Abstract :

Some say the skin rejuvenation via chemical peeling is more than 3000 years. A procedure which not only helps to remove dead skin cells, but also does stimulate regeneration and improvement of skin layers (neocollagenosis) by proliferation phase of healing. Chemical peel treatments are not time consuming, but very effective procedures used for therapeutic and cosmetic indications. The most commonly used agents are glycolic acid, trichloracetic acid, and salicylic acid. All types of chemical peeling (superficial, medium and deep) can be used for acne, aged skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, chloasma, lentigines etc. The most common areas for peeling are face followed by hands and lips. Factors such as Fitzpatrick skin type, sun exposure and patientâ??s expectation must be considered to avoid side effects. Procedure and materials are inexpensive, well studied and can be combined with many other treatment to achieve the maximal results.
