This is a
comprehensive article on
chemical peels and we have discussed three types of
peels that also includes
light chemical peels and
Deep chemical peels. In
this part we discuss moderate-intensity procedure.
The
medium-strength peels are also very common and give good
results. These peels are usually offered at doctors’
offices or medical spas (medi-spas).
There are home-use kits sellers on the Internet, but how
good these are – we are not sure.
They
work better for skin rejuvenation,
discoloration,
improving skin tone and for fine lines. Their effect
on
acne, scarring, and dynamic
wrinkles is minimal.
The
procedure is fairly straightforward. The doctor cleans the
skin, puts the acid, and leaves it on for a few minutes.
During this time, there can be a burning sensation. That
is why some doctors or nurses will put a mask or a fan to
make it feel better, but the feeling last only a few
minutes. In some cases, a pill or sedative is used. After
the doctor takes away the residues, the skin can be quite
red and irritated. The outer skin will eventually peel off
and reveal a more
beautiful skin.
The TCA
treatment can be repeated to prolong or improve the
results. The average cost varies from $ 400 in a
spa for a lighter version to $ 2,000 in a doctor’s
office. |
