Chemical Peel Treatment in Lucknow

Chemical peel is a well-known technique used for aesthetic treatment. It is applied to your face and is made up of mild chemical solutions. These chemical peels are gently peeled off once the chemicals dry, which helps to exfoliate your skin. 

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that can be applied to the face, hands, and neck. They’re used to improve the appearance or feel of the skin. During this procedure, chemical solutions will be applied to the area being treated, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, appears less wrinkled, and may have less damage. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, appears less wrinkled, and may have less damage.

There are a number of reasons people may get chemical peels. They may be trying to treat a variety of things, including:

• wrinkles and fine lines

• sun damage

• acne scars

• hyperpigmentation

• scars

• melasma

• uneven skin tone or redness

What type of chemical peels can I get?

There are three different types of chemical peels that you can get. These include:

• For superficial peels, use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate. It only penetrates the outermost layer of skin.
• For medium peels, use trichloroacetic or glycolic acid to reach the middle and outer layers of skills. This makes it more effective for removing damaged skin cells.
• Deep peels, which fully penetrate the middle layer of the skin to remove damaged skin cells; peels often use phenol or trichloroacetic acid.

How is a chemical peel done?

Let me take you through a detailed explanation of the procedure steps used in a chemical peel treatment.

Procedure during a superficial chemical peel

• Skin is cleansed with a special cleanser to remove makeup and maintain pH levels of the skin
• Petroleum jelly is applied to the corners of the mouth, eyes, and nose to stop the extra application of the peel to these folds

• A cotton ball, brush, gauze, or sponge is used for the application of a chemical solution that contains salicylic acid or glycolic acid
• The treated skin starts whitening and you may have a sharp, burning sensation when the chemical solution is on the skin
• A neutralizing solution or wash is applied to remove the solution from the treated skin

Procedure during a medium chemical peel

• Skin is cleansed with a special cleanser to remove makeup and maintain pH levels of the skin
• Petroleum jelly is applied to the corners of the mouth, eyes, and nose to stop the extra application of the peel to these folds
• A chemical solution containing TCA, occasionally in combination with glycolic acid is applied using a gauze or a cotton-tipped applicator
• The treated skin begins whitening and after a few minutes cool compresses are applied to soothe the treated skin
• A hand-held fan might also be given to you to cool the skin
• A feeling of burning and stinging may occur for approximately 20 minutes

What results can you expect?

After a light skin peel, you can see an improvement in skin tone and texture with a decrease in fine wrinkles. At first, the results will be subtle. I advise you to avoid sun exposure after a light peel until the new skin completely covers the area treated.

After a medium peel, your skin will be noticeably smoother. You should also avoid sun exposure for several months.

After a deep peel, you can see a dramatic improvement in the feel and look of your skin. You will need to permanently protect your skin from the sun to prevent it from changing color.
