UNDERSTANDING CHEMICAL PEEL TREATMENTS

A chemical peel is a specialized dermatological procedure that uses a
precisely formulated chemical solution to improve and smooth facial
skin texture by removing damaged outer layers. This treatment
effectively addresses facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin
pigmentation.

CHEMICAL PEEL FORMULATION TECHNIQUES

Plastic Surgery - Michael G. Cedars, MD, FACS, Inc. utilizes multiple
chemical solutions tailored to individual patient needs:

 	* Phenol with croton oil
	* Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
	* Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs)

TYPES OF CHEMICAL PEELS

ALPHAHYDROXY ACIDS (AHAS)

AHAs, including glycolic, lactic, and fruit acids, provide mild peels
ideal for patients seeking minimal recovery time. These light peels
deliver smoother, brighter-looking skin with minimal downtime.

TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA) PEELS

TCA peels are medium-depth treatments most commonly used for
addressing fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, and pigment
problems. Results are typically less dramatic and shorter-lasting
compared to deeper phenol peels.

PHENOL AND CROTON OIL DEEP PEELS

The strongest chemical solution, phenol with croton oil produces a
deep peel primarily used for treating coarse facial wrinkles and
sun-damaged skin. This technique may cause slight pigment loss, which
is minimized by treating entire facial regions.

TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Chemical peels are typically performed for cosmetic enhancement and
self-confidence improvement. Additional benefits include removing
pre-cancerous skin growths and smoothing acne facial scars.

PROCEDURAL RISKS AND SAFETY

While chemical peels are generally safe when performed by a qualified
plastic surgeon, patients should understand potential uncertainties.
There is a minimal risk of infection and rare instances of scarring.
