The chemicals are derived from fruits and milk. They induce the removal of the outer dead layer of the cell. It also aids in collagen production which further promotes improving the laxity of the skin and making it look even more youthful and taut. The skin, as a result of these chemicals, looks younger, glowing and firmer.

A chemical peel is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the appearance of your skin. The result of the chemical peel treatment depends upon which type of chemical and technique used.

Though there are several agents available, mainly one of the following will be used at NVYA Aesthetics, Vadodara.

• Alpha Hydroxy acids: Alpha Hydroxy acids, also known as AHA’s are actually fruit acids. Amongst AHA’s Glycolic acid is the most commonly used.

1. Fine wrinkles.
2. Uneven pigmentation
3. Rough dark skin due to excessive sun exposure
4. Acne
5. Freckles and other age spots

• Beta Hydroxy acids: In Beta Hydroxy acids or BHA’s, salicylic acid is the most commonly used agent. The use remains more or less the same as alpha hydroxy acids but gives excellent results for acne and acne scars.

• Phenol Phenol peels are actually quite strong and work excellently at the deeper levels of the skin. Although chemical peels do not require anesthesia, due to its strong properties and deep penetration, phenol does require anesthesia. Due to its nature, it is generally inadvisable for individuals with dark or deep skin tone people as it might result in bad scarring and pigmentation changes.

Peels are then classified according to the issues targeted. They are as follows:

1. Management Peel: It targets current breakouts and past marks as well as prevents future breakouts. It uses cleansing by antimicrobials followed by skin treatment with anti-acne medicines, BHA. It is followed by therapy to improve hydration of the skin. A soothing mask is applied at the end.

4. Maintenance Program: As the name suggests, it is for regular skin management. The skin is cleansed and treated with polishing. The treatment is followed by Vitamin C therapy which improves glow and clears complexion irregularities.

5. Advanced Skin Peeling: The advanced skin peeling takes care of wrinkles, dullness, complexion irregularities and skin laxity.. Skin will be glowing, uniformly fair, tight and free from fine wrinkles.

Once the peel is applied, you will notice a slight burning sensation on the skin. This may increase with the duration of the peel. Towards the end, the burning sensation will start decreasing. Once the peel is neutralized, you will be advised to apply ice packs

Depending on the problem, you will be advised on the number of sessions necessary for the results. These may be spaced at the interval of 1 to 4 weeks. The interval is decided by the skin type, the indication of the peel and the strength of the peeling agent.
