Chemical skin peel is a procedure that gets rid of the top signs of aging, such as dead skin cells, acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. It can also even out the skin tone. The treatment makes use of acids such as glycolic, TCA, or AHA depending on how deep the peel should be. The treatment should take around fifteen to thirty minutes; the number of coats will determine the length of the procedure.
You might
be wondering—what should you expect when you get a chemical skin peel? The
first step is cleansing the skin. The acidic solution is then applied, followed
by a neutralising solution. You will experience some tingling sensation during
the procedure. Post-peel, you might also see some skin irritation,
inflammation, and redness, all of which are normal and will go away over time.
After a few days, the skin will feel tighter and look darker. Do not panic—this
is the chemical peel at work. In four to seven days, the skin will crack and
peel to reveal your brighter, more even skin.
After the chemical skin peel, there are certain post-treatment instructions that
you should follow to get the best results possible. You are advised to wash your
skin with clean water. If your cosmetic surgeon prescribes a cleanser, use it
accordingly. The peel will dry your skin, which is why it is vital to
moisturise regularly. Avoid direct contact with sunlight for at least the first
two weeks. If you cannot stay away from the sun, make sure to use sunscreen and
do not stay out for too long. The skin will be irritated for some time so avoid
touching it.
If you
plan on having a peel to make your skin look better, you need to get a good
doctor to get the best results. One of the best cosmetic surgeons in the
country has over fifteen years of medical experience. He has won awards and has
successfully done thousands of operations. Most importantly, he is registered
with the GMC or the General Medical Council and is an active member of the
BAAPS or the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
