What Should I Consider When Choosing a Chemical Peel or Comparing To Other Treatments?
Below are just a few factors to think about when seeking skin rejuvenation services:
- Chemical peels can be used to treat many common skin conditions, including acne scarring, large pores, sun damage and uneven pigmentation.
- The ingredients used in each type of chemical peel are carefully selected for your specific skin type and condition, so it is vital that you work with a skilled dermatologist who can select the best chemical peel for your needs.
- There are several different types of chemical peels which can be used depending on your skin type and condition. These include traditional phenol peels, which penetrate deeply but must typically be performed in an operating room setting; glycolic acid peels, which are ideal for moderately thick scars or discolorations; trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, which are effective at removing deep scars or more severe discolorations; and salicylic acid peels, which may be most appropriate for acne scarring or other milder forms of scarring or discoloration.
- Most chemical peels will require some downtime for your skin to heal, and you may experience redness or irritation in the days following your peel procedure. Your dermatologist will provide instructions on how to care for the skin during this period, as well as any follow-up appointments that may be necessary.
