————————————————————————- 1. Everything about Chemical peels. In all chemical peels, a solution containing the active ingredient is applied to the skin. The skin subsequently peels off over a period of 1 to 14 days, depending on how potent the chemicals were. This procedure removes parts of the skin in a controlled way so that new, healthier skin can grow in its place. Chemical peels differ depending upon how deeply the chemical is needed to penetrate and the type of chemical solution that is used. Factors that may affect the depth of a peel include: 1) the acid concentration in the peeling agent, Deeper peels generally result in more significant changes in the skin but are associated with higher risks, greater discomfort or pain, and a significantly longer healing time. Chemical Peels may be divided into three types: 1. Superficial peels. These are the mildest type of chemical peel and can be used on a wide variety of skin types. Superficial peels usually use a solution containing a mild acid, most often glycolic acid. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is also be used. Aestheticians can perform only superficial peels. 2. Medium peels. This type of peel penetrates the skin more deeply than a superficial peel and can cause a reaction similar to a second-degree burn. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is the main peeling agent used for medium peels. Sometimes the peel is performed in several steps using a different chemical solution, such as resorcinol followed by TCA. Medium depth peels should only be performed by a physician. 3. Deep peels. These are the deepest type of chemical peel. They are used only on the face and should only be performed by a physician. The most common agent used in this peel is called phenol. Deep peels may not be used on darker skin types because they tend to bleach the skin (hypopigmentation). Even in lighter-skinned people, phenol peels—or any type of deep resurfacing—may cause hypo pigmentation. A deep peel is usually performed only once.
