Chemical peels may also remove pre- cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial
scars, and even control acne.
Chemical
peels are most commonly performed using alpha hydroxyacids. These are naturally
occurring acids found in fruits and other foods. Alpha hydroxyacids have proven
to be effective in treating dry skin, acne, liver or sun spots, diminishing fine
facial wrinkles, decreasing pore size, and improving skin texture. Light peels
are usually performed in a series of six to eight peels, each peel four to six
weeks apart. This type of peel leaves the skin with a red glow that only lasts
for a day or so
Acne
Acne is usually
caused by oily skin. Unfortunately over the counter and even prescription medications
are often not completely successful in the treatment of acne. Using some degree
of exfoliation is sometimes a crucial part of the treatment. Excellent exfoliation
can be achieved using a variety of chemical peels (Skin Medica - vitalize peels,
Salicylic acid peels, Jessner Peels, or Neostrata peels). In between peels, good
daily exfoliation can be achieved with selected Skin Medica, Obagi, or Neostrata
products. Some products that seem to work particularly well are listed below.
