A 'peel' is a procedure that induces the destruction of epidermal areas and/or layers of the dermis and subsequently triggers a regeneration process. Skin resurfacing with a chemical peel is a powerful tool that can restore a more youthful and rested appearance to the aging face. It is also used to manage other skin conditions with the aim of evening out pigmentation and reducing textural unevenness. Skin resurfacing with chemical peels ultimately aims to enhance a patient's appearance and thus, self-esteem.(1)

The peel is mainly used in the aesthetic field(2) in cases such as keratosis and stretch marks, dyschromia, acne & skin laxity.(2) The peeling procedure is also a valuable treatment method for aging skin, photo aging, acne scars and melasma and will also serve to improve skin vitality, tone and texture.(2)

Peels can be classified into the following categories:

The aim is to remove excess build up of skin cells, which in turn stimulates cell turnover, resulting in a more polished, smoother, translucent surface(3).

The quest to preserve a youthful appearance has persisted for centuries and recent advances in dermatology have catalysed the re-emergence of non-invasive techniques. Non-invasive modalities such as lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion remain viable alternatives to successful non-invasive facial revitalisation.(4)

PEEL CLASSIFICATION

There are three levels of chemical peel: superficial, medium & deep. The level of peel that will be used is determined by a number of factors such as the desired outcome, the base condition of the skin and the acceptable down time after a peel.

  • Superficial peel eliminates the superficial cells of the epidermis by causing the necrosis of the epidermis from granulose to basal layer. These peels stimulate a rapid regeneration of epidermis, eliminate spots, fine lines and improve wrinkles through the promotion of fibroblasts and regeneration of fibers of elastin and collagen.
  • Medium peel is recommended for skin that is more damaged as it will penetrate a deeper. Improvements can be seen in the middle layers of the skin.
  • Deep peel: this procedure is implemented to eliminate deep wrinkles, acne scars and signs of actinic keratosis. Since the deep peeling can cause hypopigmentation or skin whitening and skin changes it is recommended to use combinations of deep and medium peeling.(5)
