Chemical Peel - Treatment of facial wrinkling-Chemical Peel > Before Surgery > During Surgery > After Surgery > PhotosThe earliest recorded attempts to improve the skin date back to antiquity. Recipes for smoothing the skin and removing blemishes through the use of alabaster and pumice were recorded in the writings of the ancient Egyptians who used them for centuries and were the prelude to today's chemical peel.
Today, as a result of modern technology, safe and effective procedures such as the chemical peel have been developed to improve facial wrinkles and mild scarring.
One technique used to treat facial irregularities is chemical peel.
A Chemical peel is a procedure in which chemical agents are applied to skin that is wrinkled, scarred or otherwise damaged.
After a chemical peel treatment, scabs form which, upon falling off, leave smoother, younger looking skin. This chemical peel procedure, although initially prescribed mainly for cosmetic purposes, is used therapeutically as well.
Cosmetic indications for the use of chemical peel include wrinkles caused by aging, sun damage or heredity factors; superficial acne scarring; and irregular pigmentation of the skin, including freckles and age spots, melasma, a dark pigmentation of the face found primarily in women who are pregnant or are taking birth control pills, can also be improved.
Precancerious conditions such as keatoses (thick, rough, reddish growths) also respond well to chemical peel treatments. Chemical peel is sometimes done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgical procedures such as rhytidectomy (facelift).
