HOUSTON, TX, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) As you age, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices will all begin to show visible signs on your skin. This is a natural part of the aging process, but can leave some men and women feeling uncomfortable, and older than they really are. Some people choose invasive surgical procedures such as a facelift to address these issues, but surgical procedures are not right for everyone.
For people who would like to restore a youthful, glowing complexion without surgical intervention, a chemical peel is often a wonderful choice. Working closely with an experienced plastic surgeon in your area, you can determine if this nonsurgical facial procedure will help you meet your goals, and provide you with the look you desire.
Types of Chemical Peels
The most popular types of chemical peels are:
- Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peels - AHA peels offer a mild solution and are effective at reducing fine lines, and producing an even complexion. Due to the mildness of this peel, recovery time is minimal, but several applications may be required to achieve your desired results
- Beta Hydroxy Acid Peels - Often performed with salicylic acid these peels are slightly more abrasive than AHAs, but still considered a mild chemical peel. BHAs are frequently used to treat acne prone skin, and require little to no recovery time after the procedure. Like AHAs, you may require more than one application to reach your goals
- Trichloroacetic Acid Peels - TCA peels are a medium strength peel that can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. TCA peels take about one week to recovery from, and may cause mild discomfort requiring pain medications. Unlike mild peels, results are long lasting, and most often require only one application
- Phenol Peels - providing the most dramatic results, phenol peels are considered a deep chemical peel solution. These peels are effective at completely eliminating facial imperfections including pre-cancerous growths. The procedure may take up to two hours, and recovery can take up to one month, but the end results are far more noticeable and long lasting than other chemical peel options
No one solution is ideal for every face. Working closely with a board-certified plastic surgeon, you can determine the best type of chemical peel for you.

2012-02-29
