What is a Chemical peel ? back to top For thousands of years, we have been using a range of substances from sour milk used by cleopatra, to fermented grape to improve complexions. Today there are lots different acids used in different strengths and combinations to improve skin problems.
Peels are used to improve the
appearance of sun-damaged skin, blemishes, acne scarring, wrinkles,
rosacea, and pigmentation problems.
There are three types of peel strengths
Superficial
chemical peel
back to top
Two weeks before the peel you will need to use a skin peel home care product, this is to be continued after the peel to maintain the effects.
A superficial chemical peel can be performed by a beauty therapist or a nurse and costs approx £60 + per peel treatment.
Superficial Chemical peel can include the following ingredients: Glycolic Acid Peel Mandelic Acid Peel Salicylic Acid Peel Azelaic Acid Peel Retinol Peel Kojic Acid Peel Lacitc Acid Peel Arginine Peel Pyruvic Acid Peel
The skin is cleansed and peel applied. The treated area turns whitish grey over several minutes. The peel is then neutralised. The face may swell when the peel is applied, and burning or stinging lasts for about an hour after treatment. A total sun block must be used after this peel. Recovery takes a week or more, depending on how quickly you heal because older skin heals more slowly. In the five to six days after treatment, the skin may turn dark brown, with white streaks. It will itch and begin to peel, after which the skin is bright red, fading to fresh pink over the next three to six weeks.
Hyper-pigmentation can occur even if you use sunscreens. Brown blotches can be treated with bleaching creams. The red face can sometimes last longer than two to three months.
A medium chemical peel can be performed by a nurse or doctor and costs approx £600 + per course of 4 peel treatment. Cost depends on the percentage of TCA used higher formulas are applied by doctors and are more expensive.
Medium chemical peel ingredients TCA Trichloroacetic acid Chemical Peel
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can be used in different
concentrations, but it is usually used for medium-depth peeling. TCA
acid will penetrate the skin much faster and deeper producing quicker
and more dramatic results therefor the result of TCA peel produces more
dramatic results than AHA peels Local anaesthetic is injected to freeze the face. You may also be sedated. The skin is cleansed and a strong peel applied and left on for around 30 minutes before being neutralised. Patients often feel unwell after a deep peel, and experience moderate to severe pain lasting several days. The face swells in the first two days and it can be very itchy during the healing process. It takes around two weeks before the face is healed enough for you to be seen in public. One treatment can produce dramatic results and the effects last for 10 years.
A deep chemical peel can be
performed by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon and costs approx £2,000
+ per chemical peel treatment. Deep chemical peel ingredients Phenol Chemical Peel Phenol acid is the strongest chemical peel solution, and it is used for the deepest possible chemical peel. Phenol peels are only used once and create dramatic results. Full-face phenol peels may take between one and two hours but phenol peels for small portions of the face, such as the upper lip, may take only 10 to 15 minutes. With a phenol peel, the new skin frequently loses its ability to make pigment (that is, tan). This means that not only will the skin be lighter in colour, but you'll always have to protect it from the sun.
