This is a safe and short procedure and generally does not require any anesthesia. Several types of chemical formulations are available for use. Some of the common chemicals in use are AHA (Alpha Hydroxyl Acid) - used for light peeling, TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) - used for moderate peeling and Phenol - used for deep peeling. Depending on the condition to be treated a chemical is carefully selected by the surgeon and applied on the face.

To avoid skin damage it is recommended that a surgeon AND NOT A BEAUTICIAN carry out this procedure.

Period Of

It takes about 15 minutes to cover a previously cleansed face with the chemical formulation. Between 1 to 2 hours the peel is removed. No hospitalization is generally required.

Post Operative

Treatment :

Recovery is fast and generally un-complicated. Depending on the chemical formulation used some ointment may or may not be recommended. Temporary conditions of swelling, redness, dryness irritation or stinging sensation either subside on their own or are controlled by light medication.

Depending on the type of peel used the recovery period will vary. For light peel there might be no major lay off but in case of deep peel there could be a lay off period extending to a week to 10 days.

The new emerging skin surface may be required to be protected from the sun for the recommended period.
