CHEMICAL
PEELING (FACE AND BODY)
Despite
the popularity of microdermabrasion
and/or diamond peel machines;
a lot
of people still prefer chemical
peeling for skin rejuvenation. For one,
it is non-invasive and the method of application is fast and easy. And
primarily because it’s proven 100% effective and result is
long lasting…if done by the right hands.
Chemical peel is a skin rejuvenating procedure
that utilizes a chemical
solution applied to the skin surface to treat various skin conditions
such as fine lines and wrinkles, melasma, freckles, facial blemishes,
shallow acne scars, uneven skin pigmentation, and discoloration from
acne and sun damage. The procedure is safe and non-invasive, and
results will give you a youthful, softer, tighter and smoother skin.
Different chemicals are used in this procedure, our
clinic prefer a
very superficial peel solution called trichloroacetic
acid (TCA) because it has
limited effects, plus applying it entails very short time. You can have
it done in less than an hour, during your lunch break and then return
to work or school.
During the procedure, you will experience a burning or stinging
sensation but it can be well controlled with cool compresses. Healing
and exfoliation of the skin will take place for a few days, and by then
you will notice that the dead skin has totally peeled off, and are now
replaced with fresh, “pinkish”,
new skin surface.
TCA peels, in general, are safe; you can have it done several times
over a course of a few months. With good sun protection and right skin
care regimen, its result can last months and even years.
