Everyone likes to feel young not just from the activeness of the body but by skin as well. Wrinkles, scars, fine lines, discoloured skin, etc are some of the major skin issues that can damage the look of your face and make you look older than you are.
There
are many dermalogical treatments that can help you get rid of this problem and
sustain that ever young-looking skin.
One such solution is Chemical Peeling.
What is
Chemical Peeling?
Chemical
Peel refers to a surgical procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to
the skin which helps in removing the top layers of that particular area of the
skin. The result of this procedure is that the skin that grows back is much
smoother and less-problematic.
You can
choose the gravity of the procedure i.e. whether you want a light, medium or a deep
peel and based upon such gravity it would depend how many sittings you need to
undergo in order to finally start seeing the results that you desire. Deeper
peels help you get the desired results faster but they can also take longer to
recover.
It is a
procedure that can help get rid of issues like scars, discolouration of skin, melasma,
and wrinkles on your face. Therefore, chemical peel helps in removing damaged
skin cells.
Types
of chemical peels
There
are three types of chemical peels-
1.
Light /Superficial Peels- In
this kind of peel, very mild acids are used to gently exfoliate the skin. It
works best on the outermost layer of the skin
2.
Medium Peels- It uses acids
like glycolic acid and works by reaching the middle and the outer layer of the
skin. It is considered more effective in removing damaged skin cells.
3.
Deep Peels- This type of peel
fully penetrates the middle layer of the skin and effectively removes all the
damaged skin cells. It can require anaesthesia.
Different
types of peels can cost differently. Dr. Jyoti Sharma ensures to suggest you
the best cometic procedure depending upon your skin type. Usually, light peels
and medium peels cost much lesser than the deep peels. Therefore, it is always
advisable to contact your doctor and make an informed decision.
