Non Surgical Solutions : Chemical Peels
|
There are now several different types of chemical peels depending upon your particular condition and skin type.
Glycolic acid peels are commonly performed but are too superficial to be effective for significant skin problems. Green peels use herbal products to accomplish similar peels which are mild in terms of side effects, recovery time or in their ability to rejuvenate the skin.
Aziatic Acid peels (Amelan peel and the Krulig peel) are the most effective in treating melasma or mask of pregnancy.
TCA peels are superficial or deep and can be much more effective but require an experienced doctor and longer recovery by the patient (three to ten days depending on peel depth.)
Chemical peels can enhance the appearance of facial and other skin on men and women of all ages. While chemical peeling is available to almost everyone, skin type and coloring are important considerations. Before your surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your doctor. Remember, improvement, not perfection, is the goal.
