By Dr. Janna Maher | Submitted On August 01, 2016 Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article Expert Author Dr. Janna Maher Chemical peels involve applying a topical agent to the skin to exfoliate damaged skin while stimulating collagen production for firmer skin. The popularity of this kind of treatment lessened when lasers became the popular method for treating wrinkles and brown spots but chemical peels still play a significant role in skin resurfacing. What Do Peels Contain? Peel solutions most typically contain either alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), tricholoracetic acid (TCA), or phenol as the exfoliating agent. The depth of the peel on the skin can range from superficial to medium or deep. Results are closely linked to the depth performed. Superficial peels offer far less dramatic improvement than medium or deep treatments do. Overall, you can expect improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, skin discolorations, skin texture, rebuilding of collagen, removal of blackheads, and a temporary reduction in excessive oil production. What Can a Peel Do... and Not Do? Chemical peels in any form cannot reduce the appearance of blood vessels, change the appearance of enlarged pores, and they do not have an effect on scarring. They can make skin smoother, help fade brown spots, and generally make skin's surface look fresher and younger. Having one done every 6-8 weeks will lead to collagen stimulation that improves the appearance of wrinkles.? Many dermatologists are forgoing deeper peels. Complications can include scarring, infection, temporary or permanent changes in skin color, and cold sore breakouts for those with a history of cold sores. AHA Peels AHA peels use glycolic acid and these are considered superficial to medium treatments. AHA peels are effective in improving skin texture, causing some collagen and elastin rebuilding, minimally reducing the appearance of acne scars, and reducing the appearance of skin discolorations. Repeated treatments are necessary to maintain results. BHA Peels BHA or salicylic acid peels have specific advantages for some skin types as irritation may be reduced. A deep BHA peel can be superior for many skin types because the irritation and inflammation are kept to a minimum. Salicylic acid is also lipid soluble; therefore, it is a good peeling agent for blemish-prone skin with blackheads. TCA Peels TCA peels are superficial to medium peels and have been around for years with a history of being effective and safe. TCA treatments are best for fine lines but are minimally effective on deeper wrinkling. Phenol Peels Phenol is generally used to treat limited areas of the face, such as deep wrinkles around the mouth, but it may permanently bleach the skin, leaving a visible line between the treated and untreated areas. Although phenol produces the most remarkable resolution of damage and wrinkling, it also possesses some of the more serious side effects. What About At-Home Peels? If used incorrectly or too often, at-home peels can cause burns, extremely sensitive skin, discolorations, and persistently dry skin that doesn't respond moisturizers. If you decide try one, proceed with caution! The Final Decision Whether to have a peel and what type to get depends on the condition of your skin and your skin type. Most important is for you to know that a peel isn't an anti-aging cure-all. Peels are helpful for improving skin tone, texture, and for some cases of brown spots. For best results, they must be accompanied by daily use of a well-formulated sunscreen SPF 25 or greater and a smart anti-aging skin-care routine.
