Risks of Chemical Peels:

The biggest risks associated with a chemical peel have to do with the skins natural pigmentation. Persons who undergo a chemical peel procedure are in fact removing the outermost layers of skin which have already been exposed to the UV rays and have taken on their own natural pigmentation color. After undergoing a chemical peel, these outer layers are then removed which exposes the under layers which are younger and in most cases have no real pigmentation yet.

In persons who have a darker skin pigmentation, this can lead to discolorations between the treated and non-treated regions with regards to the chemical peel. While I some cases it only takes time for the skin to self-level the pigmentation between the treated and non-treated regions, other cases result in the colors never being the same and a very noticeable differentiation between the treated and non-treated regions involved in the chemical peel process.

Benefits of Chemical Peels:

In general, you will most likely be going in for an AHA chemical peel which means that the amount of pain will be minimized which in turn means that there will most likely be no anesthetic used during the procedure.

When the procedure starts, your face will be cleaned completely and the chemicals will be applied to the region where they will be allowed to penetrate into the skin and dissolve the layers. The technician will then remove the chemicals which take the old dead skin that has been dissolved with it.

The results are that the younger and smoother underlying skin which has not had a chance to mirror the outer layers scars is exposed. This means that most types of superficial scarring goes away with the outer layers as in most cases things like acne scarring are mirrored, or cast on to the underlying skin as it grows. By removing the damaged and scarred outer layers the casting never happens leaving you with a younger and smoother looking skin.
