Available chemical peeling varieties:

Alpha hydroxy acid (aha) chemical peels:

    Glycolic acid peels are most common chemical facial peels using alpha hydroxyl acid or aha
    Glycolic acid (neostrata, usa) is alpha hydroxyl acid that occurs naturally in sugar cane
    Aha chemical peels are popular way to slough off layers of dead skin cells
    They encourage skin cell regeneration & require little or no recovery time
    During aha chemical peels, glycolic acid penetrates surface layers of skin & loosens dry, thick skin that makes complexion look aged and dull
    As a result of glycolic acid peels, skin with smoother & more youthful texture is revealed

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peels:

    TCA chemical peels are mid-level peels that involve applying trichloroacetic acid to skin
    They are excellent "spot" treatment and can be used on any exposed area of body
    After tca peels, superficial brownish crust forms over treated area which peels off within three to seven days
    The newly revealed skin may appear reddish, but discoloration will soon fade to reveal dramatically improved texture, color & overall appearance
    The whole process can be completed in as little as 10 minutes

TCA chemical peels are popular but require experienced dermatologist to perform this as it could be dangerous when performed by inexperienced hands

Crystal peeling/microdermabrasion:

    Microdermabrasion (often referred as crystal peeling) is a cosmetic procedure that has long been popular in dermatologist's practices & medical spas
    Here stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of skin) is partially/completely removed by light abrasion
    Method used includes mechanical abrasion from jets of aluminum oxide crystals that are removed/ vacuumed off through wand/hand piece through which abrasive particles come
    Microdermabrasion is used for removing sun-damaged skin as well as in removing or lessening scars (acne scars) & dark spots on skin
    The procedure is not painful & requires no anesthetics
    Microdermabrasion can also be used medically for scar removal when scar is raised above surrounding skin
    Patient has to keep strict sun protection after procedure
