CHEMICAL PEEL
A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, eventually causing it to peel off. The new, regenerated skin is typically smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne scars, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
ARE ALL CHEMICAL PEELS THE SAME?
No, all chemical peels are not the same. They can vary in several key aspects, such as the type of chemical solution used, the concentration of the active ingredients, the depth of penetration into the skin, and the duration of the treatment.
HOW DOES DR SANDEEP DECIDE ON THE PEEL FOR ME?
The choice and concentration for a chemical peel is influenced by several factors, each of which contributes to the overall effectiveness and safety of the treatment. Here are some of the key considerations:
SKIN TYPE AND CONDITION
Different skin types (oily, dry, combination) and conditions (acne, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles) may require different concentrations to achieve the desired results.
TREATMENT GOALS
The concentration is often adjusted based on what the treatment aims to achieve, whether it’s to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or treat hyperpigmentation.
SENSITIVITY AND TOLERANCE
Some individuals may have sensitive skin that reacts adversely to higher concentrations. A patch test may be performed to gauge skin sensitivity.
PREVIOUS TREATMENTS
If you’ve had chemical peels or other skin treatments before, your skin may have developed a tolerance to certain concentrations, necessitating a stronger solution for the same effects.
DEPTH OF PENETRATION
Higher concentrations will penetrate the skin more deeply, affecting not just the epidermis but potentially also the underlying dermis. The choice between a superficial, medium, or deep peel will impact the concentration used.
SAFETY CONCERNS
Higher concentrations come with increased risks of complications like scarring, infection, and pigmentation changes. Safety is a paramount concern when choosing the concentration.
DOWNTIME
Higher concentrations usually require a longer recovery period. Your availability for downtime may influence the choice of concentration.
ADJUNCT TREATMENTS
Sometimes, chemical peels are part of a larger treatment plan that includes other procedures like laser treatments or fillers. The concentration may be adjusted to account for these additional treatments.
HOW ARE CHEMICAL PEELS CLASSIFIED?
Based on the depth of peel they are classified as superficial, medium and deep peels.
