Chemical Peel Treatment For Acne Scars


Chemical peel treatment can be used to get rid of years and years of accumulated acne scars and debris on the face. It works by the removing of the top layers of the skin which are scarred. The new skin layers which replace the old ones are free of scars. It can cause burning and itching during the time of application, but it will soon ease out.

Chemical peel could be home administered or hospital administered. Depending on the type of peel and the nature of your facial scar, you can choose to go for a home peel or a hospital administered peel. However, when you have severe acne on the face, it is recommended to wait for the acne to heal before going in for peel treatment to remove scars.

Which Peel should you choose?

Chemical peels come in various strengths and concentrations. A doctor may be able to help you decide the concentration that your skin needs. However, the general mantra is to go in for the lowest strength to check your skin's response and slowly keep increasing the concentration. It should also be noted that a gap of at least 3 weeks is recommended before between your first peel and your next peel.

Various peels like TCA (Trichloro acetic acid), AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid), Glycolic peels etc are available today. The lower strength peels also known as lunch time peels can be used like a lunch time peel as the recovery time is very little. However, strong peels that treat deep scars require a long period of recovery time as the face can look un presentable for a few days. Further, in some extreme cases, it might warrant hospitalization as the skin becomes prone to infection.

Chemical Peel Aftercare:

It is important to wear a strong sunscreen lotion after undergoing the peel. It is best if sun exposure could be avoided altogether if it is a strong peel you had undergone. The skin tends to run dry and hence, it is important to use a moisturizer during the aftercare period.

Home administered chemical peels are gaining popularity with the cost of hospital administered peel being expensive. Home administered peels are a good alternative provided, it is done with taking proper care and precautions.

Melasma Treatment With Chemical Peels


Are you frustrated with the dark pigmentation marks on your face due to melasma? I need not describe the types of melasma or the cause that is responsible for it. But yes, I know how terrible it feels to wake up day after day and face the mirror. These melasma marks are very stubborn and cause a lot of stress. One of the possible solutions to get rid of melasma is by chemical peel. But what is a chemical peel and how it is used to treat melasma?

What Is Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel procedure is a technique in which a chemical solution peels off the dead skin and the new skin that is underneath comes out like the clear complexion of a baby. The new skin has not only no blemishes, it is also wrinkle free. So this procedure not only removes skin pigmentation due to melasma, it also gives you wrinkle free skin.

How It Reduces Facial Pigmentation

In this procedure a chemical solution is applied to the affected area. The chemical solution removes the damaged outer layer of the skin. It is very effective for persons looking for ways to remove skin blemishes like pigmentation due to melasma. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are some of the chemicals used for chemical peel. The proportion of this chemical to be used is adjusted by the dermatologist according to the severity of skin pigmentation.

Different Types Of Facial Peel

Generally speaking there can be three types of chemical peel. In fact this classification is based on the severity of the chemical used.

Light Peels: These peels consist of glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels (AHA) or Salicylic Acid (BHA). This is the mildest chemical peel. It is usually done in the doctor's office. There is only mild stinging feeling when the chemical is applied. Since there is no surgery or anesthesia is involved and it takes only a few minutes, this procedure is also called lunch hour face lift.

Medium Peels: In case of medium peels trichloroacetic acids is used as the peeling solution. This procedure is performed in the doctor's office or in a surgery center as an outpatient procedure. The concentration of the peel may be varied according to the condition of skin pigmentation. Repeat treatment may be done at the interval of a few months for the desired result. Anesthesia may be given if required.

Deep Peels: In this procedure the chemical used is Phenol acid. This solution is quite strong and is used with caution in extreme skin conditions only.

Risk Factors of Chemical Peel

Even though normally there is not much risk in this procedure, there is a possibility that that there may be certain problems. In certain cases there may be scarring and infection. To minimize such risks be sure to follow the advice of your dermatologist carefully.

Cost of Chemical Peel

The cost of chemical peel varies from $700 to $1000. The cost actually depends on the place you decide to do the procedure. And also the point to be noted is that this cost is exclusive of the ancillary expenses like anesthesia, operating room cost and other related expenses.




So are you ready for a this procedure for removing the pigmentation marks of melasma? If you feel apprehensive about putting such harsh chemicals on your face yet want to fade those pigmentation marks from your skin why don't you try something less harsh than chemical peels? Have a look at this article on upper lip pigmentation for information and tips on effective melasma treatment at my blog on Lip Care.

Many do not realise it, but a good chemical peel can actually make the skin far smoother than it used to be and can be a great way to help scars fade away.

The added benefits that come from this treatment are that people may also find that some of their wrinkles that may have been on the face before may have disappeared.

Over the Counter Chemical Peels - A Proven Treatment to Rejuvenate Problem Skin


Over the counter chemical peels are affordable and easily available beauty treatments to help people get revitalized skin. These are milder versions of the professional chemical peels - the body treatment technique which promotes skin regeneration. The new skin that replaces the old layers is smoother and gives off that youthful appearance. These do-it-yourself peels may take longer than a professional one to have effects, but the price difference is significant, and with results in as little as a week, they are a viable alternative. They are also easy to use, and can be applied at home, versus having to visit a doctor's office or spa.

Using Over the Counter Chemical Peels

Over the counter chemical peels are basically light chemical peels that can help people get a more youthful appearance by treating wrinkles and other skin conditions while giving skin a vibrant glow. They use similar but diluted acids as professionally-applied peels. These are still effective though. One of the most commonly used acids is alpha hydroxyl or AHAs, namely glycolic acids.

These naturally-occurring acids (they can be found in sugar cane juice, for example) are the mildest of chemical peeling formulas. A glycolic acid-based peel gently penetrates the upper layers of the skin and aids skin regeneration, or basically sloughing away the dead upper layers of the skin to make way for a younger new layer. Another common acid used is salicylic acid - these peels work well on sebum, and can benefit those suffering from acne greatly.

Of course, reading and understanding the usage instructions of over the counter chemical peels is still very important for you to do. These diluted chemicals are still potent enough to cause damage when used improperly or when overexposure occurs, such as chemical burns that can scar and discolour the skin. These at-home peels also shouldn't contain more than 10% glycolic acid, as greater concentrations are too harsh.

Ideally, you should try a bit of the chemical peel on an patch of unexposed skin; this way, if there are any adverse reactions, the affected area will not be exposed in public. After proper application of the product, the skin may become sensitive to touch, and possibly red and puffy. These are effects of the chemicals in the peel working, and should not be scratched lest they turn worse. These side effects will fade in a couple of days, revealing a new layer of youthful looking skin where the peel was applied.

Where Can I Get These Peels?

Over the counter chemical peels are a more affordable yet still effective non-surgical means to getting younger-looking, revitalized skin. At around 25 to 40 dollars, they are a far cry from the hundreds or even thousands of dollars that professional peels can cost. Most local drug stores will offer these products, or you can purchase them online. As a cheaper yet still effective beauty treatment, these products should definitely be considered by anyone looking to improve their skin.




There's no reason you should sit there and be embarrassed about your acne scars any longer when you can use over the counter chemical peels to zap those scars once and for all and take back your beautiful, clear skin.

Which Is The Better Chemical Peel For Acne Treatment, Alpha-Hydroxy Acid Or Beta-Hydroxy Acid?


Acne has been tormenting millions of people in the US. Many acne products have been popping up in the market but there is one acne treatment that had existed for thousands of years. That is the chemical peel. It was recorded in history that Cleopatra had been bathing in sour milk to maintain her skin smooth and nice. Lactic acid found in sour milk is effective in peeling the skin removing dead skin. Lactic acid belongs to a group called Alpha-hydroxy acid.

A recent study by researchers from Saint Louis University School of Medicine has found that Alpha-hydroxy acid and Beta-hydroxy acid chemical peels are found to be both equally highly effective in combating mild to moderate facial acne.

20 patients suffering from mild to moderated acne were studied in that research. There are 17 males and 13 female in the studied group. Alpha-hydroxy acid peel (30% concentration of glycolic acid) was applied on one half of the face, while Beta-hydroxy acid peel (30% concentration of salicylic acid) was applied on the other half of the face of each patient. The treatments are done every two weeks for duration of three months. A non-bias evaluator was used to examine the effectiveness of each acid peels on the reduction of acne. Both the evaluator and the patients did not know which sides of the faces were applied with Alpha-hydroxy acid or Beta-hydroxy acid.

At the examination during the second treatment, both sides of the faces have found to have significantly reduced the numbers of pimples. However there are more severe side effects found on the sides of the faces that were applied with Alpha-hydroxy acid during the first examination. All these side effects generally were reduced to minimal after further treatments. Some common side effects of Alpha-hydroxy acid and Beta-hydroxy acid are stinging sensation, redness, dryness and peeling.

An examination was done to check for post treatment effect one month after all 6 treatments had been completed. It was found that 94% of the patients still continued to see good reduction in the numbers of pimples on both sides of their faces. Alpha-hydroxy acid and Beta-hydroxy acid chemical peels were still able to maintain their effectiveness one month after all treatments had been done.

Another examination was done two months after all treatments had been done. Beta-hydroxy acid had shown a bigger improvement in treating acne than Alpha-hydroxy acid. The non-bias evaluator gave 81 percent of the sides of faces applied with salicylic acid chemical peel fair or good improvement in acne condition, while only 75 percent of the sides applied with glycolic acid received fair or good improvement. There were also a few numbers of new pimples popping up on the sides that were applied with glycolic acid. However the numbers of new pimples were insignificant to be bothered.

The researchers concluded that both salicylic acid and glycolic acid chemical peels are equally effective in acne treatment. Salicylic acid was able to continue its effectiveness and had lesser side effects than glycolic acid. Overall Alpha-hydroxy acid and Beta-hydroxy acid chemical peels are successful treatment of acne.

The Green Peel Treatment FAQs - The Alternative to Chemical Peels


The Green Peel is a safe, non-surgical facial procedure that makes use of natural plant ingredients to gently exfoliate and regenerate the skin. It was developed in the 1950s by a pair of German dermatologists, and has since been widely used to treat a variety of skin conditions. Decades of innovation have made the Green Peel even more effective and versatile. Today, the Green Peel has been successfully used to treat the following problems:

-Oily and blemished skin

-Enlarged and clogged pores

-Saggy skin and wrinkles

-Sun-induced damage such as spots, atrophy and elastosis

-Acne and cane scars

-Slackened skin on the abs, thighs and upper arms

-Cellulite

Thousands of Green Peel treatments are performed every month, but not all patients understand how it works. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the Green Peel and its effects.

What makes the Green Peel different?

Unlike other exfoliation methods, Green Peel does not use any synthetic peeling agents or chemicals. Instead, it uses a mix of natural herbs and plant extracts to gently coax out unwanted skin layers. This makes it much safer and less irritating, even when the compounds make contact with the eyes. The results are similar to that of chemical peels and Retin-A medication, but without the side effects.

How do the natural substances peel?

The peeling action is done by the micro-particles in the herbs themselves. These particles gently polish the skin's upper layer or epidermis, while other active ingredients penetrate the deeper layers. Over the next 48 hours, they release a variety of vitamins, enzymes, and plant hormones that cleanse and revitalize the skin. In high-powered treatments, the preparation may include skin-tightening ingredients that promote collagen production. This type is recommended for those with persistent skin problems and those who show signs of skin aging.

Does the Green Peel treatment hurt?

You won't feel anything as the preparation is massaged onto your skin. However, after the second or third day, the skin will appear red and swollen, and you may feel a slight burning sensation. This is the result of the old skin layers slowly peeling off. The burning is not harmful and will only last a day or so.

Some people also report a tingling sensation under the skin after the old layers have been removed. Again, this is perfectly normal and should not be a cause for concern. People with sensitive skin may be given a half-strength or quarter-strength peel, which uses less potent ingredients.

What are the results of Green Peel treatment?

After the treatment runs its course (usually in three to four days), the old skin layers start to peel off. The peeling is not painful and you can go about your regular activities while the peel is taking effect. After four or five days, you may have to come back for a follow-up treatment where any remaining skin will be rubbed away. A rich medicated cream may be applied to the newly surfaced skin, which is still sensitive and very absorbent.

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.

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.

As the name suggests, strong chemicals are used in chemical peels which have the ability to remove the layer of the skin and hence making way to the newer layer. You may need light, medium or deep chemical peels depending on the depth of the damage your skin is having. You might also need a number of sessions to make sure the damage has been removed.

You need to consult a dermatologist who specializes in this treatment because the effects are different on different types of skin and the treatment depends on the thickness of the scars you process. As stretch marks are formed in the deeper layers of your skin you need to have treatment with deep chemical peels. You may need many sessions of chemical peel treatment to treat your stretch marks. This is a painful process which may need local anesthesia.

So opting for this type for treating deeper scars like stretch marks involves a lot of risks and disadvantages. The number sessions of treatment you need to undergo are more. Deep chemical peel is a painful procedure. It may also cost you a lot and can sometimes damage your skin instead of curing it. You need to consult a dermatologist before going for a treatment of stretch marks using chemical peels.

There are many other methods which can cure stretch marks with success in different degrees. There are creams available both for prevention and cure which once again ends up giving mixed results.

Chemical Peel Treatment For Acne Scars


Chemical peel treatment can be used to get rid of years and years of accumulated acne scars and debris on the face. It works by the removing of the top layers of the skin which are scarred. The new skin layers which replace the old ones are free of scars. It can cause burning and itching during the time of application, but it will soon ease out.

Chemical peel could be home administered or hospital administered. Depending on the type of peel and the nature of your facial scar, you can choose to go for a home peel or a hospital administered peel. However, when you have severe acne on the face, it is recommended to wait for the acne to heal before going in for peel treatment to remove scars.

Which Peel should you choose?

Chemical peels come in various strengths and concentrations. A doctor may be able to help you decide the concentration that your skin needs. However, the general mantra is to go in for the lowest strength to check your skin's response and slowly keep increasing the concentration. It should also be noted that a gap of at least 3 weeks is recommended before between your first peel and your next peel.

Various peels like TCA (Trichloro acetic acid), AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid), Glycolic peels etc are available today. The lower strength peels also known as lunch time peels can be used like a lunch time peel as the recovery time is very little. However, strong peels that treat deep scars require a long period of recovery time as the face can look un presentable for a few days. Further, in some extreme cases, it might warrant hospitalization as the skin becomes prone to infection.

Chemical Peel Aftercare:

It is important to wear a strong sunscreen lotion after undergoing the peel. It is best if sun exposure could be avoided altogether if it is a strong peel you had undergone. The skin tends to run dry and hence, it is important to use a moisturizer during the aftercare period.

Melasma Treatment With Chemical Peels


Are you frustrated with the dark pigmentation marks on your face due to melasma? I need not describe the types of melasma or the cause that is responsible for it. But yes, I know how terrible it feels to wake up day after day and face the mirror. These melasma marks are very stubborn and cause a lot of stress. One of the possible solutions to get rid of melasma is by chemical peel. But what is a chemical peel and how it is used to treat melasma?

What Is Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel procedure is a technique in which a chemical solution peels off the dead skin and the new skin that is underneath comes out like the clear complexion of a baby. The new skin has not only no blemishes, it is also wrinkle free. So this procedure not only removes skin pigmentation due to melasma, it also gives you wrinkle free skin.

How It Reduces Facial Pigmentation

In this procedure a chemical solution is applied to the affected area. The chemical solution removes the damaged outer layer of the skin. It is very effective for persons looking for ways to remove skin blemishes like pigmentation due to melasma. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are some of the chemicals used for chemical peel. The proportion of this chemical to be used is adjusted by the dermatologist according to the severity of skin pigmentation.

Different Types Of Facial Peel

Generally speaking there can be three types of chemical peel. In fact this classification is based on the severity of the chemical used.

Light Peels: These peels consist of glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels (AHA) or Salicylic Acid (BHA). This is the mildest chemical peel. It is usually done in the doctor's office. There is only mild stinging feeling when the chemical is applied. Since there is no surgery or anesthesia is involved and it takes only a few minutes, this procedure is also called lunch hour face lift.

Medium Peels: In case of medium peels trichloroacetic acids is used as the peeling solution. This procedure is performed in the doctor's office or in a surgery center as an outpatient procedure. The concentration of the peel may be varied according to the condition of skin pigmentation. Repeat treatment may be done at the interval of a few months for the desired result. Anesthesia may be given if required.

Deep Peels: In this procedure the chemical used is Phenol acid. This solution is quite strong and is used with caution in extreme skin conditions only.

Risk Factors of Chemical Peel

Even though normally there is not much risk in this procedure, there is a possibility that that there may be certain problems. In certain cases there may be scarring and infection. To minimize such risks be sure to follow the advice of your dermatologist carefully.

Cost of Chemical Peel

The cost of chemical peel varies from $700 to $1000. The cost actually depends on the place you decide to do the procedure. And also the point to be noted is that this cost is exclusive of the ancillary expenses like anesthesia, operating room cost and other related expenses.

Over the Counter Chemical Peels - A Proven Treatment to Rejuvenate Problem Skin


Over the counter chemical peels are affordable and easily available beauty treatments to help people get revitalized skin. These are milder versions of the professional chemical peels - the body treatment technique which promotes skin regeneration. The new skin that replaces the old layers is smoother and gives off that youthful appearance. These do-it-yourself peels may take longer than a professional one to have effects, but the price difference is significant, and with results in as little as a week, they are a viable alternative. They are also easy to use, and can be applied at home, versus having to visit a doctor's office or spa.

Using Over the Counter Chemical Peels

Over the counter chemical peels are basically light chemical peels that can help people get a more youthful appearance by treating wrinkles and other skin conditions while giving skin a vibrant glow. They use similar but diluted acids as professionally-applied peels. These are still effective though. One of the most commonly used acids is alpha hydroxyl or AHAs, namely glycolic acids.

These naturally-occurring acids (they can be found in sugar cane juice, for example) are the mildest of chemical peeling formulas. A glycolic acid-based peel gently penetrates the upper layers of the skin and aids skin regeneration, or basically sloughing away the dead upper layers of the skin to make way for a younger new layer. Another common acid used is salicylic acid - these peels work well on sebum, and can benefit those suffering from acne greatly.

Of course, reading and understanding the usage instructions of over the counter chemical peels is still very important for you to do. These diluted chemicals are still potent enough to cause damage when used improperly or when overexposure occurs, such as chemical burns that can scar and discolour the skin. These at-home peels also shouldn't contain more than 10% glycolic acid, as greater concentrations are too harsh.

Ideally, you should try a bit of the chemical peel on an patch of unexposed skin; this way, if there are any adverse reactions, the affected area will not be exposed in public. After proper application of the product, the skin may become sensitive to touch, and possibly red and puffy. These are effects of the chemicals in the peel working, and should not be scratched lest they turn worse. These side effects will fade in a couple of days, revealing a new layer of youthful looking skin where the peel was applied.

Where Can I Get These Peels?

Over the counter chemical peels are a more affordable yet still effective non-surgical means to getting younger-looking, revitalized skin. At around 25 to 40 dollars, they are a far cry from the hundreds or even thousands of dollars that professional peels can cost. Most local drug stores will offer these products, or you can purchase them online. As a cheaper yet still effective beauty treatment, these products should definitely be considered by anyone looking to improve their skin.




There's no reason you should sit there and be embarrassed about your acne scars any longer when you can use over the counter chemical peels to zap those scars once and for all and take back your beautiful, clear skin.

Melasma Treatment With Chemical Peels


Are you frustrated with the dark pigmentation marks on your face due to melasma? I need not describe the types of melasma or the cause that is responsible for it. But yes, I know how terrible it feels to wake up day after day and face the mirror. These melasma marks are very stubborn and cause a lot of stress. One of the possible solutions to get rid of melasma is by chemical peel. But what is a chemical peel and how it is used to treat melasma?

Chemical Peel Treatment For Acne Scars


Chemical peel treatment can be used to get rid of years and years of accumulated acne scars and debris on the face. It works by the removing of the top layers of the skin which are scarred. The new skin layers which replace the old ones are free of scars. It can cause burning and itching during the time of application, but it will soon ease out.

Chemical peel could be home administered or hospital administered. Depending on the type of peel and the nature of your facial scar, you can choose to go for a home peel or a hospital administered peel. However, when you have severe acne on the face, it is recommended to wait for the acne to heal before going in for peel treatment to remove scars.

Which Peel should you choose?

Chemical peels come in various strengths and concentrations. A doctor may be able to help you decide the concentration that your skin needs. However, the general mantra is to go in for the lowest strength to check your skin's response and slowly keep increasing the concentration. It should also be noted that a gap of at least 3 weeks is recommended before between your first peel and your next peel.

Various peels like TCA (Trichloro acetic acid), AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid), Glycolic peels etc are available today. The lower strength peels also known as lunch time peels can be used like a lunch time peel as the recovery time is very little. However, strong peels that treat deep scars require a long period of recovery time as the face can look un presentable for a few days. Further, in some extreme cases, it might warrant hospitalization as the skin becomes prone to infection.

Chemical Peel Aftercare:

It is important to wear a strong sunscreen lotion after undergoing the peel. It is best if sun exposure could be avoided altogether if it is a strong peel you had undergone. The skin tends to run dry and hence, it is important to use a moisturizer during the aftercare period.

Home administered chemical peels are gaining popularity with the cost of hospital administered peel being expensive. Home administered peels are a good alternative provided, it is done with taking proper care and precautions.
