Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that can be applied to the face, hands, and neck. They’re used to improve the appearance and feel of the skin. During this procedure, chemical solutions will be applied to the area being treated, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, appears less wrinkled, and have less damage. There are a number of reasons people may get chemical peels. They may be trying to treat a variety of concerns, including: wrinkles and fine lines, sun damage, problematic skin with breakouts, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma,uneven skin tone or redness
Light peel During a light peel a brush will be used to apply a chemical solution like glycolic acid to the area being treated. The skin may have a slight stinging sensation. Once complete, the chemical solution will be removed or a neutralizing solution will be added. Medium peel During a medium chemical peel, your doctor will use a gauze, special sponge, or a cotton-tipped applicator to apply the chemical solution to your face. This solution may contain a mixture of active ingedients including Retinol, NeoCitrate, Glycolic Acid, Salycilic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
Chemical peels are typically done in-office; Your face will be cleaned, and prepared for the treatment. Depending on the depth of the peel, the product will be applied to the face for a set amount of time and you will be observed to see how your skin reacts to the product applied
You can get a chemical peel in a doctor’s office The professional who does your peel will first clean your skin thoroughly. Then they will apply one or more chemical solutions — such as glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol) — to areas of your skin. That creates a controlled wound, letting new skin take its place. During a chemical peel, most people feel a burning sensation that lasts about five to ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. Putting cool compresses on the skin may ease that stinging. You may need pain medication during or after a deeper peel.
