Pigmentation

WHAT DOES THE PIGMENTATION TREATMENT ENTAIL?

It involves doing chemical peels using 20%-50% salicylic acid concentrations, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The chemical solution is applied to the skin to help gain a smoother skin and even out the complexion by reducing areas of darker pigment spots. The chemical peel also reduces the appearance of acne and makes fine lines and wrinkles less visible.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A peel removes several layers of sun damaged skin cells, leaving fresh skin which has a more even surface colour. It may stimulate new collagen to be formed improving skin texture.

 

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE USED?

Salicylic acid peels provide a superficial depth peel which is ideal to treat uneven pigmentation and acne. The TCA peels is a medium depth peel. It is mainly used to treat fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes and blotchy pigmentation.

 

HOW FAST WILL YOU SEE RESULTS?

After treatment your skin may be red or puffy, it may take up to one week for renewal and rebuilding process to allow your skin appearance to return to normal. Light peeling is an expected result but not necessary to see the improvement you want. There may be some crusting, particularly in the case of a TCA peel. This should be allowed to heal naturally. A course of 4 salicylic acid peels is recommended at monthly intervals or two TCA peels at six monthly intervals.

HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE?

The entire treatment only takes 25 minutes. The treatment must be administered by our specially trained doctor or skin care therapist. You can return to normal activities after a salicylic acid peel. However, following a TCA peel the downtime is at least 48 hours.

 

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

The treatment may cause an acne flare due to deep pore cleansing. Some patients may experience temporary spots of hyper- or hypo-pigmentation which usually resolves itelf.

Chemical peels are recommended for people with dull, tired skin with open pores where there is a loss of glow. Our highly skilled doctor will advise on an appropriate peel.
