Chemical peels speed up skin cell turnover essentially
making them skin resurfacing and exfoliation agents. The basic aim of
chemical peels is to replace the outer, dead layers of tired, sallow, blemished
and wrinkled skin to reveal the underlying areas of fresher, younger looking
skin.
This is done simply enough by the application of a chemical
peel to the skin that causes the top most layers to shed. Apart from the
obvious advantage of skin
cell re growth, it also promotes the generation of collagen in the
skin.
There are a variety of peels ranging from the superficial
depth peels to the deep ones, each for a different set of indications. Peels
contain a form of acidic compounds (AHAs), glycolic acid, salicylic acid,
lactic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or a combination of a few varieties.
Few peels are derived from fruits like glycolic peels ,the most commonly used
ones, are derived from sugarcane , lactic peels are derived from milk so they
are safe to be done even in pregnancy and while breastfeeding also .
Superficial depth peels can be repeated every 2 weeks and
around 6 to 10 sittings are required for the desired effect, but the deeper
ones have a longer lasting effect, so they should be repeated only after a
consultation with our doctor.
