Chemical Peels for Acne Scar Treatment |
Chemical Peels for acne scars
A chemical peel is the procedure used to treat and remove mild acne scars. The chemical peel involves the application of different kinds of acids onto the skin. The kind of acid applied depends upon your skin condition and the type of scars that need to be treated. The mild peels are usually made from alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), the medium peels are usually made from tricholoracetic acid (TCA), while the deeper peels made from carbolic acids like phenol. The treatment will result in the skin disintegrating and peeling and a smoother skin layer will surface. This procedure takes around 15 minutes to be performed and may need to be performed regularly to maintain results.
Advantages:
The treatment is relatively cheap.
The treatment is effective on mild acne scars.
Drawbacks:
The treatment is ineffective on deep acne scars.
The treatment may cause skin redness and swelling which can take anything from a day to a few weeks to heal depending on the potency of the acid used.
The treatment may need to be repeated.
All chemical peels carry some degree of uncertainty and risk. Chemical peel is considered to be a safe procedure only when it is performed by a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon.
