Chemical Face Peel

What is chemical face peels?

Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve & smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers or the top layer so that a new skin layer can regenerate. The new skin is smoother & less wrinkled than the old skin, & may also be more even in color. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles & uneven skin pigmentation.

Chemical peels use several types of acid solutions to improve & smooth the texture of your facial skin but alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's), trichloroacetic acids (TCA) & phenol are the most popular in the chemical face peel. The AHA's peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for people who can't spare the time to recover from a phenol or TCA peel. The TCA is most commonly used for medium-depth peeling. Fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes & pigment problems are commonly treated with TCA. Although chemical peels may be done in conjunction with a facelift, the peel is not a substitute for that surgery, nor will it stop aging. A chemical peel is most useful for fine wrinkles on cheeks, foreHuman head & around the eyes & the vertical wrinkles around the mouth.
