Skin peeling involves an application of
chemical solution to sun-damaged, unevenly
pigmented, and finely wrinkled facial areas.
The procedure is meant to diminish
imperfections by peeling away the skin’s top
layers. It has proven to be a very popular
cosmetic procedure; chemical peels vary
according to their specific ingredients and
their strength. Laser & Intensive Skin Care,
PA uses salicylic acid peels, TCA peels, and
glycolic acid peels that range in strength
from 30%-70%. We're excited to be offering
the latest sensation in peels! The VI peel
was designed for people on the go who would
like more visible results than a light peel
offers, but cannot commit to the down time
of a deeper peel. Using the combined efforts
of TCA, salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic
acid, vitamins and microelements it is a
proven effective treatment for aging,
hyperpigmentation and acne. Depth of peeling action may
also depend on factors such as how long
solutions remain on the skin an whether they
are lightly applied, or more heavily or
vigorously applied.
Technique
The doctor will select the best chemical peel
for the individual patient. A solution is
applied-using a gauze saturated with the
strength of AHA selected to the areas to be
treated (or the entire face, avoiding the
eyes, brows and lips. Generally, the most
superficial peels are those using glycolic
acid. Various concentrations of an AHA may
be applied weekly or at longer intervals to
obtain the best result.
