subject: Chemical Peels For Acne Scars - How Effective Are They? [print this page] Since many people are suffering from pimple scars, more and more patients look for cheaper and less risky treatment methods. After all, pimple scars are not just ugly to look at; these marks can also cause severe inferiority and depression. Chemical peels for acne scars are growing in popularity, since they are considered low-risk and efficient.
Chemical peeling is generally classified into two broad categories: mild chemical peel and strong chemical peel. The type of treatment depends on the appearance and shape of the acne scar, sensitivity of the skin and oiliness. Darker complexions may have more issues on skin-tone balance after peeling. One must first consult a cosmetic surgeon in choosing the appropriate peeling chemical and length of treatment.
Mild peeling may use Alphahydroxy, Betahydroxy, Salicylic and Glycolic acids. Since these chemical peels for acne scars are not too reactive, regeneration time is faster. Probability is low for developing wounds and hypersensitivity of the skin. However, the treatment must be repeated every 1 and month.
Strong chemical peeling uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. These acids work best against very deep or highly elevated scarseven on some tattoos and birth marks. They can penetrate the face deeper; however, recovery time is significantly longer. It may take months before full regeneration due to peeling wounds. There are also risks of developing hypersensitivity to sunlight.
Chemical peels for acne scars are not recommended for pregnant women and those with severe acne conditions. Peels work best for superficial scars, which has already healed from the acne itself.
