Acne Peel

Apart from peels for acne there are many other options to be considered. Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) and Betahydroxy acids (BHAs) are two of the mildest and best formulations used in peels for acne and other skin imperfections and infections. Salicylic acid is very effective in treating acne and is included in peels. Sometimes peels treatment causes mild redness, irritation and crusting which will subside as the body adjusts to treatment. The treatment should be repeated within six weeks. If peels are done including trichloroacetic acid and phenol treatments, the results of the peels often last longer than normal peel treatments and the recovery time is also longer.

However, this includes greater risk of side effects and increased sensitivity to the sun. Peels do have certain limitations and sometimes are not effective in treating acne. Peels treatment can be combined with microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing and dermal filters to achieve results. Peel treatment is a costly treatment and is the main factor to decide for an individual. Each procedure has an underlying complexity and cost which affects the patient. Each plastic surgeon makes their time calculation and cost for the treatment of acne. Other factors which affect the cost of treatment are peel employed, location and the experience of the doctor or dermatologist.
