AES - CHEMICAL SKIN REJUVENATION

CHEMICAL SKIN REJUVENATION

Chemical Skin Rejuvenation was one of the most popular Aesthetic procedures before the advent of Lasers. Chemical Skin Rejuvenation still have its value in Aesthetic Medicine especially with the new line up of improvised ingredients for a more effective and safe results. Chemical Skin Rejuvenation Treatments involves the use of chemical agents to induce epidermal or dermal exfoliation while stimulating the dermal matrix at the same time. There are several chemical agents and the popular ones include:

  • AHA (Alpha Hydroxyl Acid, also known as Glycolic Acid)
  • BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid, also known as Salicylic Acid)
  • Lactic Acid
  • TCA (Trichloro Acetic Acid) peel
  • Combination peels such as Jessner’s peel or Modified Jessner’s peel

These chemical agents help to “de-glue” the skin matrix, allowing a uniform and smooth peeling of the superficial layer of the skin. The skin “de-gluing” process also induces an inflammatory reaction, which allows cell mediators to promote new cell growth. Regularly repeated Treatments will help to replace the aged dull and dead cells with a newer, healthier looking cells.
