Deep chemical peels
The strongest forum
|
In a four part
analysis, we have been discussing
chemical peels. We have also discussed
light chemical peels and
medium strength chemical peels. In this
concluding section, we talk about high strength or deep
chemical peels. Traditionally
these peelings have used a substance called phenol. These
are the deepest type of peels and require some anesthesia.
They may
bleach the skin permanently, but they give very good
and longer-lasting results. The “bleaching” of the skin is
irreversible and looks unnatural. Some people have to use
makeup to cover it after the treatment. They are not
as common now because phenol is a toxic substance that may
affect the heart, kidneys and other vital organs and
doctors have better tools to obtain the same results, for
example
lasers. |

The recovery
time for these peelings can be several weeks. The cost can
be from $2,000 to $5,000 dollars.
RisksThere
are few risks if an
experienced professional does the peeling. These are
some of the potential risks:
skin
discoloration and uneven tone, infections, scars, loss
of sensitivity and burning sensation on the skin.
