Chemical peels are an effective type of skin resurfacing that is used to take away the disrupted layers of skin which leaving the skin under the resurfacing process healthy and more even.
Light Chemical Peels: A Rapid Renewal.
Superficial peels, also known as light chemical peels, are those that have a single target, which is the topmost skin layer called the epidermis. Chemical peel treatment in Coimbatore usually incorporates mild acids like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to target dead skin cells and gently peel off the skin.
Light peels can be used to treat mild skin problems including: due to the fact that they work on the surface.
* Lack of evenness in the skin colour and some slight discolouration.
* Rough or dull texture
* Sensitive skin and blocked pores.
* Minor fine lines and dryness
The therapy lasts approximately 30 minutes and could give a slight tingling effect. There is minimal or no downtime but there can be a temporary redness or a “sunburn-like sensation.
Intermediate Chemical Peels: Deep Renewal.
Medium peels also enter deeper into the skin than the light ones. They may apply more concentrated acids such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or more concentrated mixtures of AHAs. These peels exfoliate the epidermis and the topmost layer of the dermis so that they are useful in more advanced skin issues.
Medium chemical peels have the advantage of:
* Fine lines and wrinkles
*Slight sunburn and age spots.
* Uneven pigmentation
* Scars and texture defects of acne.
Due to the fact that they penetrate deeper through the skin layers, the medium peels in most cases result in the appearance of a peeled skin with the redness that may last up to 5-7 days. The recovery period is longer than the light peels, but the appearance is more prominent in regard to the skin, and evenness.
Deep Chemical Peels: Radical Change.
The most intensive in nature are deep chemical peels and they are developed to suit people with serious skin issues. These peels employ harsh compounds like high percentages of TCA or phenol to penetrate to the deeper dermis levels.
Deep peels are suitable for:
* Deep wrinkles and lines
* Severe sun damage
* Stubborn acne scars
* Deep pigmentation issues
Due to the penetration of these peels being this deep, the skin experiences a significant healing process. The duration of downtime is two to three weeks or more with peeling, swelling, and sensitivity. Safe recovery is impossible without aftercare. Deep peels are not often repeated (only in rare cases one time or a couple of times during the whole life), however, the results can be dramatic and long-lasting and the effect on skin surface and texture can be greatly enhanced.
How to select the Right Peel.
Choosing light, medium or deep chemical peels will depend on the type of skin you have, your particular concerns and how much you can afford to spend on your time off.
