A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the
appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is
applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The
new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
The new skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun. There are three
basic types of chemical peels:
Superficial or lunchtime peel: Alpha-hydroxy acid or another
mild acid is used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate
it. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration
and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands.
Medium
peel: Glycolic
or trichloroacetic acid is applied to penetrate the out and middle layers of
skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots,
fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discoloration. It also can
be used to smooth rough skin and treat some precancerous skin growths, i.e.
actinic keratosis.
Deep
peel: Tricholoracetic
acid or phenol is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to
remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots,
freckles and shallow scars. Patients will see a dramatic improvement in skin
appearance.
