Types of chemical peel
Based on your skin condition and aesthetic goals, the best skin specialist in Delhi would determine the type of chemical peel you should get. Each type differs on the basis of the depth to which it affects your skin.
Superficial Peel
The superficial peel penetrates to the minimum depth. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) such as fruit acid and glycolic lactic are used to perform this peel. It is The AHA is the mildest solution and does not typically require any anesthesia. You only feel slight stinging during the process. The superficial peel can address the dark spots and wrinkles you get due to aging and sun damage. Although you can observe a fresher and renewed look with a single peel, the best skin doctor in south Delhi may recommend more sessions based on your expectations and skin condition. As the treatment is mild you can get back to work right after it and wear makeup as well.
Medium Peel
This peel is also used to address blemishes like pigmentation and wrinkles on your skin but to a deeper extent. The chemical that is used is trichloracetic acid (TCA) and is often used for face, neck, and other body parts where your skin is damaged. TCA provides a moderate bleaching effect that can be safely used for smaller areas like around the eyes and mouth. Multiple sessions can be used if your doctor feels the need. The same chemical with higher concentration can be used for deep peel as well. Generally, a numbing agent is used to reduce discomfort during the procedure and protective ointment is used after the peel to soothe the treatment site.
Deep Peel
The deep peel is also called the phenol peel. It is the strongest peel that is performed only when your skin is severely damaged and shows deep wrinkles, brown spots, and other signs. These are typically used to lighten the verticles line around your mouth. The procedure is more time-consuming and performed with utmost accuracy by the best dermatologist in Delhi. The strength of the chemical solution can be enhanced using the croton oil. As the chemical is strong your doctor would apply a protective ointment after the treatment. You need to avoid sun exposure for a few days. It may take several days to completely recover from the treatment.
