Face Rejuvenation with Skin Peels
Chemical peeling is such a treatment that uses a chemical solution that is applied to the skin to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off gradually. Chemical peels involve the application of an acid solution to the skin which helps to improve issues like acne, blemishes, sun damage, age spots, freckles, rough skin and uneven pigmentation. The procedure encompasses exfoliation of the skin layers, varying from superficial to deep. Through this stimulation of the body’s natural healing process and the production of collagen, the chemical peels can effectively reduce the appearance of the wrinkles. Therefore chemical peels are the safest and the most effective procedure applied on the face and neck.
Types of Chemical Peels
- Light chemical peels- The mild peels usually involves no recovery time though candidates may experience some sort of irritation after applying the Patients can return back to their daily work immediately after following the procedure.
- Medium chemical peels- For the medium peels, the new layers of the skin appears after three to seven days after undergoing the treatment. The skin will completely heal within a couple of weeks.
- Deep chemical peels- The recovery time involved for deep peels is maximum and that is seven to ten days. Sometimes it may take a month too. Patients undergoing this procedure are advised to take a take a week off after following a deep chemical peel.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
A chemical peel can provide numerous benefits to the skin. The first and foremost thing is that it is capable of restoring a youthful appearance to the skin. Not only this it can effectively reduce the appearance of the wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, sun damage and blotchy patches from the skin and give you a young fresh skin.
How do Chemical Peels Work?
When the selected chemical peel is applied on the skin it carefully removes the topmost layer of the sun damaged layers. New fresh skin forms from the deep layers and that gives a clear smooth skin giving a youthful appearance. Thus the chemical peel stimulates the growth of new healthy skin cells by replacing the tired old skin.
Chemical Peeling Procedure
- Before beginning with the procedure the skin is thoroughly cleaned. The chemical peel is then applied on the face for a certain time. This stage may slightly be uncomfortable so a cold pack and a cooling pack may be used until the stinging decreases (may be after a minute or so).
- Once the initial discomfort subsides the skin will no more be painful but will obviously be tight. The candidate may experience redness of the skin and swollen for the next 24 hours.
- Over the next few days, the skin dries up and looks more like a brownish leather. Emollient is applied on the skin for several days to prevent cracking. Lighter peels involve no downtime where as others may involve a 5 to 10 days of downtime.
Results Achieved by Chemical Peels
Chemical peel exhibits the best result for people with fine wrinkles though deeper lines will remain some of which can be removed by laser resurfacing. The embarrassing brown marks and pigmentation can also be reduced especially the so called liver spots and melasma after pregnancy.
People who develop discoloration on their skin after a major injury such as mild burn, the specialist usually performs a test on a selected area before undergoing a full face chemical peeling. The procedure is not at all painful if proper sedation is being used with only some itching or feeling of tightness of the skin during the healing period.
Limitations of Chemical Peels
- The chemical peels are not a substitute for a facelift and are not responsible for tightening sagging skin.
- Chemical peels cannot correct broken capillaries and that must be treated with IPL laser.
- Chemical peels are not at all effective to remove significant acne scarring rather erbium laser resurfacing can do that to achieve the best results.
- After undergoing a chemical peeling procedure the skin must not be exposed to the sun to preserve the benefits offered by the procedure.
The Complications of Chemical Peels
Scarring may be associated with deep chemical peels but it is completely avoidable with a TCA peel. The most common causes of scarring may occur from infection or pulling the flaking pieces off the skin before they are ready. So it is clear enough that both can be avoided only if the patient is careful about these matters while flaking.
Other than that some candidates may also experience cold sores which can be resolved with some anti-viral medications. Some may encounter with increased pigmentation which can also subside with time. Changing in pigmentation can also be largely deterred by using sunscreen lotions and by minimising the sun exposure for three months after following the peel.
Cost of Chemical Peels
The cost of chemical peels depends from state to state and doctor to doctor. However the recent rates are near about $600-$900 with some additional expenses like cost of anaesthesia, use of surgical facility, etc. The final costs of the procedure depends on the skin type, condition of the skin. The light chemical peels may be even lower than $150 whereas the deep chemical peels are generally most expensive as much as $6000.
