Different Kinds Of Chemical Peels
Alphahydroxy acids - Alphahydroxy acids are skin-peeling
chemicals. These acidic chemicals are mild in nature and gentle in reaction.
The application of alphahydroxy acids makes the skin wrinkle free. They
are also used to remove dry areas, acne and uneven pigmentation. These
chemicals acids include lactic, glycolic and fruit acids.
Trichloroacetic acids - The application of trichloroacetic
acids in peeling skin is highly effective. These acidic chemicals are
preventive for the skin against pigment problems, superficial blemishes
and surface wrinkles. They are usually applied on the skin around the
neck and other parts of the body.
Phenol - Among the chemical peels, phenol is the strongest
and most effective. It is put into application to remove rigid wrinkles
and lines on the facial skin. It proves effective against pre-cancerous
growths in the sunburnt skin. Phenol treatment is recommended on the basis
of the types of skin pigmentation as it drastically lightens the areas
under treatment. People with dark skin should not take to this sort of
chemical skin treatment. Heart patients are also advised not to undergo
this phenol treatment.
Chemical facial peels b-LIFTx - It is a new formulation
of salicylic acid. Its application removes small imperfections and rub
out wrinkles on the surface of the skin. This procedure of chemical skin
treatment not only sloughs off the dead cells in the surface of the skin
but also stimulates new, healthy and living cells in the outer layers
of the skin.
The risks that chemical peels involve
A qualified and experienced surgeon executes the procedure of chemical peel safely. However, the application of chemicals more than what is necessary may go reverse to infect or scar the area of the skin under treatment.
Side effects that arise from the application of Alphahydroxy acids include stinging, irritation, crusting and redness.
Chemical peels using Trichloroacetic acids may cause undesirable changes in the natural color of the skin.
Application of phenol peels may put persons who are affected with heart problems at a risk of developing complications.
Recovery
In case of chemical peels using phenol, it takes to recover absolutely from the impact of treatment. Phenol skin treatment bears long-term effects. Persons who undergo chemical skin peels by application of Trichloroacetic acids and Alphahydroxy acids recover within a short period of time. However, the period of recovery depends on the kind of chemical peels.
