Are Chemical Peels Safe?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Skincare is growing increasingly popular among men and women around the world. People practice skincare for a variety of reasons, the most common being to improve the appearance of their skin. Typically, skin problems like hyperpigmentation and acne cause skin damage. These damaged skin cells need to be removed in order to give the face a more healthy and appealing appearance. This is when dermatological treatments like the “chemical peel” come in.

A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin in order to remove the damaged outer layer. There are various exfoliating procedures for removing dead skin cells, including chemical peel treatment. The goal of chemical peels is to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance. In this post, we will look at the potential risks and side effects of chemical peel treatments.

Common Side Effects of Chemical Peel Treatment

While this treatment is useful for damaged skin, it is important to be aware of the possible side effects. I’ve seen a couple of people on the internet that go to strange aestheticians to get chemical peels. They’d go on the internet and whine about how the treatment damaged their face. Perhaps they were not properly educated on the procedure of chemical peeling, or it was performed poorly. Hence, if you’re seeking to test out chemical peel treatment, here are some of the typical side effects you should expect:

  • Redness or irritation of the skin – this is similar to a sunburn
  • Flaky or extremely dry and cracked skin
  • Burning sensation on the skin
  • Slight swelling around the eye region

Are There Any Less Common Side Effects of Chemical Peel Treatment?

Yes, there are. As new skin cells grow and the skin heals, the common side effects go away on their own. This occurs a few days or weeks after the treatment. These less common chemical peel side effects, however, do not go away by themselves. To heal them, you have to either apply a topical cream or seek medical care. These side effects consist of:

  • Scarring of the skin (this could be permanent) – especially if the chemical peel was deep
  • Changes in skin color; either the skin gets darker or lighter
  • Infection of the skin
  • Systemic toxicity (Certain acid like phenol when it absorbs into the skin, and enters the bloodstream in significant amount, it can affect the organs)

How Can You Reduce The Risk That Comes With Chemical Peel Treatment?

First and foremost, you should see a dermatologist or aesthetician who will assess your skin type and any previous skin conditions you may have. This will enable them to provide you with an appropriate recommendation regarding the depth of chemical peel treatment you need; this could be superficial, medium, or deep chemical peel treatment.

The dermatologist or aesthetician will provide you with pretreatment instructions during your appointment so you can get your skin ready for the procedure. To protect your skin from beginning to end of the treatment, this advice may include stopping the use of certain skincare products or medications. You will have some side effects after the treatment. Nevertheless, there will be recommended guidelines to reduce the possibility of infection, promote quicker skin healing, and improve the quality of your skin.

Conclusion

A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin in order to remove the damaged outer layer. While this treatment is useful for damaged skin, it is important to be aware of the possible side effects.

Common side effects include redness or irritation of the skin, as well as flaky or severely dry and cracked skin. These kinds of side effects usually resolve on their own. While less common side effects such as infection and scarring of the skin require medical attention to repair the skin.
