 At some
point in their lives, all women start to care about the preservation of their youth
and beauty, or finding the solution to eliminate skin problems they have. Owing
to the recent developments in plastic surgery, many things are possible - you
can not only get rid of the age signs on your face, but also completely change your
appearance. There is a problem, however, as plastic surgery is not a solution for
everyone, so we need alternative methods. Retinoic acid peel is one of the ways
to look younger without resorting to invasive esthetic correction methods.
What is
Retinoic Acid Peel?
Retinoic
acid peel is a type of chemical peel using retinoic acid. Retinoic acid is derived
from retinoids; which is denatured vitamin A. It is chemically similar to
Retin-A and has a similar effect on fibroblasts, collagen-producing skin cells.
Basically, retinoic acid peel is so effective that it stimulates active skin
cells division. In addition, retinoic acid peel contributes to sealing moisture
in the skin at the deepest level, stimulates collagen production and has an antiseptic
effect, since retinoic acid inhibits the growth of various bacteria.
Retinoic acid
peel is an effective skin rejuvenation method. The surface of the skin becomes
smoother, even the deepest lines and wrinkles are less visible or totally
eliminated. Moreover, this type of chemical peel is recommended to prevent malignant
skin conditions.
Retinoic
Acid Peel Procedure
Retinoic acid
peel is a unique procedure, which is perfect both for young and ageing skin. This
type of peel helps to restore the immune system, circulation and is beneficial
for your overall health. Another significant advantage of retinoic acid peel is
its relative painlessness. While many other types of peel require local anesthesia,
this type of facial peel often requires only a mild anesthesia, although the
doctor is not likely to put you totally under. Retinoic acid peel can be
performed on the face, neck, sensitive cleavage area and hands. Retinoic acid peel
is convenient because it requires no special preparation.
This type
of facial peel is performed in the office of a plastic surgeon or a
dermatologist or spa setting. This is a deeper peel than the beta acid peel and
is used to remove scars as well as wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation
problems. It is usually performed in conjunction with a Jessner; which is
performed right before, in order to open up the skin, so the retinoic can
penetrate on a deeper level.
The client
leaves with the chemical peel solution on their face. The peeling process takes
place on the third day. So, they will basically look okay to go to work on the
first two days and have to take only the third day off. In order to see real
changes in the skin, it is necessary to have a series of these peels. To
achieve a visible effect, it' recommended to have a retinoic acid peel done once
in every three weeks for at least three times, i.e. the course of retinoic acid
peels should last approximately for 6 weeks.
However,
not everyone can have this procedure done as there are contraindications for
retinoic acid peel. For example, these procedures can not be held concurrently
with radiotherapy, they are contraindicated to those suffering from severe
aspirin allergy. Herpes, rosacea, warts, pregnancy and lactation are also
considered contraindications. Therefore, before choosing this type of peel it
is recommended to see a beautician.
For those looking
for an easy way to quickly get rid of pigmentation problems, smallpox or acne
scars, and wrinkles, and improve overall skin appearance, retinoic acid peel
will be an excellent choice.
