What Is A Chemical Facial Peel? |
 |
A chemical peel removes the surface layers
of the skin, creating a smoother, fresher-looking skin surface
and erasing wrinkles. The deeper the peel, the more extensive
the skin renewal. Medium and deep peels stimulate collagen
renewal, resulting in firmer skin and diminished wrinkles. |

| What Skin Care Types
Can Have Chemical Facial Peels? |
Both light and medium peels are
considered safe for people with all skin colors. Aging
skin has a greater buildup of dead skin cells, which
can create a dull look and clog pores. Light peels are
very effective at counteracting this problem. Deep peels
are not suitable for darker ethnic skin types.

How Long Does The Treatment
Take? |
| |
Light and medium peels take from thirty
to sixty minutes, and are performed without anesthesia. A
deep peel often takes two hours, and a painkiller or light
sedation is needed. |
|

|
| |
What Is The Downtime Or Recovery Time? |
| |
There is little or no downtime for light
peels. For a medium-depth peel, you will need to take at least
four to seven days off work, while a deep peel entails at
least two weeks of downtime. |

What Are The Risks Involed With Facial
Chemical Peels? |
| |
Both medium and deep peels carry risk
of scarring because the chemicals can burn the skin if they
are left on for too long. The risk is most significant for
a deep peel. Deep peels may cause a permanent change in skin
color; the face takes on an irreversible pallor. Postoperative
infections can cause unexpected complications. |

How Many Treatments Will I Need? |
| |
A light peel typically requires repeated
applications. For a medium or deep peel, one treatment usually
suffices. In general, the deeper the peel, the longer the
effect. A light peel must be repeated regularly, while a medium
peel will last up to a year. A deep peel will create permanent
results, although new wrinkles may form.
