Both light and medium
peels are considered safe for people with all skin colors. Aging skin
has a greater buildup of dead skin cells, which can create a dull look
and clog pores. Light peels are very effective at counteracting this
problem. Deep peels are not suitable for darker ethnic skin types.
Light and medium peels take from thirty to sixty minutes, and are
performed without anesthesia. A deep peel often takes two hours, and a
painkiller or light sedation is needed. |
| There is little or no downtime for
light peels. For a medium-depth peel, you will need to take at least
four to seven days off work, while a deep peel entails at least two
weeks of downtime. |
| |
| Both medium and deep peels carry risk
of scarring because the chemicals can burn the skin if they are left on
for too long. The risk is most significant for a deep peel. Deep peels
may cause a permanent change in skin color; the face takes on an
irreversible pallor. Postoperative infections can cause unexpected
complications. |
| |
| A light peel typically requires
repeated applications. For a medium or deep peel, one treatment usually
suffices. In general, the deeper the peel, the longer the effect. A
light peel must be repeated regularly, while a medium peel will last up
to a year. A deep peel will create permanent results, although new
wrinkles may form |
