Chemical peels are a popular method for skin rejuvenation. With advancements in technology, chemical peels are pushing the limits of what is possible in the world of skincare. If you are for a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your skin, a chemical peel may be the solution you have been searching for in Washington DC. 

I believe my article offers valuable advice not just to the consumer but also to medical and cosmetic practitioners who opt for chemical peeling versus another resurfacing modality available in the marketplace.

Chemical peels are my preferred method of facial rejuvenation in Washington DC for removal of #acnescars, dark spots, pigmentation, seborrheic keratosis, hypertrophic scars, or keloids since 1979. The difference between then and nowadays is that my peeling technique is more refined, the composition of the peeling solutions is without alcohol base with improved carrier or delivery system. The new chemical peels simplify the procedure and help the practitioner to select the right peeling solution precisely for the right skin problem to achieve the best results.

 Today the consumer is somehow scared about the zillion offerings of chemical peels. Posts on YouTube and other social media platforms confused people as well. Salicylic acid versus Glycolic peel, medium depth peel versus superficial peel, enzyme peels versus chemical peels, DIY peel versus professional peel. Chemical peeling is the application of a chemical agent to the skin, which leads to the controlled destruction of the epidermis with or without the dermis. This leads to exfoliation and removal of skin layers followed by regeneration of both the epidermis and dermis. There are limitations to their use in dark-skinned patients (Fitzpatrick skin type IV, V). In these cases, resorcinol acid composed of alcohol produces prolonged pigmentation and unpleasant adverse effect.

Recently I attended a lecture on chemical peeling. The moderator was a doctor from France and the panel doctors from Israel, UK, France all using daily peels in their practices with fabulous results, but no cosmetic chemist was in the team. The moderator presented a case with a bad result from peeling. That somehow upset the panel, and I raised my opinion on the matter saying: “There is always possibility of mild to serious scaring not just with chemical peeling but with lasers as well and if you burn the skin, you must know how to cure the burn right away.” The moderator just mention that a phenol peel was used in the case but did not know the exact composition (there are many phenol formulation options). He has no way of knowing if the patient followed up the post peeling instructions, in fact he has no way of knowing what the patient was doing after leaving the doctor’s office.

In my practice in Washington DC, I provide a rehabilitation post-peel protocol for the patient. Call the patient 48 hours after the peel to ensure that all my post peel instructions are executed.

Someone from the audience raised the question about prepping the skin for chemical pealing. About prepping the skin with multiple products before the procedure, I consider this approach pointless because what is the purpose of prepping since I must peel the skin, exception may be only in cases for #melasma in dark skin patients. The usual treatment for melasma is a triple combination therapy composed of hydroquinone, retinoic acid, and a topical steroid. For example, tretinoin limits the oxidation of hydroquinone and improves epidermal penetration while steroid reduces irritation and, as a result, triple therapy leads to a faster response with fewer side-effects when combined with chemical peel. The topical steroid used is often of a low potency, this is because higher potency steroids have a higher side-effect profile and a higher relapse rate. It is better to splurge on good products in the post-peel period: a) for faster recovery and b) to support the best skin rejuvenation.    

Use Osmotic Peel SP alcohol-free control delivery chemical peel with no side effects of any kind to prep the skin for medium depth peel. Any peeling agent dissolved in alcohol with multiple sessions will only smooth the skin, but the brown spots, pigmentation of any kind will still be there. The most efficient peels today are solutions with several peeling agents with added proteins made for comfort not for pain, for results not for publicity. “Double action peels', "organic cream peels “ make no sense to me.

Documented hundreds of before and after with impressive results. Posting these cases on my website or social media requires consent from the patient. Privacy is another issue to keep good relations with the patrons.

There are no current trends in chemical peeling but new peeling innovative solutions with old peeling agents. Knowledge of anatomy is imperative in chemo-abrasion and peeling.

i recommend segmented peels with different peeling solutions in one session for best patient satisfaction. Chemical peels have been around for decades, and they are the most popular and pocket-friendly choice for skin regeneration.
