Chemical Peel Atlanta

Question:

CHEMICAL Peel? How do they perform Chemical Peel on your skin? Does it hurt? I have some marks/scars on the legs and arms,can I make it fade/smooth out by getting chemical peel(s) there? About how much per procedure $?

Answer:

Well as far as I know, the tca (medium depth) peel is thought to be much more effective than the alpha hydroxy (includes glycolic) peels, however, they have some down time like 7-10 days. I've been reading that tca peels can cost as much as $1,000 (or more). I'm actually saving up for that kinda peel (so that I can have appeal, lol ;) I have some hyperpigmentation on my face and am hoping that I will have a more youthful appearance. I've been reading that microdermabrasion doesn't make too much of a difference despite the hype and all. I believe that with chemical peels, one should go to a dermatologist (as opposed to a plastic surgeon) just because the derm are specialists on the skin. And it's best to make sure that which ever dr one goes to is board-certified. There is a message forum that talks about chemical peels at this site: www.makemeheal.com Very informative and free to register. I looked on the laser treatment board there and found that there are patients that are quite disappointed with the laser as it was too 'ablative' or harsh. So it's great to do one's homework
