There are many types
of chemical peels. It will depend on the type of chemical used and on how long
the chemical soaks into the skin. The depth of the peel will depend on the acid
present in the peeling agent, the number of coats applied, and the amount of
time that it is allowed to remain on the skin before the acid is neutralized.
Deeper peels are capable of providing dramatic results.
There
are three basic types of peels
Superficial
Peels
These peels are the mildest of the chemical peels.
They can be used for all types of skin. They consist of a mild or dilute acid
like glycolic acid.
Medium
Peels
These peels can soak deeper into the skin when
compared with superficial peels. Trichloroacetic acid is the peeling agent that
is used in these peels. Different chemicals can be used with the peel in
several steps followed by trichloroacetic acid.
Deep
Peels
Deep peels will penetrate several layers of skin.
They are only used on the face. A chemical known as phenol is typically used in
deep peels. Deep peels may not be preferred on darker skin because they come
with a bleaching effect. Even lighter skin may be bleached when phenol or any
other type of deep resurfacing is used.
How
well do chemical peels work?
Superficial peels are capable of reducing the sign
of aging and skin damage, but may not remove them. The results may not be
visible immediately but when they are, you may only see small changes. You may
require repeated peels to get the desired effect.
A medium peel can be effective in reducing fine
wrinkles, signs of sun damage, and evening out pigment difference. You may
require a second peel after three to six months to get the best effect. A
single deep peel will be able to remove wrinkles and tighten skin. The effects
will be dramatic but a person cannot repeat phenol peels.
