      CHEMICAL PEELS

      Chemical Peels Willowbrook IL

      Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin to make skin smoother, reduce scarring and remove blemishes. Ranging from mild to strong, there are three types of chemical peels: alphahydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. The strength of each peel is tailored to the patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures, such as facelifts, for additional improvement to the skin. Chemical peels may be covered by insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.

      Chemical peels are performed in a plastic surgeon’s or dermatologist’s office, or an outpatient surgical center. Anesthesia is not required because TCA and phenol have anesthetic properties and AHA produces only a slight stinging.

      • Acne
      • Discoloration
      • Sensitive skin/rosacea

      WHY DO I NEED A CHEMICAL PEEL?

      Our skin naturally exfoliates, gently shedding dead skin cells so subtly that most of us don’t even notice. However, as we age, this process tends to slow, resulting in a dull complexion.


      HOW DO CHEMICAL PEELS WORK?

      Chemical peels speed up the exfoliation process, encouraging cell turnover that leaves the skin looking fresh and healthy. The result is exfoliation after a treatment, often seen in the form of peeling or flaking that lasts a couple of days. Ingredients in the peel solution are also working to create new cells that function properly, not only visibly improving the skin but correcting from within.


      SIDE EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL PEELS

      A phenol or TCA peel can result in tingling or throbbing, reddened skin, a crust or scab, and significant swelling that lasts depending on the strength of the peel used, about a week. With a phenol peel, eyes may be swollen shut at first, and the patient may be put on a liquid diet and advised to keep talking to a minimum. Any tape used is removed after a day or two. AHA peels can cause temporary stinging, redness, and irritation, as well as flaking or crusting. After a chemical peel, the skin must be protected from the sun.
