Chemical Peeling<\/span><\/h1>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Sun exposure, acne and age can leave skin uneven, wrinkled, blotchy or scarred. If you want your skin to look smoother and more youthful, consider a chemical peel, which uses a chemical solution to smooth the skin's texture by removing damaged outer layers.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

<\/i>HOW DOES CHEMICAL PEELING ACT?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Chemical solutions are carefully applied to the skin to improve texture by removing damaged outer layers. The chemicals used are phenol, trichloroacetic acid and alpha hydroxy acids. Each one has a different purpose. The formula used by your doctor will be adjusted to meet your specific needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although chemical peels are mainly used on the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on the neck and hands.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>SURFACE CHEMICAL PEELING<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Subtle improvements at first, but with gradual improvement with additional treatments.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have uneven pigment, dryness, acne or superficial wrinkles, a superficial chemical peel may be the right choice. This type of peel only removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis) with a light exfoliation, resulting in a healthy glow. The doctor will use a combination of alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and maleic acid. All of these chemicals are mild. You can repeat these treatments weekly, for up to six weeks, to achieve the desired results.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>PROCEDURE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

\u2022 Your face must be clean;<\/span>
\n\u2022 The chemical solution is spread onto your skin and remains for up to 10 minutes. You may feel a slight burning sensation;<\/span>
\n\u2022 The chemical peel is then removed and neutralized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Return once a month to keep your skin treated.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>CONSIDERATIONS FOR EACH SKIN TYPE INCLUDE:<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Superficial chemical peeling<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You are likely to experience some redness, peeling skin, burning and irritation. After repeated treatments, these side effects are likely to subside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other risks include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Hyperpigmentation. The new skin may have a lot of pigment, and brownish spots may appear due to exposure to sunlight. Therefore, always use sunscreen with a high protection factor;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Infection.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>MEDIUM CHEMICAL PEELING<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Your skin will appear smoother<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Acne scars, deeper wrinkles and uneven skin tone can be treated with a medium chemical peel . The chemicals used for this type of peeling will remove epithelial cells from both the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and the upper part of its middle layer (dermis). The doctor will use trichloroacetic acid, sometimes used in combination with glycolic acid.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>PROCEDURE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

\u2022 Your face must be clean;<\/span>
\n\u2022 The chemical solution is spread onto your skin and left on for just a few minutes. You may feel a slight burning sensation;<\/span>
\n\u2022 The treated area may appear whitish-gray;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Chemicals are neutralized with cold saline compresses;<\/span>
\n\u2022 The skin may turn red or brown in the days following the peel. It may take up to six weeks for the results to appear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medium chemical peeling can be performed every 6 \u2013 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>CONSIDERATIONS FOR EACH SKIN TYPE INCLUDE:<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Medium chemical peel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When trichloroacetic acid is used in a medium chemical peel procedure , you will experience redness, burning, and peeling of the skin like a superficial chemical peel . Although these substances do not bleach your skin, some color changes may occur. You are asked to avoid the sun for several months to protect the new layer of skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other risks include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Hyperpigmentation (brown spots), which can even occur with the use of sunscreen;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Redness, which occurs in everyone after peeling, and may take more than a few months to subside in some people;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Permanent scars are another risk, but infrequent.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>DEEP CHEMICAL PEELING<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The results are excellent, however, recovery takes longer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have deep facial wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, scars, blotchy-looking areas, or even precancerous lesions, a deep peel may be the right choice for you. Your doctor will use a stronger substance called phenol, which penetrates the lower layer of your skin (dermis). For this type of peeling, local anesthetic and sedation may be necessary to reduce any discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>PROCEDURE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Deep chemical peels usually involve some type of pre-treatment for up to eight weeks. This stage of the treatment will prepare your skin for the peel and speed up the healing process. Pre-treatment may include the use of a medication derived from vitamin A, with the aim of thinning the superficial layer of the skin, allowing the chemical solution to penetrate more evenly and deeply. If you cannot tolerate this pretreatment, your doctor may prescribe other options.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 You will undergo sedation. Local anesthetic will be applied to your face;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Your face will be clean;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Phenol is spread over the area and can remain for 30 minutes, up to two hours. The chemical is neutralized with water;<\/span>
\n\u2022 After letting the skin rest for an hour, a thick layer of petroleum jelly is applied to the skin, covering any scabs that have developed. The petroleum jelly should remain in place for up to two days. Occasionally, the doctor will choose to cover the skin with strips of tape opening for the eyes and mouth, rather than applying a layer of petroleum jelly. Your doctor will choose this approach if you have severe wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>CONSIDERATIONS FOR EACH SKIN TYPE INCLUDE:<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Deep chemical peeling<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chemical used for this type of peel , phenol, lightens the skin. Your skin tone can be a determining factor in whether or not this is a suitable treatment for you. With this type of peel , your new skin may lose its ability to develop pigment (tan). It will always be necessary to protect your skin from the sun. Phenol may also pose a special risk to people with heart disease. Be sure to tell your doctor about any heart problems and put them in your medical history. Other risks include:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Redness, which can last three to four months;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Cysts or white spots may appear with a deep peel and may last for several weeks;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Scarring is a frequent risk;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Some areas of your skin may permanently lose pigment;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Hyperpigmentation (brown spots), which can appear even with the use of sunscreen.<\/span><\/p>\n

A deep chemical peel requires that you have adequate recovery time. You can return to work and some of your normal activities two weeks after treatment. During this time your skin already tolerates the use of makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS, RISKS AND RECOVERY<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

It is necessary to understand that all chemical peels present some risks and uncertainties. It is generally a very safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. It happens rarely, but there may be infection or scarring. For people with certain skin types, there is a risk of temporary or permanent skin color changes. Use of birth control, pregnancy, or a family history of brownish discoloration of the skin may increase the possibility of developing abnormal pigmentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you've already had cold sores, there's a small risk of reactivation. Be sure to inform your doctor as he or she may prescribe medication before and immediately after the chemical peel in order to prevent reappearance. Tell your doctor if you have a history of keloids or any unusual scarring tendencies.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>IS CHEMICAL PEELING RIGHT FOR ME?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Now that you know how facial chemical peeling can act on your skin, it is important to understand what cannot be achieved with chemical peeling treatment:<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Treat deep wrinkles;<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Treat excess or sagging skin;<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Stimulate collagen production;<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Remove small visible vessels;<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Change pore size;<\/span>
\n\n\u2022 Remove deep scars.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are not a good candidate for chemical peeling if you have:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 History of scarred skin;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Abnormal pigmentation;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Black or Asian origin;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Warts;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Red hair and fair skin with freckles;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Have had acne treatments in the last year.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT IS THE COST OF THE CHEMICAL PEELING PROCEDURE?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Cost is always a consideration in elective procedures or treatment. The cost of a chemical peel can vary depending on experience and qualifications.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>ADDITIONAL COSTS MAY INCLUDE:<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

\u2022 Operating room costs;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Anesthetist's fees;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Prescription medications.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>YOUR SATISFACTION IS WORTH MORE THAN THE COSTS OF THE PROCEDURE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

When choosing a plastic surgeon to perform a chemical peel , remember that the surgeon's experience and your good relationship with him are as important as the final cost of the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
