CHEMICAL PEELS

The skin is composed of the epidermis and the dermis. Within the dermis are layers constructed of collagen, long fibers that loosen and stretch with age and sun damage. Chemical peels, can be used to resurface the layers of the skin to reverse the changes of aging and sun damage.
In a chemical peel, the esthetician applies one of several chemicals to the skin. Glycolic acid, TCA or trichloroacetic acid, and phenol are commonly used agents in skin resurfacing. These can be applied to the skin in varying strengths to achieve superficial, medium, or deep-depth chemical peeling. Your facial esthetician can help you decide which chemical peel is right for your skin. Before any peel, the face is first thoroughly cleansed with a solution to remove oil and to prepare the skin for treatment. As the chemical is applied, it penetrates into the epidermis and the upper layer of the dermis. As the treated skin heals, new collagen is formed and the skin becomes smoother. Age spots due to sun exposure can also be improved with chemical peels.
