Chemical Face Peeling

Abstract

Chemexfoliation is an excellent method to reduce facial rhytids. For 25 years, we have used the traditional formula as described by T. J. Baker but with a moist healing technique rather than a tape mask. We have found the peel to be inexpensive and easy to perform, with results that are excellent and consistent, with minimal side effects.

Complications of aesthetic medicine procedures: five case studies

“…Z uwagi na to, że z reguły powikłania po zabiegach medycyny estetycznej są niewielkie (ból, zaczerwienienia, oparzenia I stopnia, odmrożenie I stopnia, obrzęk) i ustępują bez pozostawienia śladu, za mało uwagi poświęca się objawom niepożądanym i mło-dzi adepci dermatologii estetycznej mają błędne przeświadczenie, że ten problem jest bardzo odległy i nie biorą go pod uwagę w swojej codziennej pracy [12,17,18]. Tymczasem po zabiegach medycyny estetycznej może dojść do powstania przebarwień lub bardziej problematycznych, gdyż trudniejszych do usunięcia, odbarwień skóry, a także innych znacznie poważniejszych powikłań, które w niektórych przypadkach mogą nawet spełniać kryteria cięż-kiego uszczerbku na zdrowiu w postaci trwałego, istotnego zeszpecenia (art.…”

“…As a result, young specialists in aesthetic dermatology act under the mistaken belief that the problem is far from being critical and hence does not merit attention in their day-to-day practice [12,17,18]. Contrary to that belief, aesthetic medicine procedures can trigger skin discolouration or even skin depigmentation -more problematic due to being more difficult to treat.…”

26 Enhanced Medium-Depth Chemical Peels

“…By the early 20th century, "lay peelers" were using agents that resulted in deeper skin penetration. 4 Over the following decades, dermatologists and plastic surgeons tried various formulas and protocols; however, there remained little standardization. Although many early 20th-century doctors used peeling to improve superficial scarring and acne, the side effect of wrinkle improvement did not escape notice.…”

“…Although many early 20th-century doctors used peeling to improve superficial scarring and acne, the side effect of wrinkle improvement did not escape notice. 4 By the mid-1950s, Gillies and Millard began using phenol to treat wrinkled eyelid skin. 5 Then in the early 1960s, Litton began using a phenol-croton oil mixture to treat wrinkled skin not improvable with aging face surgery.…”

“…4 Although medium-depth peeling cannot accomplish results comparable to deep-peeling, phenol-based formulas or deep CO 2 laser resurfacing, it has significant potential to ameliorate fine wrinkles and improve skin texture and pigmentation irregularities caused by moderate photodamage and aging.…”
