COSMETIC MEDICINE SKIN REVISION TECHNIQUES PEELS Peels are solutions applied to the surface of the skin to strip away the outermost layers, revealing the fresh new skin beneath. Used to treat a variety of skin conditions, peels can improve problems from dryness or skin dullness to acne, rosacea and pigmentation. Ingredients range from naturally occurring chemicals and herbal extracts to synthetic chemicals, and their effects range from mildly brightening to aggressive resurfacing. Depending on the strength, peels can be administered <strong>by</strong> dermatologists, cosmetic practitioners and skincare professionals, and are recommended as a course of treatments. Natural peels Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels are the mildest option, available in salon treatments and can be used on most skin types. They use lactic, fruit or glycolic acids to treat dryness and improve skin texture. Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peels use salicylic acid to speed the skin cell shedding process and improve blemished skin. Chemical peels Chemical peels are higher strength solutions that use different grades of acid to strip the skin of dead skin cells and promote the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These chemicals – ranging from alpha hydroxy and salicylic acids to trichloroacetic acid and phenol – also vary in their depth of penetration, causing them to directly target specifi c concerns. Typically, the stronger the strength of the peel the deeper the penetration and the more severe the posttreatment side effects. The treatments typically cause stinging during application and various degrees of fl aking after treatment, from fi ne fl aking to sheeting, as the new layers of skin start to form. Chemical peels can be quite aggressive, so skin analysis during consultation is required to fi nd out which peel is most suitable, and whether any allergic reactions will occur. <strong>Dr</strong>yness, redness and peeling can be expected for up to a week after most peels, which feels similar to sunburn. It is imperative the peeling skin is not picked at or rubbed as it may cause scarring. Makeup may be worn to cover this, depending on the consultant’s instructions. Using an unscented moisturiser can help relieve the tight sensation of treated skin, and a mild topical steroid cream or ointment can be used to soothe temporary swelling or redness. Sunscreen should be worn at all times while outside. The appearance of acne scarring can be improved with the use of fi llers; chemical peels, which remove the top layer of skin; microhydrabrasion, which ‘polishes’ the skin; and laser, light-based and radiofrequency treatments, all of which heat the dermis and promote the formation of new skin.
