Chemical peel treatment by top Guam Physician – Guam Clinic
A chemical peel is the best technique to remove scars from your skin, this treatment of today is considered as the best painless method with good effective results. At ExpressCare Guam Clinic, the treatment process involves the application of a chemical solution on the affected area of the skin.
After leaving the solution in the skin for a while, the outer layers of the skin blisters up and can either flake off or can be helped by washing off with a soap solution. The old outer layers of the skin are removed in the process exposing the inner skin layers.
If the scars are not deep, the new skin that grows back clear. But if the scars happen to be deep spanning several layers of skin, repeated periodic administering of the peel would be recommended to get rid of the scar permanently.
Depending on the type of peel, it should be the attention of a top certified Guam Dermatologist - Dr. Jitka Lom.
Guam Clinic - Types of Chemical Peels:
1. Glycolic Acid Peels:
This is a mild peel that removes just the outer skin layer. It may not be too effective for deep-rooted scars. But consistent usage over some time can show a good reduction of the scars. Glycolic acid peels come in various concentrations or strengths varying from 10% to 70%. This type of peel is too mild to counter wrinkles.
2. TCA Peels:
TCA (TriChloroAcetic Acid peels) is a medium-level peel. It can reduce pigmentation and mild wrinkles. It consists of strong acid that burns the outer surface of the skin it comes in contact with. Hence, it has to be used by a certified dermatologist.
3. Phenolic Peels:
Phenolic peels are the strongest of the peels. It is toxic and hence not the one recommended for the treatment of acne scars as of today. However, it can be used effectively for treating wrinkles and heavy skin pigmentation. Anaesthesia might be used during the treatment. Skin irritation and pain are normally observed during the administration of Phenolic peels.
4. Self Administered Natural Peels:
Some peels can be self-administered at home and do not have the side effects of the chemical peels. They are usually mild and easy on the skin. A lot of home peel treatments are available. A highly recommended one is the one provided by Skin Culture.
After the peel, the new layer of skin that appears is very sensitive to UV light. Hence, sun exposure should be avoided for a few days if possible.
