Face peels for acne

Face peels are a fantastic method of fading atrophic acne scars, reducing hyperpigmentation, and smoothing out the skin. Atrophic acne scars form when the skin is unable to regenerate itself. But chemical peels are an effective way to reduce this type of acne scarring. The exact kind of face peel to be used will be determined during your initial skin assessment with one of our skincare specialists.

Types of chemical face peel to treat acne scarring

Types of chemical face peel used to treat acne scarring include:

  • Lactic acid peel

AlumierMD Chemical Peel Key Ingredients and Side Effects

Active ingredients vary depending on which chemical peel you choose. We use AlumierMD lactic acid peels, salicylic acid peels, and trichloroacetic acid peels. Each of these individual ingredients is an active ingredient.

  • Lactic acid: an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates and helps fade dark spots.
  • Salicylic acid: a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) naturally found in plants. Possesses cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Trichloroacetic acid: an acetic acid, highly effective at removing dead and damaged skin cells.

Common chemical peel side effects include:

  • redness
  • flaking
  • tenderness
  • tingling

Side effects duration varies, depending on the chemical peel type. Side effects can range from several days to a week or two.

Whether you have moderate acne scars or severe scarring, Dr Aesthetica’s clinic will help you find the best chemical peel, for optimal results.

Chemical Peel Benefits

In addition to fading acne scars and hyperpigmentation, chemicals peels also present these benefits:

  • More radiant skin: damaged skin cells are removed, revealing new, healthier skin cells
  • Reduced signs of sun damage: less hyperpigmentation
  • Softens fine lines: removing damaged cells promotes the growth of new, smoother cells
  • Minimises appearance of pores: peels remove oil and debris in pores
  • Improved efficacy of skin care products: unclogged pores can absorb solutions more effectively

What to expect after a chemical peel?

Immediately after your peel, the following responses are normal:

  • Redness to the treated area
  • A stinging sensation

The redness will diminish after the first few hours, and you may feel tenderness in the treated area. After a chemical peel, the skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so wear sunscreen every day and avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Within the first 48-72 hours, you may experience an increase in the shedding of dead skin cells. These will flake away themselves, although you will need to avoid touching and rubbing the treated area. That said, some patients may not experience any noticeable shedding of the skin.

Recovery time will vary depending on the type of peel you get and your skin’s response to the treatment. Your consultant will be able to advise on how long you can expect the recovery to take post-treatment.

Chemical Peel Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments applied to the face to treat most skin-related issues, for example, signs of ageing (fine lines etc), hyperpigmentation, age spots, sun damage, rosacea, pitting, and acne. They can also help with improving skin texture and firmness, even skin tone, and reduce pore size. Professional chemical peels far outweigh the effect of an exfoliating scrub or brush. That said, it’s important that you undergo a consultation with a trained skin care specialist, so they can determine which products and type of treatments are best for your skin.
How does a chemical peel work?
Chemical face peels work by removing the outer layer of the skin and stimulating new tissue growth. They target different depths of the skin depending on what you are hoping to achieve from each treatment. Superficial peels primarily target the very top layers of the epidermis (outermost of the three layers of the skin). In contrast, medium-depth peels treat through to the papillary dermis, and deep peels treat the mid-reticular dermis(the lowest layer of the dermis). Your skin consultant will be able to advise on which type of chemical peel will work best for your unique situation.
Are chemical peels safe?
Chemical peels are safe. However, like any other cosmetic procedure, they must be performed by a trained and experienced professional. Chemical peels can potentially have adverse results such as s scarring, swelling, infection, or discoloration. But if done by the right person, such effects are rare. Other than that, most people feel a burning sensation that lasts about five to ten minutes during the procedure. Also, you may need pain medication after a deeper peel to ease the discomfort.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Light and medium peels can cause a tingling or burning sensation. The type of peel used and your skin’s sensitivity can affect the level of discomfort. To reduce discomfort, avoid sun exposure in the days before and after a chemical peel.
Are chemical peels covered by the NHS?
No, this treatment is not available on the NHS, as chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment. The NHS does not cover elective aesthetic treatments. The NHS only covers pain-related treatments, such as Botox injections for bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ syndrome, and chronic migraines.
