Chemical peeling is the “one-stop shop” for ageing, sun damage and acne problems.

1. (Chemical peeling)

2.  It is a deliberate and controlled damage to the skin, achieved
with the help of certain acids.
 It triggers the skin rejuvenation and cell renewal process of
the skin.
 The old stratum corneum which is dull and damaged is
sloughed off and the new and fresher skin cells come up,
giving the skin a bright look.
 The origins of skin peeling are found in the scrolls of ancient
Egypt, where the pharaohs used raw milk for skin
rejuvenation and maintaining their youthful appearance.

3.  Chemical peeling is the “one-stop shop” for ageing, sun
damage and acne problems.
 It reveals the youthful and vibrant skin by exfoliating the
dead upper layer of the skin.
 It unclogs the pores and treats acne.
 It reverses the signs of sun damage and rejuvenates the skin.
 Reverses the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
 Stimulate collagen synthesis.

4.  The epidermis is composed of five different layers among
which the stratum corneum is the uppermost and the
exposed layer.
 The constant exposure to the environment dulls the cells of
stratum corneum and clogs the pores resulting in acne, and
dual toned skin.
 the constant sun damage also results in skin ageing leading to
the damage of the collagen and elastin layers resulting in the
wrinkle formation.
 The chemical peeling addresses all these issues and reveals
the new you from within by peeling of the dull and damaged
upper layers of the skin.

5.  Sun damage
 Hyperpigmentation
 Age spots
 Acne and acne scars
 Dull skin
 Enlarged and clogged pores
 Superficial wrinkles and fine lines

6.  Superficial Peels
 Medium Depth Peels
 Deep Peels

7.  Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peels
 requires minimal downtime for the patients
 Work on superficial layers of the skin
 Ideal for the treatment of acne and clogged pores
 Glycolic Acid:
 Works from inside out by penetrating the intercellular matrix of the nasal layer
 The inflammatory responses signals the start of the cellular turnover process
 Comes in the concentration of 20% to 70% with pH ranging from 1.6 to 3.5.
 Lactic Acid:
 Works from the top layer of skin.
 Softens the hard keratin layers and sloughs them off.
 Hydrates and plumps the stratum corneum to make exfoliation easy
 Ideal for oily skin.
 Jessner’s Peel
 Combination of 14% lactic acid, 14% salicylic acid, and 14% resorcinol in a denatured alcohol base.
 very effective for treating acne, sun damage and photo ageing.
 Beta Hydroxy Acids:
 Utilizes salicylic acid for the peeling
 Effective for oily skin, grade 3 and 4 acne, and retention keratosis.
 Known as “melting peel due to its quick inflammation process.
 Comes in the strength of 20% and 30%

8.  Peel to reveal is an innovative chemical peeling technology.
 It is a complete skin rejuvenation process that does not leave the
skin bereft, midway after the exfoliation process unlike simple
chemical peels.
 Utilizes alpha and beta hydroxy acids along with several other
natural acids to exfoliate the dull an dead upper layer of the skin.
 Stimulates the collagen formation with the help of peptides and
growth factors.
 Nourishes the skin for the skin repair with the help of
multivitamins.
 It is a complete skin care treatment.

9.  Also known as TCA (Trichlor Acetic Acid) peel
 Acts on the epidermis and papillary dermis.
 More concentrate form may extend its effects up to the
reticular dermis.
 Available in the concentration of 30% to 50%.
 Not recommended for dark skinned people due to its post-
inflammatory hyperpigmentation effect.
 Recommended for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles,
blemishes and hyperpigmentation.
 Requires the downtime of a week at least to avoid the sun
damage for peeling.

10.  Reagent used to perform deep peeling is Phenol.
 Required at least two weeks of downtime.
 Performed in very rare cases.
 Performed under anesthesia with constant blood pressure
monitoring.
 Used to treat pre-cancerous growths, deep wrinkles, and
severe sun damage.
