Peels
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is most commonly performed
for cosmetic reasons, to enhance appearance and self-confidence.
Chemical peel therapy may be performed in conjunction with other
treatments. However a chemical peel is not a substitute for a facelift,
and does not prevent or slow the ageing process.
Chemical peeling uses a chemical solution
in order to improve the skin's appearance. It can reduce or eliminate
fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, correct uneven skin
pigmentation, treat acne and soften the appearance of scars caused
by acne. The procedure can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles
caused by sun damage as well as skin blemishes common with age and
heredity. Chemical peels can be performed on the face hands and
all other body areas.
What Conditions Can Improve With Treatment?
Age and Liver Spots (Lentigines) usually
categorised by flat, brown areas with round edges usually found
on the face, hands, back and feet. They are age-related and photoageing
related, and have nothing to do with the liver. While they are unsightly,
they are not usually dangerous.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can be successful
in the effective treatment of:
- Reduction of smooth fine surface wrinkles
- Reduction of superficial blemishes
- Correction of pigment problems
- Reduction of Acne / Acne Scarring
Anaesthesia is not required for TCA
peels. Two or more TCA peels may be required over several courses
to obtain the desired improvements.
