What are
the different chemical peels at vanity cosmetic clinic?
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai has a variety of Chemical Peels which can eliminate skin-related issues. Dr Santosh Bhatia, our Board-certified Plastic Surgeon has chosen the most effective Chemical Peels for his patients. They are as follows:
Glycolic Peel
Glycolic acid is the gold standard in chemical peel formulations. Its exfoliation properties work wonders on the patient’s skin. At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai, Glycolic Peel is our go-to for its proven ability to transform the health and appearance of a multitude of skin types.
The peel consists of Glycolic acid, Trichloroacetic acid and Phenolic acids as peeling agents used in various concentrations. The higher the percentage of the acids, the deeper the peel will be. Glycolic acid is a mild peel, which usually does not actually cause or result in a visible peeling of the skin. It is hence safe to use on darker skin types. When applied to the skin, the acid stings a little and eventually the skin look red to white in colour depending upon the depth of the peel.
If there is one virtually downtime-free skin treatment that peels off the dead skin cells microscopically, then it has to be glycolic acid chemical peel treatment. Also known as lightening peels, this treatment is ideal for women who suffer from excess sebum.
According to Dr Santosh Bhatia, our Board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Glycolic Peel rejuvenates your skin while reducing pigmentation problems and skin tanning. It simultaneously produces new collagen and elastin. It will help in achieving a skin that looks smoother, compact, lighter and even-toned in complexion post this magical alpha-hydroxyl acid procedure.
This is an effective treatment to remove superficial pigmentation blemishes from the skin. It has a firming effect on the collagen of the skin and thus decreases fine wrinkles and fresh acne scars.
You will need four to six sittings to be done every half of the month for a good result in advanced cases. Maintenance peels may be done every two months. These peels should only be done by a specialist who is trained in Dermatology or Plastic Surgery. If administered wrongly, they can even burn the skin and damage it significantly. Hence we recommend utmost care during application. The downtime is usually only a day or two. Adequate sun protection and moisturization are necessary during and after the peeling process.
Glutathione Peel
Glutathione Peel is the latest addition to skincare trends. People from all over the world are going gaga over this cosmetic treatment. At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai we always like to keep up with the times and hence we have added this new peel to our skin whitening and lightning docket.
Dr Santosh Bhatia, our Board-certified Plastic Surgeon explains that Glutathione Peel consists of glutathione which is a potent chemical that is commonly used as a brightener. Its healing and brightening properties have made it popular. Apart from Glutathione, the other ingredients are trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, kojic acid, phenol and vitamin C. All of these ingredients have anti-oxidant properties which suggest that they are effective anti-ageing solutions as well.
The benefits of Glutathione peel include an improved, brighter and whiter skin tone, less fine lines and wrinkles and reduction in acne outbursts.
Lightening Peel
Skin-lightening is a much-needed cosmetic treatment for women of all age groups. The side-effects of pollution and exposure to harsh weather make it necessary to undergo this treatment to restore their fair skin.
Lightening peels at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai are effective on all skin types – normal, oily or dry and all skin tones – fair to dark.
