Chemical Peels
● Effects of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are topical solutions applied to the skin to improve and smooth
the texture of the skin by removing damaged outer layers. Chemical Peels can be
applied to the face and body areas such as the back, hands, chest.
Thousands of skin cells die on a daily basis, they flake off and are replaced
with new ones, peels essentially help to speed up this process. Peels are a like
type of controlled burn, with resultant collagen remodelling and resurfacing of
the skin revealing the underlying fresh smooth skin. With the increased interest
in non-surgical skin rejuvenation, chemical peeling has had a huge resurgence
because of its visible results and availability.
Chemical Peels are widely used for:
Wrinkles, Ance, Sun damage, Large pores, Hyperpigmentation, Superficial scares,
Stretch Marks, Rosacea
● Peeling & Healing
Recovery time after a chemical peel depends on what kind of peel was done, with
all types of peels after care is essential to speed up healing, enhance results
and prevent any problems occurring. As a general rule the deeper the peel the
more dramatic the result but the longer time to heal and increased risks. Common
effects after chemical peels are redness, flaking, scaling, and increased sun
sensitivity.
● Chemical Peel V Microdermabrasion
Both chemical superficial peels and Microdermabrasion address superficial skin
irregularities on the top layer of skin albeit in a different way, Chemical
peels change the composition of the skin delivering a very controlled peel with
peeling agents for specific problems, while Microdermabrasion is slightly more
aggressive involving a kind of sanding or buffing of the top layer of skin.
● AHA & BHAs
AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are a group of acids derived from natural sources
these acids can be used individually or mixed together in. Essentially they all
offer similar peeling effects but some have more benefit for certain skin types
than others.
The BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) used in peeling is Salicylic acid
derived from leaves and has been use to treat acne for decades unlike the AHAs
which are water soluble Salicylic is oil soluble and can exfoliate oil rich
pores.
AHAs mixed with BHAs is called an Alpha Beta peel and is
considered to have the benefits of both acids.
● Other Acids
Arginine an amino acid from brown sugar, Azelaic acid from grains
which is a Dicarboxylic acid, Retinol A from Vitamin A. Pyruvic acid considered
a medium peel although it’s a Alpha keto acid it turns into Lactic acid so it
AHA like. Lastly The chemicals of TCA and Phenol and not from natural substances
and are medium-deep peels.

Levels of Chemical Peels
Very Superficial peel
Known as the "lunchtime peel" is a quick and affordable treatment. The skin
immediately looks brighter and more radiant, and you can go straight back to
normal daily life, applied by beauty therapists. Superficial peels penetrate the
epidermis only. The skin becomes flushed or mottled, skin generally does not
shed with this peel.
Superficial peel
As above but skin can frost in places and shed very lightly for several
days.
Medium-depth peel (TCA)
Stronger formulas are used, recovery takes up to 2 weeks, depending on how
quickly you heal.
Medium-depth peels affect the entire epidermis and the papillary and upper
reticular dermis. The skin develops a white frost all over after a couple of
minutes. After the peel a dark crust develops and peels off on day 5 to 7.
A medium chemical peel should not be performed more than once a year.
Deep Chemical peel (Phenol)
Local anaesthetic is needed. You may also be sedated. Can take months for skin
to recover but one treatment can
produce dramatic results and the effects last for 10 years. Administered by
dermatologists or plastic surgeons only. Deep peels penetrate to the
mid-reticular dermis. The skin develops a dead white colour like wax doll look.
