Chemical Peeling of Skin

Chemical Peeling of Skin

  The chemicals used in this chemical peeling process are very much powerful, so one should not experiment with this on their own. It is always better to go under this treatment with experienced professionals. The upper layer of our skin is the old skin which is full of dead cells and in general your body has a mechanism to shed the dead skin naturally in specific intervals. The main concept involved in chemical peeling is removal of this dead skin using some chemicals, so that the new skin layers will be visible. This makes our skin look healthy and glowing. In general, most of us will suffer from skin issues like acne and pimples, for which we use simple homemade remedies for pimples and acne. These remedies might reduce the pimples to some extent but sometimes does not help in removing the scars. The chemical peeling of skin will leave back all the scars which are formed due to acne, pimples and etc.

Why this peeling 

  Our skin may change when it is exposed to much pollution. Most of us will have this problem due to various skin problems like acne, pimples or even by the ageing effect. Hence, the skin might lose the glow which had earlier. These changes can be easily observed on the upper layers of skin. By this chemical peeling treatment, the upper layer (epidermis) and even the lower layer (dermis) get repaired. This helps us to obtain a glow in our skin. This peeling is not some new process, it is followed from centuries. Previously, Clyopatra, who is known as the queen of beauty is said to use sore milk to peel her skin.

How this Chemical Peeling of Skin Works

  We always wonder how to maintain a clear skin without knowing about it. Usually, our skin has two layers upper layer (epidermis) and lower layer (dermis). In epidermis there are four sub layers, in which the upper layer is called stratum corneum, which is a dead layer and it is visible to us. This layer of skin generally is peeled off naturally in specific intervals, and a new skin layer is generated by stratum basale at the lower layer of epidermis . In chemical peels, the upper layer is removed and the pimples, acne, dark spots on your skin will be reduced. This is because the chemical peeling treatment destroys proteins in the skin, so skin would regenerate the damaged part naturally. Due to this our skin looks refreshing with a new glow.

  All the dark spots and patches caused due to some skin problem are formed on the upper layer of the skin. As this layer is removed in process of chemical peeling, our skin seems to be renewed. The new layer is developed within 48 hours after chemical peeling . The lower layers of our skin contains collages fibres which are elastic in nature and helps in maintaining our skin stiff and strong. These will be in good condition until certain age, but in middle age  those fibres lose their shape, resulting in wrinkles. Due to chemical peeling these fibres are set into shape, which in turn will reduce wrinkles.

What are used in Peeling? 

  In this chemical peeling of skin, several types of natural fruit pulp and milk products are used as peels. These peels are also referred as fruit acids or alpha hydroxy acids. Different names are given to different fruit extracts. For example, sugar cane extract is called as glycolic acid, while apple extract is called mandalic acid. Even though these pulps are extracted from fruits, they are processed, purified and used in limited quantity as medicine. Therefore, the peeling process differ from normal usage of fruit pulp in facials.
