done will have to go through a recovery time. The time it takes to recover depends on the harshness of the treatment and how it is administrated. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment, you should expect a longer recovery and healing time. Improvement will always depend on how well your skin deals with the treatment, but for deep chemical peels, it's usually everything from 5 days to 4 weeks. If you are all about the lighter version, you still need to consider the recovery time. In fact, all the persons considering any type of chemical peel have to expect some degree of redness, peeling, swelling and soreness.

These procedures aren't a one time thing either. The process of completely clearing your skin from imperfections with chemical peels can become quite inconvenient because it often takes more than one visit to see real results.

In addition to the price, recovery, and time inconvenience, this treatment is associated with a variety of side effects. Hypopigmentation and Hyperpigmentation are one of the most common side effects.

Milder but Effective Options to Rid Acne Scars

If you are concerned about side effects, it's better to go for milder yet effective options to remove scars. One of the most effective treatments for acne scars is actually microdermabrasion and you can use this option in the comfort of your home.

Microdermabrasion creams have the same benefits as chemical peels and you should expect to have a smoother, brighter and healthier looking complexion. The only downside with this product is that it takes longer to see results.

Take a closer look at some natural skin care treatments for acne scars without side effects.

Chemical Peel Facial - Your Guide to the Five Most Popular Peels

There are different types of chemical peel facial you can receive from an esthetician. In this article, you will learn the five most popular peels and their benefits.

The most popular would be glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from sugar cane. This peel is often used by estheticians in percentage of 10-30 percent to dissolve the desmosomes between cells to exfoliate the skin.

When used in smaller percentages, this peel is great for an immediate healthy glow and refreshed look. Over a period of peels, glycolic acid can help improve uneven skin color and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and minimize the appearance of acne scars and blemishes.

Salicylic Acid Peel is becoming a popular peeling agent for oily skin and acne. The peels works immediately to dissolve oil and improve acne conditions. When used over time, it helps to even out skin texture and minimize the appearance of acne scars and blemishes. I generally recommend this peel for someone who is suffering from acne problems.

Lactic Acid is one of the most gentle peeling agent. This is a non-irritating skin exfoliator. It breaks down bonds between cells to allow for easier exfoliation of the dead skin cells. This peel helps give a smoother and healthier appearance to the skin. When used over time, lactic acid can also help decrease lines and wrinkles, improve oily, dry and acne prone skin. Great for someone with a sensitive skin type.

Jessner Peel- This peel is a blend of saliicylic acid, lactic acid, resorcinol and ethanol. The Jessner peel create a very similar effect of a deeper peel without the irritation. When administered over a period of times, the Jessner peel is very effective in treating sun damage and improving hyperpigmentation. Great for some with cystic acne.

TCA Peel - This peel uses trichloracetic acid and the percentages usually range from 7-15 percentage when performed by an esthetician. This peel penetrates deeper into the skin, therefore is amazing for treatment of wrinkles, pigmentation and skin blemishes the first time it is applied.

There you go. I hope you find this information useful. Enjoy your next chemical peel facial.

Things You Need to Know About Chemical Peels for Age Spots - The Pros And Cons

Chemical peels for age spots are growing in popularity. If you are not very familiar with them yet, or you wish to learn more, then you have come across the right article. Here we will discuss what you need to know about chemical peels.

First off, a chemical peel is a procedure wherein the dead cells in the surface of the skin are removed. This stimulates the regenerative process of the skin. It makes the skin smooth, tightens it, and gets rid of age spots. If you have puffy eyes or dark circles, they can be diminished too in this process.

During chemical peel treatment, various chemicals are used on the skin. Most of them come from fruits, sugar cane, and vinegar. Vitamins can also be included during the procedure. In fact, they can be used in higher doses. The intensity of the solution as well as the number of the peel layers vary from one person to another. It basically depends on your skin color, type, and the gravity of age spots which need to be treated.

There are three types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep.

#1. Superficial - This is the mildest kind and can be used on all types of skin. It uses a liquid which has diluted acid, usually, glycolic acid. Sometimes, ice solid carbon dioxide is used too.

#2. Medium - This type of chemical peel penetrates the skin deeper than the first type of peel. It uses trichloroacetic acid and can cause second-degree burn. Aside from trichloroacetic acid, other chemical solutions are used in this type of peel.

#3. Deep - Like medium peel, deep peel can also penetrate several skin layers and cause second-degree burn. It is only used on the face and only on individuals who have deep wrinkles and age spots due to overexposure from the sun.

Although chemical peels for age spots may be effective, they also have negative side effects; the acid solutions can really damage your skin. They also make your skin sensitive to the sun and open to infections; redness, inflammation and itching are other ugly side effects. You also have to repeat the procedure several times to get rid of all the blemishes; unfortunately, the treatments don't come cheap.

You can avoid all these hassles and still remove age spots effectively by using a quality natural whitening cream; one of the ingredient that does a good job is Extrapone Nutgrass. This natural skin whitening agent blocks the production of melanin; hence, it prevents and removes age brown spots effective.

Nutgrass is also gentle on the skin; so, it does not cause irritation or have any harmful effect on the skin. Better still, it also reduces the appearance of wrinkles to make the skin look younger and vibrant.

Chemical peels for age spots may work but, they are also harmful; so, why not go for a natural age spots remover that will give you the result you need without the adverse side effects.

Skin Whitening and Chemical Peels

Chemical skin peels such as AHA peels have mild skin whitening effect and can be used for skin lightening. AHA peels are the solutions which contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids (for example Lactic acid, Glycolic acid, Malic acid, Tartaric acid etc.). Lactic acid and Glycolic acid are the most well known and common used AHAs.

The action of AHA products is based on the ability of these acids to remove dead skin cells layer from the skin surface and to reveal the new, smooth and healthy skin. Chemical peels also stimulate collagen production, speed up cell renewal, help to moisturize the skin and diminish different kinds of skin imperfections including pigmental spots, freckles, birthmarks and other areas of uneven pigmentation.

Chemical peels are quite appropriate for all skin types, but some side effects are possible: redness, peeling, itchiness or swelling which may last up to 5 days depending on acid concentration. Chemical peels have different level of penetration into the skin depending of the concentration of the acid. AHAs are used in low concentrations (5-10%) - the most safe solutions but the less effective, 10-50% concentrations - more effective solutions, but there are some restrictions and contraindications of using them, 50-70% - the highest concentrations which are applied only under medical control and are the most effective against melasma, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

AHAs skin whitening action is based on their ability to remove the upper skin layers which consist of dead and damages skin cells and to reveal new, fair, healthy and young skin as well as the ability to inhibit the melanin production. Melanin is the dark pigment produced by the cells called melanocytes, melanin production is regulated by enzyme called tyrosinase. AHAs in high concentrations can inhibit the action of tyrosinase and decrease melanin production in the skin.

Thereby, chemical peels can lighten the skin due to their ability to to exfoliate the skin and to decrease melanin production. There is a variety of chemical peels can be used for skin lightening, but it is necessary to choose the peel and its concentration which gives the best result with the least risks and side effects. When solutions with high acid concentrations are applied to achieve the best results it is highly recommended to apply them under medical control.

What Does a Chemical Peel Do For Your Skin - The Real Truth

What does a chemical peel do for (or to) your skin? You'll find the answer to that question and more in this article.

The peels contain acids of various strengths. The concentration of the acids varies, as well. Not only does the concentration and strength determine the effectiveness of a product. It also determines the possibility of unwanted side effects, primarily burning, stinging, itching and redness.

The treatments are sometimes recommended by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons for improving the skin's texture; making it smoother. Basically, they cause a minor burn, which is why you experience the side effects.

If you have ever had a sun burn, you may have experienced peeling as the burn healed. You may have noticed that your skin felt smoother after the peeling process was over. If you had some pimples when you got the burn, they probably dried up and healed quickly. The effect is basically the same.

So, what does a chemical peel do? First, it causes a mild burn. As the burn heals, some of the outer layers of dead skin cells are sloughed off and the layer beneath may look younger and smoother. It doesn't always work, but that's what is supposed to happen.

According to plastic surgeons, all peels are accompanied by some uncertainty. They do not always work exactly as the patient or the practitioner had hoped. It is primarily a cosmetic procedure; although some of the stronger acid peels are used to remove pre-cancerous cells. If the procedure is being done for strictly cosmetic reasons, it is wise to seriously consider the risks.

What does a chemical peel do that is risky? It is difficult to control the severity of the burn or the penetration of the chemicals. If they penetrate too deeply or burn too severely, scarring can occur. Scarring is the greatest risk of the procedure.

Scarring is not typically a concern when using over-the-counter treatments, because the concentration and the strength of the acids are weak. However, the weaker solutions might not provide the effect you are looking for. For example, the mild alpha and beta hydroxy acids are ineffective against wrinkles.

Some home-use products have proven to be effective against wrinkles, but they do not contain the chemicals that cause burning and peeling. Sometimes a good moisturizer provides better results.

Knowing what does a chemical peel do, experts recommend some follow-up care. If you do decide to use one of the at-home peels, you should be prepared to protect the area from sunlight, because the skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. You should also be prepared to use only gentle cleansers for the following weeks, if not longer.

Some cleansers contain alpha and beta hydroxy acids. The low concentration wouldn't cause a problem before the peeling, but they would cause a problem afterwards.

You will also need to invest in a good moisturizer, because of this. What does a chemical peel do to your skin? It causes it to become flaky and dry. A good moisturizer helps to prevent flaking and corrects dryness issues.

The Power of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can make a significant difference in the clarity of facial skin. They help minimize wrinkles, improve blotchiness, reduce acne scars, help with pigmentation problems, and can even decrease the visible damage that occurs from decades in the sun. Sound expensive? Actually, peels are an affordable option in reducing the appearance of assorted skin imperfections.

How are peels administered? Well, they're noninvasive, so there's no cutting or needles. Instead, a liquid solution is applied to the surface of the skin. The strength and type will determine the degree of downtime; milder peels may not have any, while stronger peels could take two weeks or longer. Peels are a wonderful choice for people who are not yet ready for more invasive measures. They're performed in the privacy of a doctor's office, so safety comes first.

Let's look at a few peel types.

Lighter Peels. Lighter peels, like lactic and glycolic acid, will generate a clearer, more even complexion, but the results take place over time. Little to no discomfort is experienced with this solution, and downtime, if any, is minimal; a flushed appearance or flakiness may occur. A series of light peels are generally required to obtain the desired results. This peel is especially convenient for people who do not have the ability to take time off from work and stay indoors while their skin is healing.

Medium Peels. Medium peels, like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), are used when skin damage is more significant. A stinging sensation will be felt upon application of the solution, and depending on the TCA strength, topical numbing agents may be used. Naturally, because the peel is stronger, some degree of downtime is common. The concentration of the solution usually determines healing times, but many people plan on at least seven days. More than one medium peel may be required for optimal results.

Stronger Peels. Stronger peels, like phenol acid, produce deep peeling and unearth much younger looking skin. This peel is appropriate for people who have substantial wrinkling or deep acne scars. A greater degree of discomfort accompanies phenol acid, so anesthesia may be necessary. People with fairer complexions are better suited for deeper peels; olive tones and darker shades have the potential to experience hyper or hypopigmentation. Still, for the right candidate, deep peels result in remarkable skin improvements. Only one peel is typically needed, and recovery time may take fourteen days or longer.

Chemical peels are effective at combating wrinkled skin and acne scars, but they do not address facial droopiness or sagging. Still, they can usually be combined with other procedures, so multiple concerns can be handled on the same day. Even so, it is essential to check the credentials of the facility performing the peel. Only an experienced medical office with qualified personnel should administer this treatment. In the wrongs hands, chemical peels can be dangerous.

Chemical Peels: Phenol, Carbolic Acid, TCA, Alphahydroxy, Beta Hydroxy

Chemical peeling is a process whereby the skin (usually of the face) is subjected to minor chemical burning in order to make the skin healthier and younger looking. The way this works is when the skin is burned, it jump starts the healing process. So the skin is burned enough to trigger the immune and defense system but not enough that serious damage is done or that the rejuvenation only equalizes the damage.

The most intense peel is done with phenol. It so damages the skin that patients must avoid sunlight for several weeks, their faces remain burned looking for longer, and sometimes require anesthesia during the procedure. However, these last much longer than other peels and don't have to be redone for a long time. Furthermore, phenol peels have the most drastic results, eliminating blotches, coarse wrinkles and pre-cancerous growths.

A less severe peel is done with trichloacetic acid, known as TCA. TCA peels, unlike phenol peels, only require 10 or 12 days to recover from, rather than months. Also unlike phenol peels, people with darker skin colors can use TCA without fear of serious pigmentation affects to the skin. However, the effects of TCA are not as remarkable as those with phenol. TCA peels can smooth out fine wrinkles and scars and eliminate some blemishes, discolorations, blotches and pigmentation abnormalities, but deeper wrinkles and scars and pre-cancerous growths will be largely unaffected by trichloroacetic acid.

Then, for patients looking for a lighter peel, physicians can use alphahydroxy acids to peel the skin. Rather than just one session, several sessions of alphahydroxy peels may be needed over the course of several weeks to achieve the final results. Also, they will not eliminate wrinkles. They can, however, improve the texture, look, and health of rough, sun damaged or dry skin and can correct some blemish problems caused by acne or other pigment altering effects. These peels appeal to people who just want to look refreshed, don't want to spend time burned looking our out of the sun, people who don't have serious skin problems to correct, or people who are concerned about the safety of more serious peels. Alphahydroxy acid peels are the safest.

In addition to these three standard peels, a newly developed chemical skin peel has been developed using beta hydroxy (salicylic acid). Beta hydroxy peels can reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles as well as improving overall look and glow of the skin but is not as irritating as other peels, even alphahydroxy peels.

What Are Chemical Peels and How Do They Work?

The principle of chemical peels can be compared to the result of overdone tanning on the beach. But still that's only half way. There are several things that need to be understood before you decide to have one.

Chemical peel uses an acid solution that will be responsible for how the peeling works. This acid solution will be painted on the specified area of your body or in your face. The amount of acid solution to be used will be determined by how deep the peeling effect would go. Your option will be from a 30% peel or 70% strength of peeling with glycolic acid.

There are several types of acid used. The purpose of these acids is to improve the skin on your face, make the skin smoother and more even-textured. Applied acid on the skin works by removing the dead cells or the damaged upper layer of the skin. Aside from the face, chemical peels are also used on the hands and neck.

It is among the popular procedures sought for its many benefits. According to statistics, it is the third most popular non-surgical cosmetic facial procedure. The method used to define the level of procedure depends on the ingredients used and its strength. It can be performed in three different ways that will give three different outcomes that will correspond to the procedure that was used. This particular procedure works great with rough, dry skin and an uneven skin tone. It is also used to improve acne skin condition.

It will give you three options; they are also known as light, moderate and deep. The patient has the liberty to choose which type of feel will be appropriate, the doctor can always guide and advice the patient what will suit her skin best. This procedure is not limited to women alone but to both of the sexes.

Light to moderate uses an acid solution referred to as AHA or alpha hydroxyl acid. This solution sometimes contains lactic, glycolic and fruit acid as well. Multiple applications are recommended with AHA solution.

Trichloroacetic acid otherwise known as TCA is much stronger and provides deeper peel compared to AHA. But for the strongest acid that will give the deepest peel, Phenol acid would be the one. This is the type of acid used for deep chemical peel. It is commonly used to patient with the most severe condition of skin wrinkling around the mouth area.

Phenol used in patients with a medical history of heart diseases poses some risks and the product is not used to patients with darker skin tones. It is best that you consult surgeon about chemical peels and learn all the necessary facts you need to know about the procedure.

Do Chemical Peels Work? - Looking At Alternatives To Have You Looking Great Without Any Discomfort

Did you know that there is nothing new about chemical peels as many ancient civilizations used them? The only difference is that they were using totally natural ingredients like sour milk or mature wine. So, the question, do chemical peels work has an affirmative answer. But there are some precautions that we need to take and we also want to look at safer and more comfortable alternatives.

How do chemical peels work? We can use natural or chemical ingredients which peel off the outer damaged skin and encourages the dermis to replace all that with new younger looking skin. The dermis, which is the second layer, is kick started and skin cell renewal starts again to replace the old and tired outer layer.

It sounds great but there are a few precautions that we should be aware of. Chemical peels can actually be painful and there is discomfort depending on the depth of the peel. There is also a tendency to scarring in some patients while a few patients have had an outbreak of herpes. In the cases of deeper peels, medication such as painkillers has to be given to lessen the pain afterwards.

These types of peels are great if you have light colored skin. But if you tend to have darker skin, there is a risk of discoloration and uneven coloring afterwards. You might go crazy after seeing results like that!

So what are the alternatives? There are many ways that we can get our collagen to start regenerating again without going through all the hassle and pain of a peel. First, the mainstream cosmeceutical companies will not be much help here because they are using chemicals which are simply too risky and harmful for our health.

Wee need to look for those smaller companies who are committed to using great skin friendly ingredients which will work with our skin and get our own collagen reproducing again. That will help skin cell renewal to take place much faster.

How do chemical peels work will no longer be a question that you need to ask. All you have to ask about is whether these newer, safer and bio available ingredients actually work and what are the other ingredients that will give you great looking skin without going through a painful and risky process.

If you really want to look great and are curious to know what these ingredients are, why not click through to my website where I have explained all about this in great detail. Your skincare is now in much safer hands!

Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion - Nonsurgical Skin Rejuvenators

Chemical peels and microdermabrasion procedures are becoming increasingly popular among the millions of people who want to reduce the signs of aging n their skin without having to undergo cosmetic surgery. Both chemical peels and microdermabrasion use specially formulated solutions to remove the damaged surface layers of the skin, so that the blemish free, clear new skin underneath them emerges, providing even tone, a clear complexion, and a healthy glow. It remove more layers of skin than microdermabrasion, but both are great for treating damaged from sun exposure, free radicals, or even acne.

Chemical Peels And Microdermabrasion Are Skin Rejuvenators

While both are cosmetic procedures designed to create a more youthful appearance by reducing the signs of facial aging by treating the upper layers of facial, they approach their goal in quite different ways. Both treatments best left care professionals, however, because mishandling the substances they use to create a more youthful appearance can cause more damage than it will repair.

Both are incapable of actually slowing or reversing the aging process itself, but what they can do, by removing the dull dead cells which accumulate on the face's surface layer of skin, is reveal the new underneath with its much healthier and more radiant appearance. Both use solutions applied to the face to achieve their results, but the formulas of those solutions are very different.

By dissolving the dead cells, accumulated oils, and other contaminants from the face's surface, both allow the healthy smooth skin underneath to surface, and when the upper layer goes, it often takes with it blemishes like acne scarring. Both are very effective at eliminating fine lines and the other signs of sun damage to the skin.

Too much sun exposure is the leading factor in aging, and it affects millions of people by aging them beyond their chronological years. Peels and microdermabrasion, therefore, are greatly in demand among people who live in the Sun Belt of the US, or like to spend lots of time in the great outdoors. They can have their treatments performed professionally at medical facilities or care clinics, or they can opt to use milder forms of either procedure in the comfort of their own homes.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels act precisely as their name suggests, using a solution containing a combination of alpha hydroxy acid, phenol, and tricholoracetic acid. The care professionals performing the it will determine the strength of each of these ingredients according to the needs of each client, so that the solution used on one individual might be totally inappropriate for use on another.

Chemical peels can be highly effective in removing cells which appear to be pre-cancerous, and they can also be used to eliminate acne outbreaks. They are often included as part of facelift procedures.

How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion removes the outer layer of the skin so it does not go as deep into the layers of the skin as a chemical peel. This is the better choice for a person who has certain conditions that might not be receptive to a chemical peel with good results.

The microdermabrasion solution, containing microscopically small titanium or aluminum oxide crystals, is sprayed onto the face where it scrubs away the dead cells and oils which dull the complexion, and stimulates the fresh skin underneath to rise to the surface. The new skin will have an even, radiant tone and smooth texture, and the microdermabrasion will also cleanse the pores to help in maintain its more youthful appearance.

. Both of these procedures have become very popular because of the positive results.

What Is A Chemical Peel, Anyway?

This is when chemicals are applied to the skin to create damage or a "controlled wound". This damaged skin is then peeled away to reveal newer skin underneath. The new skin usually is smoother and has less imperfections than the old skin.

There are three levels of chemical peel and different chemicals are used for each process. Liken it to salsa - mild, medium, and hot.

The mildest and gentlest of the chemical peels use alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids are commonly found in over the counter acne medications. Examples include, salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids. The medium version uses a stronger chemical call tricholoracetic acid. And the "hot" version or deep peel is also referred to as a phenol peel.

What conditions does a chemical peel treat?

Usually this procedure is performed on the face, sometimes on the hands and neck. If you have minor signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, or minor sun damage, this could be right for you. Other skin imperfections are also treated like acne scars, age spots, and freckles.

What is involved?

If you opt for either the light or medium peels, the procedure can be performed in the practitioner's office. No anesthesia is required and you may or may not be prescribed some pain medication for discomfort or burning feeling. Both procedures will eventually require retreatment to achieve or maintain the results. The medium peel may take a few days to heal.

The deep peel - phenol peel, does require anesthesia as it is very painful. The recovery time is longer, possibly up to one month. Also, the risks are greater as are the benefits. The look achieved through a phenol peel have been known to last up to 20 years - although this may not be typical.

As with any medical procedure, finding the right doctor and evaluating your medical history are essential. Cosmetic surgery procedures like juvederm, are comparable alternatives and should be considered as well.

The Unexposed Secret of Chemical Peels

All about chemical peels for aging skin

So what exactly is a chemical peel for the skin? Basically it is a chemical that is used for peeling off skin that has become wrinkled and aged or for those that have discoloration or other skin issues. It is commonly called derma-peeling and by peeling away the skin layers it will allow fresh new skin to show. This new skin has a fresh look without as many wrinkles.

As we get older the skin becomes photo aged and damaged. The chemical solution is applied directly on the skin and the strength depends on the type of results that are desired. In other words if you are having a mild peel then you would use chemicals that are much less abrasive. Sometimes a light peel is done repeatedly over a period of time to get the best results. This is good for some damaged skin or very light wrinkles. The skin that is much more damaged such as skin with age spots and so forth would need a medium type skin peel. Usually the dermatologist can determine the exact strength of peel that you will need for your particular skin issue. The chemicals that are used are quite varied. Some are very very strong, yet they are all acid-based.

The side effects of the procedure is very much the same as having a severe sunburn depending upon the depth of skin that is being removed. This obviously will cause quite a bit of redness and skin that peels away as new skin starts to form. Over a period of a few weeks the redness and peeling will subside. The doctor can prescribe different lotions that will alleviate some of the pain, and possibly medication as well. During this time all exposure to the sun has to be avoided until the new skin has completely formed. Chemical peels are done very frequently and for most people are completely safe. This is a good way to give your face a much more youthful look and appearance at a reasonable cost.

Get The Proper Weapon To Fight For Your Skin! A Chemical Peel May Be What You Are Looking For

Beautiful skin is a plus. All women would like to have perfect skin, yet not all of them can boast about it. It is a well known fact that the skin of your body is not very difficult to maintain. Good cleaning with nourishing body wash, a scrub once in a while and a good body lotion afterwards will ensure good-looking skin.

However, the skin on your face is much sensitive and it requires special treatment. If nature has given you an impeccable complexion, you still have to do some work to keep it like that. What if the nature of the skin on your face involves freckles, spots or even severe acne?

There is a long list of products meant to repair your face and make it look nice again; it all depends on choosing the proper one for you. Problems like freckles, dry skin or unevenly pigmented areas may be solved by applying a chemical peel. They come in different types, according to the seriousness of the skin condition: a light peel is recommended for first-time users and for a regular cleaning of the superficial layer of the skin; a salicylic peel or a TCA will do a better job if deeper cleaning must be done. These chemical peels are frequently used by women who need to get a fresher look on their faces and ensure a higher quality of their skin. They are easy to apply and anyone can do it at home; besides, they are a lot cheaper than treatments in clinics and many beauty salons.

However, for the rebellious type of pimples known under the name of acne, a medium chemical may be enough but not all the time. There are cases that require something more powerful than that. Some patients have serious forms of this inflammatory disease of the skin and have to be treated with more powerful medication. Accutane is a good option and so is Benzoyl peroxide. The first one reduces the amount of sebum and shrinks the sebaceous glands. Skin becomes less likely to get comedones. The latter is like a chemical peel and comes in gel or cream form. Applied to the skin, it removes its top layer and clears its pores.

Chemical Peels Can Remove Wrinkles

Chemical peels can remove wrinkles. They are also effective in removing the outer layers of sun damaged, blemished, unevenly pigmented, blotchy skin and pre-cancerous growth.

There are currently three strengths that are all designed to remove the outer layer of skin so there is fresh new skin growth with the absence of blemishes, blotches and wrinkles. Despite that, people should remember that chemical peels do not stop or retard the normal effects of aging. Let's talk about the three types.

The first is known as a light peel. Here, Alphahydroxy acids (AHA) and Betahydroxy acids (BHA) are used to treat wrinkles. The AHA solution can be mixed with a bleaching agent and at times can be used as a pre-treatment for those who play to undergo TCA peeling or resurfacing.

The light peel is done without the need of anesthesia or sedation so the person will feel a slight sting. Treatment at the clinic could last from 10 to 15 minutes. During that time, it is normal to experience dryness, flaking, mild irritation or redness. You will be able to resume your daily routine within one to two days.

Medium peels on the other hand use a solution known as Tricholoroacetic acid (TCA). Just like the light peel, this is only applied when you face has been thoroughly cleansed. You have the option to use a light sedative but this may already be unnecessary when the solution itself gives you a numbing effect.

Despite that, some people will still feel a warm or burning sensation. This can also be used on other parts of the body and you may need to have more than 2 treatments between one to two month intervals to achieve its full effect.

Deep peels: Phenol acid is the strongest chemical peel solution and accomplishes the deepest peel and most dramatic results. It smoothes coarse wrinkles and is often used to remove pre-cancerous growths. Blotchiness is also treated with Phenol peel.

The third is called deep "phenol" peel. Treatment usually takes one to two hours but if the area to be treated is small, then it can be done in 15 minutes. This is used on the face only and the patient will have to be sedated.

This treatment can only be done on patients that are fair and thin skinned with superficial wrinkles. Your eyes will swell afterwards and you will have to wear a dressing after the peel is completed. There will also be crusts or scabs afterwards that will last from 7 to 10 days and only then will you be able to go back to your daily routine.

Chances are, you will also have a hard time talking so it is best to go on a liquid diet. Since you can't do anything for the next week or so, make sure you have someone drive you around to your doctor's appointment or stay with you during recovery. You are also encouraged to stay indoors the whole time. If you have to go out, make sure you apply sun block first.

Chemical peels can remove wrinkles. You don't even have to go to a hospital since many of these specialists have their own private clinics. You just need to be examined first have to assess the condition of your skin so the right type of peel can be recommended.
