A chemical peel is a chemical solution placed on your skin (usually the face) which removes the outer layers of your skin unveiling fresh new skin. It is used to reduce wrinkles, lines, blemishes, uneven skin and in some cases to improve acne, facial scars and to remove pre-cancerous growths. Chemical
peels come in different strengths, depending on the amount of skin damage
you have you may choose a light peel or a deeper peel. The deeper the
peel the more results you will see, but theres also more recovery time
and risk involved. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a medium-depth peel. Fine wrinkles, pigmentation problems, freckling, sun damage, acne scars and blemishes are commonly treated with TCA. The results of TCA peel are more dramatic than those from an AHA, and less dramatic than and not as long lasting as those of a Phenol peel. Phenol is the strong solution and produces a deep peel. It is used mainly to treat patients with coarse facial wrinkles, damaged or blotchy skin caused by sun exposure or pre-cancerous growths. Not everyone is a candidate for a deep peel, phenol can lighten your skin and so your skin pigmentation is taken into consideration. The
procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis. Anesthesia
isn't After your peel, once the redness and flaking has subsided, (up to a week - 10 days with a mild-moderate peel, up to 14 days - a few months with a deeper peel) your skin will appear smooth and fresh, the deeper the peel the more dramatic the results. With a mild-moderate peel you may want to repeat the procedure at a later stage. With a deeper peel your results will be long lasting. A few important factors to consider before undergoing surgical skin procedures are skin colouring and medical history. Darker complexions and Asian skin may become permanently discoloured or blotchy. Those prone to allergic rashes or other skin reactions, or who get frequent fever blisters or cold sores, may experience a flare-up. Chemical peels, like many non-surgical procedures, do not have to be performed by a plastic surgeon, but care should be taken when choosing a clinic as there are risks involved if the treatment is not performed with care. All chemical peels carry some uncertainty and risk and you can imagine the horrific results you could get with someone untrained administering the peel. Many Canadian plastic surgeons have medical aesthetic staff performing chemical peel treatments at their clinics.
