Chemical Peel In Mumbai

Three broad categories of chemical peel are available from NEHARKAR SKIN STUDIO, the premier chemical peels NSS provider. These are:

Superficial peels, which use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently remove the outermost layer of skin but penetrates no deeper than that.
Medium peels, which involve trichloroacetic or glycolic acid, passes through the outer layer and affects the middle skin layer. Medium peels are able to target some issues that result from damaged skin cells.
Deep peels, which penetrate enough to affect the entire middle layer of skin, rely on phenol or trichloroacetic acid to attempt to remove deep blemishes by clearing away damaged skin cells.

At NEHARKAR SKIN STUDIO, we use only the finest peels on the market. This includes the Glytone collection from.

Chemical peels are performed in a professional setting, like NEHARKAR SKIN STUDIO. Before the procedure, the patient ties back any hair and their face is cleaned. Eye protection, like goggles or gauze, is placed on the patient.

At NEHARKAR SKIN STUDIO, the premier chemical peel NSS provider, your skincare specialist might apply a topical numbing agent for some medium or deep peels to prevent pain or discomfort.

Light peel
The chemical solution is applied with a brush or cotton ball. The skin whitens during the application, and the skin might experience a slight stinging sensation. When the chemical has finished, it is made inert with a neutralizing agent or simply removed.

Medium peel
The skincare specialist administers the chemical solution using a special applicator or gauze. The skin gradually becomes whiter, and a cool compress is placed on treated skin to help alleviate discomfort. A stinging or burning sensation might be felt but doesn’t last for longer than 20 minutes.

Chemical peels are performed on the face, neck, or hands. They can be used to:

1. Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth.
2. Treat wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and hereditary factors.
3. Improve the appearance of mild scarring.
4. Treat certain types of acne.
5. Reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches due to pregnancy or taking contraceptive pills ( melasma).
6. Improve the look and feel of skin that is dull in texture and color.

Areas of sun damage, which may contain pre-cancerous keratoses that appear as scaly spots, may improve after chemical peeling. Following treatment, new pre-cancerous lesions are less likely to appear.

However, sags, bulges, and more severe wrinkles do not respond well to chemical peels. They may require other kinds of cosmetic surgical procedures, such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a facelift, brow lift, eyelid lift, or soft tissue filler ( collagen or fat). A consultant cosmetic surgeon can help determine the most appropriate type of treatment for each individual case.

Generally, fair-skinned and light-haired patients are ideal candidates for chemical peels. Darker skin types may also have good results, depending upon the type of problem being treated.

A chemical peel can be performed in a consultant Hair & Skin Care Expert / Specialist consulting room or in a cosmetic surgery center as an outpatient procedure.

The skin is thoroughly cleansed with an agent that removes excess oils and the eyes and hair are protected. One or more chemical solutions, such as glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol), are applied to small areas on the skin. These applications produce a controlled wound, enabling new, regenerated skin to appear.

Prior to the chemical peel, your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines and prepare your skin with topical preconditioning medications such as tretinoin or glycolic acid. After the chemical peel, it’s important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.

If you have been prescribed oral antibiotics or oral antiviral medicine by the dermatologist, you should begin taking those as directed. Typically, oral antibiotics are prescribed depending on the depth of the chemical peel.

Remember to ask your doctor if you need to get someone to drive you home.

In certain skin types, there is a risk of developing a temporary or permanent color change in the skin. Taking contraceptive pills, subsequent pregnancy or a family history of brownish discoloration on the face may increase the possibility of developing abnormal pigmentation.

Although low, there is a risk of scarring in certain areas of the face, and certain individuals may be more prone to scarring. If scarring does occur, it can usually be treated with good results.

There is a small risk of reactivation of cold sores in patients with a history of herpes outbreaks. This problem is treated with medication as prescribed by the Hair & Skin Care Expert / Specialist. Your Hair & Skin Care Specialist may also choose to give you anti-viral medication before or immediately after the peel in order to prevent a herpes outbreak.

Correcting other cosmetic problems with skincare products and non-surgical procedures

Cosmetic surgery is not the only option to deal with visual signs of aging. Non-surgical procedures or techniques may be more appropriate, maybe cheaper, and may carry less risk.

Wrinkles, unwanted facial hair, and more

There are a number of skincare products and non-surgical cosmetic procedures that can help with fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and unwanted facial or body hair.

1. Correcting the damage of aging.
2. Wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crows’ feet can be smoothed by botulinum toxin injections available as brand names Botox, Dysport, and Vistabel.
3. Skincare products.
4. The anesthetic practitioner may be able to recommend some skincare products that are effective for correcting aging skin, sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, and acne. Skincare products with ingredients such as vitamin C may be recommended.
5. Rejuvenate tired skin.
6. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion offer state-of-the-art renewal of skin that is tired, dull-looking, or damaged. Patients emerge with smoother, softer, and healthier-looking skin. Laser rejuvenation is another technique that can be used to refresh skin and correct some of the signs of aging.
7. Smooth fine lines.
8. Fine facial lines can be smoothed with collagen injections, a relatively safe procedure. Collagen replacement therapy supplements your skin’s own collagen and the results are immediate and can last a long time.
9. Remove unwanted hair
10. If you’re tired of shaving, plucking, or waxing, laser hair reduction is a permanent alternative to reducing unwanted hair. Laser treatments remove hair more quickly, less painfully, and more reliably than even electrolysis.

Patients with

1. Active bacterial, viral, fungal, or herpetic infection
2. Open wounds
3. Patient with unrealistic expectations
4. History of abnormal scarring, keloids; peeling should be avoided.

All peels require some follow-up care:

1. Superficial peels require one to seven days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and may scale. Lotion or cream should be applied until the skin heals, followed by daily use of sunscreen. Makeup can usually be worn the next day.

2. Medium peels require seven to 14 days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and swollen. Swelling worsens for the first 48 hours. Eyelids may swell shut. Blisters may form and break. Skin crusts and peels off in seven to 14 days. Skin must be soaked daily for a specified period, followed by an ointment application. Antiviral medication is taken for 10 to 14 days. Mild lotion or cream may be applied. Avoid all sun exposure until healing is complete. Camouflage makeup may be worn after five to seven days. A follow-up appointment will be necessary to monitor progress.

3. Deep peels require 14 to 21 days to heal. The treated area will be bandaged. Skin must be soaked four to six times daily, followed by an ointment application for the first 14 days. Afterward, a thick moisturizer is applied for the next 14 days. Antiviral medication is taken for 10 to 14 days. Mild lotion or cream may be applied. Avoid all sun exposure for three to six months. Camouflage makeup may be worn after 14 days. Several follow-up appointments will be necessary to monitor progress.

Sun exposure and smoking after a chemical peel must be avoided because they can cause unwanted side effects, including infection and scarring.

1. Aerobic exercise or vigorous physical activity or water sports should be avoided for the first 48 hours.
2. Direct sunlight is to be completely avoided immediately following the treatment especially between 11 am to 4 pm, including any other sources of strong UV light exposure and tanning beds.
3. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater. Sunscreen (with at least an SPF of 15) should become a part of your daily skincare regimen as your skin will become more sensitive to the sun as a result of this treatment.
4. Cleanse your face with water or a mild cleanser.
5. Gently moisturize your face with a moisturizer, a minimum of 2-3 times a day.
6. Do NOT peel, rub, or scratch your skin at any time, whatsoever. This will otherwise cause damage and compromise your results as well as lead to possible scarring.
7. Redness could be simple sensitivity to the procedure you have had. Please moisturize your skin.
