How Chemical Peel Works?

Chemical peel works on three basic principals’ i.e. Exfoliation, Removal of skin imperfections, Regeneration In this process, chemical peels are applied directly to the skin which destroys the outer layer of the skin through chemical activities. However, a controlled destruction of epidermis is there so as to avoid excessive damage to skin. Destruction of epidermis leads to the exfoliation and removal of superficial lesions on the skin followed by the regeneration of new epidermal & dermal tissues.

Chemical peel is largely a cosmetic procedure and it is indicated depending upon the patient’s requirement to correct skin textural problems. Here are the skin condition that chemical peels treat:-

• Skin lesions: Acne Vulgaris, Rosacea in remission
• Acne Complications: Hyper-pigmentation, Athropic scars & Enlarged skin pores
• Skin Hyper-pigmentation: On Hormonal basis, connected to age or caused by sun radiation
• Wrinkles: Solar origin as well as mimic & those connected to age
• Others: Melasma, Freckles, Lentigines, Facial Melanoses, Periorbital hyper-pigmentation

Procedure of Chemical Peel :-

A chemical peel can be used to treat various skin problems. Depending on the issues you’re addressing with the procedure, you’ll choose a chemical peel in one of three depths:

• Light chemical peel. A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). It can be used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness. You might have a light chemical peel as often as every two to five weeks — depending on your desired results.
• Medium chemical peel. This type of chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from portions of the upper part of your middle layer of skin (dermis). A medium chemical peel can treat wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin tone. You might repeat a medium chemical peel after three to nine months to maintain results.
• Deep chemical peel. A deep chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from portions of the mid to lower layer of your dermis. Your doctor might recommend a deep chemical peel if you have deeper wrinkles, scars or precancerous growths. A deep chemical peel can only be performed once

If you decide to proceed with the chemical peel, you might also need to follow these safety measures :-

• Take antiviral medication. If you have a history of herpes infections around your mouth, your doctor will likely prescribe an antiviral medication before and after treatment to help prevent a viral infection.
• Use a retinoid cream. If you’re having a light or medium chemical peel, your doctor might recommend using a retinoid cream, such as tretinoin (Renova, Retin-A, others), beforehand to shorten your treatment time and speed the healing process.
• Use a bleaching agent. Our doctor might recommend using a bleaching agent (hydroquinone) and a retinoid cream before or after the procedure to prevent skin darkening.
• Avoid unprotected sun exposure. It’s important to consistently use sunscreen at least four weeks before the procedure to help prevent irregular pigmentation in treated areas. Discuss sun protection and acceptable sun exposure with your doctor.
• Avoid certain cosmetic treatments and certain types of hair removal. About a week before the peel, stop waxing or using depilatory hair-removal products. Also, avoid bleaching, massages or facial scrubs in the week before your peel.
• Arrange for a ride home. If you’ll be sedated during a medium or deep chemical peel, you’ll need help getting home after the procedure.

Blackheads are a mild type of acne that usually forms on the face, but they can also appear on the following body parts:

*Back​​    

*Chest               

*Neck                   

*Arms​​

*Shoulders

Some factors can increase your chances of developing acne and blackheads. That are following:-

Why pimples occur ?

There are a number of reasons behind what causes blackheads, but a poor or uneven hygiene regimen has little to do with it. Blackhead developed in the opening of hair follicles in your skin and the hormonal changes is animportant factor. We believe the black dots that form and give this type of acne its name are formed from dirt. Actually the marks are the result of oxidized sebum, which turns black when the pore opens at the end and exposes the material inside the clogged pore to the air.

Here are some reasons of having blackheads:-

What are the Symptoms of Acne?

Blackheads can develop on any part of the body. It is not uncommon to find an infected blackhead on nose, lip, forehead, or cheek areas. These dark colors, blackheads are easy to spot on the skin.

If an infected blackhead is found on your body, you may experience the following symptoms:–

Treatment of Infected White heads :-

Infected blackhead removal can be simple with the following treatment methods:-

Regular exfoliation and cleansing is an obvious approach for an acne-free body and face. Cleanse with soaps that include plant-based ingredients like olive oil. Before cleansing your face one must consult a dermatologist, to know about which skin product is useful for it.

Eat a high protein diet rich in probiotics, fiber, omega-3, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C. A poor diet and blackheads are directly linked, because a healthy diet is essential for reducing inflammation and promoting overall good health.

Use non-comedogenic products that do not clog pores instead should keep the pores clear and open and reduce the buildup of dead skin. If still there is confusion while selecting cosmetic, you must consult a dermatologist.

Depending on the underlying cause of your blackheads, our dermatologist Dr. Sahil Mrigpuri will recommend laser or light therapy for blackhead removal and white head treatment. Both the laser and light beams penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and regulate the natural oil production. Even bacteria are killed by these beams preventing infections from developing in the pores. When compared to the other treatment methods, this method works in the lower layers of the skin without damaging the top layers.

This cosmetic treatment utilizes a piece of equipment with a rough surface with which the top layers of the skin are ‘sanded’ or scraped. As these layers get rubbed away, the blackheads are unplugged and removed.

Chemical peels are formulated with naturally occurring acids. An acid solution of an appropriate strength (or concentration) is applied on the skin, and this exfoliates the skin thoroughly. Exfoliation cleanses the pores and gets rid of blackheads. Many times, the chemical peel is followed up with manual extraction of remaining comedones.

Our Dermatologists will prescribe medications for acne and remove blackheads and white heads with with LASER. These are usually topical medications that most commonly belong to the retinoid family. At times, internal medication like antibiotics is also prescribed. Face washes and cleansers are also given.

Post acne marks and post acne pigmentation and scars are also treated after completing the treatment regimen.

Dermatological Tips to Prevent Blackheads:-

Lasers  Based Treatments

Lasers and energy-based treatments provide physicians the most diverse treatment options, ranging from light laser peels which are similar to microdermabrasion, through more aggressive fractional treatments which can require more than a week of downtime. Most physicians understand that the correlation between length of recovery is directly related to potential outcomes, the longer the downtime, the more extreme the results. However, Infini’s innovative technology is changing downtime/outcome dependency because of the unique way its energy is delivered deep into the dermis.

How Do Lasers And Energy Based Devices Work?

They work by stimulating the body’s natural healing response to create controlled damage and then generate a healing response to rebuilding collagen and internal structure. Only INFINI delivers treatment inside the dermis sparing the injury at the surface making recovery comfortable and much faster.

Melasma Treatment with Lasers :-

Melasma is a common skin problem that is also known as ‘chloasma’. It causes brown patches on the face; most commonly appearing on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin, and above the upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of suns.  Hormone changes along with sun exposure are the most common triggers for melasma. Although melasma may affect both men and women, the majority of those affected are women.  Individuals of Latin or Asian ethnicity are also more likely to get melasma.

These are the skin conditions that can be treated at with lasers:-

• Acne
• Age Spots and Sun Damage
• Birthmarks
• Facial Lines Wrinkles
• Freckles
• Large Pores
• Melasma
• Scars
• Skin Diseases

Non-Ablative Fractional Treatments

How is Non-Ablative Fractional Skin Resurfacing Work?

The non-ablative fractional laser is a multi-purpose skin rejuvenation laser that offers the power and precision to alter the skin—from non-surgical skin resurfacing to effective tattoo removal. The goal is to produce sufficient energy (heat) to penetrate the skin and absorb the target.

What Can It Do To Improve My Skin?

Treatments include common problems such as fine blood vessels that cause skin redness, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, excess pigment (such as brown spots), enlarged pores and skin texture. It can also remove most tattoo colors, usually over a series of treatments. (Visit our Tattoo Removal page for more information).

What Is A Laser Peel?

Your doctor may recommend a Laser Peel to improve the overall quality of your complexion. First, a topical lotion is applied to the face, followed by the laser, to stimulate skin cells and begin the process of exfoliation. To optimize the results, a series of treatments (average is 3) are recommended to reduce oil production, enlarged pores, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and generate new collagen.

How Many Treatments Will I Need To See An Improvement?

The number of treatments will depend on the specific problem you’re addressing. For example, if you have broken facial blood vessels around your nose, one or two treatments would be likely. If you have advanced sun damage with multiple issues such as pigment, it could be more. Your doctor will assess and advise on the optimal treatment program for you.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Obviously, your skin will continue to age. However, to minimize on-going damage, consult with your doctor about preventative measures, such as a good sunscreen, makeup, etc. You may need to adopt the habit of wearing a hat or engaging in sports earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon, away from the sun’s peak hours. These are practical lifestyle changes that will help you retain your new, healthier skin.
