MEDICAL PEELINGS

Our skin is subject to permanent alteration and renewal. New cells are constantly being built in the middle skin layers, old cells are moved towards the surface, callus is built and then desquamated. Medical, so-called ‘chemical’ peels can help to bring new, fresh cells to the surface and to stimulate the building of new, young cells by peeling off dead skin.

Improve the texture of the facial skin

A chemical peel is a body-treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the skin to blister and eventually peel off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Thus the term chemical peel is derived. Some types of chemical peels can be purchased and administered without a medical license, however people are advised to seek professional help from a specialized doctor on a specific type of chemical peel before a procedure is performed.

Dr. Tschauder usually concentrates on phytic-acid peels (AHA, BHA) like alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid peels in concentrations due to individual conditions.

Mild peel formula

Alpha hydroxy peels (AHAs) are naturally occurring organic carboxylic acids such as glycolic acid a natural constituent of sugar cane juice and lactic acid found in sour milk and tomato juice. This is the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels for treatment of fine wrinkles, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Alpha hydroxy acids can also be mixed with a facial wash or cream in lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care regimen to improve the skin's texture.
AHA peels are used to:
  • reduce fine wrinkling
  • treat areas of dryness
  • reduce uneven pigmentation
  • aid in the control of acne
  • smooth rough dry skin
  • improve the texture of sun-damaged skin

Fresher, smoother and younger

It is becoming common for the use of Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) peels to be used instead of the stronger Alpha Hyroxy(AHA) peels due to BHA's albility to get deeper into the pore than AHA. Studies show that BHA peels control oil, acne as well as remove dead skin cells to a certain extent better than AHA's, due to AHA's only working on the surface of the skin.

The skin immediately looks fresher, smoother and younger. A medical peeling lasts between 15 – 30 minutes and should be repeated in certain intervals depending on the content and concentration.
