Deep Chemical Peels
Deep peeling is the most intensive chemical peeling procedure. Deep peeling of skin is carried out with phenol which is a strong chemical. If you are getting deep peeling done, you must talk to your doctor if you have any cardiac problem. You must tell your doctor about any other health problem you may be having.
Effects Of Deep Peels:
Deep peeling with phenol removes pre-cancerous lesions, large skin blots or blotches, and deeper wrinkles. After getting treated with phenol, skin loses its ability to tan. This means that it stops making pigment to protect itself from sun rays. You will have to protect yourself from sun for your life with utmost care. Note it.
About The Procedure:
This procedure should be ideally carried out in a hospital setting. Normally this peeling is carried out under full anesthesia. The time of treatment may vary and it may take upto two hours for the whole treatment. After application of phenol solution, your doctor will apply tape or petroleum jelly over the treated skin. It takes about two hours for full face phenol peeling. It may be two to three weeks before you can go back to work. After phenol peeling your face may swell quite a lot and you may be advised to take liquid diet for a few days. You will also need help in the beginning of the recovery period. This peeling also lightens the skin substantially and may leave a line of demarkation. It is therefore not advised for dark skinned people.
