Chemical peels
By Margaret
Wommack
Chemical peels can be arranged into three categories: light,
medium and deep.
Light chemical peels
are used to help dry skin, acne, liver spots, sun spots, diminish
fine facial wrinkles and pore size and improve overall skin texture. Light peels
are done in a series of six to eight sessions with two or three week periods in
between. After a light peel the skin is only slightly red for about a day.
Medium chemical peels
Medium chemical peels are used to remove larger wrinkles and precancerous skin
lesions. These peels are done only once every few years and the skin will be burned
for about a week during which time the patient should stay indoors and out of
the sun.
Deep chemical peels
Deep chemical peels eliminate larger wrinkles and can have facelift-like
effects. However skin will remain sensitive for a month or two after treatment.
