Chemical Peel Treatment For Acne Scars

Posted by administrator Wednesday, July 23, 2008


Chemical peel treatment can be used to get rid of years and years of accumulated acne scars and debris on the face. It works by the removing of the top layers of the skin which are scarred. The new skin layers which replace the old ones are free of scars. It can cause burning and itching during the time of application, but it will soon ease out.

Chemical peel could be home administered or hospital administered. Depending on the type of peel and the nature of your facial scar, you can choose to go for a home peel or a hospital administered peel. However, when you have severe acne on the face, it is recommended to wait for the acne to heal before going in for peel treatment to remove scars.

Which Peel should you choose?
Chemical peels come in various strengths and concentrations. A doctor may be able to help you decide the concentration that your skin needs. However, the general mantra is to go in for the lowest strength to check your skin's response and slowly keep increasing the concentration. It should also be noted that a gap of at least 3 weeks is recommended before between your first peel and your next peel.

Various peels like TCA (Trichloro acetic acid), AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid), Glycolic peels etc are available today. The lower strength peels also known as lunch time peels can be used like a lunch time peel as the recovery time is very little. However, strong peels that treat deep scars require a long period of recovery time as the face can look un presentable for a few days. Further, in some extreme cases, it might warrant hospitalization as the skin becomes prone to infection.

Chemical Peel Aftercare:
It is important to wear a strong sunscreen lotion after undergoing the peel. It is best if sun exposure could be avoided altogether if it is a strong peel you had undergone. The skin tends to run dry and hence, it is important to use a moisturizer during the aftercare period.

Home administered chemical peels are gaining popularity with the cost of hospital administered peel being expensive. Home administered peels are a good alternative provided, it is done with taking proper care and precautions.

  4. Chemical peels are usually done to the face to get rid of acne scars, fine lines, melasma, and a variety of other skin condition. Peels can remove several layers of damaged skin cell leaving “newer” skin behind. You can enjoy a more even-surface and better skin tone. It will also stimulate new collagen to be formed so the texture of your skin improves.
