Procedure
A chemical peel is a most commonly done procedure in any dermatology clinic. It’s a lunchtime procedure that hardly takes 15 to 20 minutes with little or no downtime as against the name where it is little or no skin peeling after most of the peels are done these days.
Your doctor will ask you the history of topical applications on your skin before starting a peeling treatment. You might be suggested to discontinue all the retinoid-based creams or exfoliants few days before the procedure.
The various steps of a chemical peel procedure are as follows:
- Your therapist will cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any applications, male up or dirt on the skin surface.
- After cleansing , your dermatologist might like to do a little microdermabrasion to remove the excess dead cells over your skin allowing for a better penetration and better radiance, but this step is completely subjective to your dermatologist’s opinion and cannot be combined with every type of peel.
- Your therapist will apply a layer of the chemical solution to your face which can vary in form to a cream based , gel based or lotion based.
- In few peels like retinoid based peels or yellow peels, an activating serum is first applied which actually acts as an activator of the actual peeling agent.
- Depending upon the type of peel used, the application time may vary from few mins to 15 mins. During this entire time, your skin is closely monitored by your doctor for any signs of redness, irritant reaction or adverse reaction.
- After the desired time, your skin is cleansed again with water or a neutralizing agent to remove the peeling solution completely
- A liberal amount of a bland emollient and a sunscreen is applied on the face after the procedure.
Post care after a chemical peel procedure
- After a chemical peel, skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so a broad spectrum sunscreen has to be applied once or twice every day.
- Limit your time in the sun, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
- All kinds of unnecessary procedures like a face waxing, bleaching , make up applications or salon facials must be avoided for atleast a week after a chemical peel treatment.
What To Expect After a Chemical peel
Most of the modern-day peels have negligible or no downtime. A few peels like retinoic acid-based peels popularly known as the yellow peels can lead to mild flaking off of the superficial layer of the skin for 3 to 5 days during which you are supposed to take good sun protection.
A chemical peel treatment can be repeated every 2 to 3 weeks depending upon your skin concern and the type of peel chosen for you by your doctor.
An average of 5 to 6 sessions are most of the times needed to have an appreciable improvement in the skin tone and texture.
