CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance
of the skin. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied
to the skin, which causes damage to the skin causing it to peel
off. This results in the formation of a new layer of skin which
is usually smoother, more even in colour, less wrinkled and therefore
more youthful looking.
Chemical peels cannot remove loose or sagging skin and do not
serve the same function as a face lift, brow lift, or eyelid lift.
Chemical peeling will not remove deep scars.
Chemical peeling is often used to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
Wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging and hereditary factors can
often be reduced or even eliminated with this procedure. Brown
marks often called "age spots", permanent freckles, or other pigmentary
changes of the skin can also respond extremely well to chemical
peels. Mild scarring and certain types of acne can be treated
with chemical peels. In addition, pigmentation of the skin in
the form of sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, blotchiness,
and skin that is dull in texture and color may be improved with
chemical peeling. Areas of sun-damaged skin, spots of precancerous
areas may improve after chemical peeling. Following treatment,
new lesions or patches are less likely to appear.
procedure can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms
and legs. Peeling agents come in different forms and strengths.
The stronger the agent the deeper the injury the more dramatic
the results. Superficial peel, like glycolic acid peels or sometimes-called
lunchtime peels will give some improvement to the texture and
tone of the skin. The skin often looks revitalized and brings
back a glow and shine with mild changes to small wrinkles. The
deeper peels will result in a greater change in the appearance
of the skin with more marked changes in texture and tone.
Superficial peels usually result in mild redness and some dry
or scaling patches on the skin for a few days. These are not usually
easily noticed and often easily covered in desired.
COSMELAN PEELS
Cosmelan is a peel that is used to improve pigmentation in the skin. It is deigned to help those with blotchy or irregularly pigmented skin. This pigment is usually caused by either sun exposure or increased hormone levels (melasma or cholasma).This peel works by inhibiting the enzyme that causes the cells that produce the excess pigment. This results in a great improvement of the existing brown marks or discoloration as well as preventing further marks from forming.
