Reveal New Skin with Skin Peeling
If you want to improve fine facial wrinkling, hyperpigmentation, and other skin defects, skin peeling is probably one of the few skin treatments that can deliver amazing results.
Skin peeling involves the application of solutions to the entire face or the affected area. A protective crust usually forms several days after the treatment. When removed, the skin underneath will be a bright pink. There are various types of skin peeling and your dermatologist can determine which one suits your needs best.
Among the types of skin peeling, the most popular are glycolic, TCA, and the blue peel. Glycolic Peels are ideal for people who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, age spots and sun-damaged skin. TCA of trichloroacetic acid peel improves dull, weathered skin, freckling, shallow acne scars and blotchy pigmentation. On the other hand, Blue Peel suits people with blemish-prone skin, pigmentation problems and poor skin quality.
In general, age and wrinkling due to environment factors are still the common indicators of skin peeling. Skin conditions that are most likely to have good response to skin peeling includes fine wrinkling with dry, thin skin; diffuse facial keratoses with wrinkling; superficial acne scarring; and post-traumatic facial scarring.
While skin peeling today has been greatly improved by medical technology, people with very dark skin should still take extra caution before committing themselves to the procedure.
