Chemical Peel Treatment Bangalore

A chemical peel is a technique which involves application of an acid solution in order to improve the properties of the skin on the face, neck or hands mainly. The chemical solution thus applied to the skin causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off giving way to the generation of fresh skin. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the older one because it has come up as a result of the regenerative mode the tissues had got into. Alpha Hydroxy acids (AHA), Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or phenol are the most commonly applied chemicals for the chemical peeling procedure.

There are three broader classifications of Chemical Peels.

Superficial Peels: Mostly done by Alpha Hydroxy Acids or other mild acids which are capable of penetrating only the outer layer of skin. These peels works to gently exfoliate and hence improve upon mild cases of skin discoloration and rough skin texture.
Medium Peels: Done using Glycolic or Trichloroacetic Acid, these peels have the ability to penetrate up to the middle layers of the skin in order to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment helps in reducing age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, freckles as well as moderate extents of skin discoloration.
Deep Peels: Involve usage of Trichloroacetic acid or phenol in stronger concentrations to deeply penetrate beyond the middle skin layer and remove the damaged cells. The treatment is effective in removal of moderate lines, freckles and shallow scars.
