Chemical Peel

Chemical Peel

A facial peel refers to the application of one or more chemicals to the face which ‘burn’ off damaged cells. 

They may be used to treat damage caused by exposure to the sun, to remove pigmentation such and fine lines and wrinkles.

A peel removes several layers of sun damaged skin cells, leaving fresh skin which has a more even
surface and colour. It may stimulate new collagen to be formed improving skin texture. Peels may result
in superficial, moderate depth or deep skin injury.
 

Uses of chemical peels:

Acne like blackheads and whiteheads and the mild superficial acne scars.
Pigmentation of the skin like sun spots, age spots, freckles and melasma. Minimise fine wrinkles especially around the eyes. It does not treat severe wrinkles.
 
There are 3 main types of chemical peels including Glycolic acid (alpha hydroxyacids), Trichloracetic acid (TCA) and Jessner peels (containing salicylic acid and lactic acid).
 

Before the peel

Pre-treatment creams are applied to the face at night for several weeks prior to the peel. By exfoliating the skin and reducing pigmentation themselves, they improve the results seen from chemical peeling.

 

The peel

Superficial chemical peels are a minor procedure and no special arrangements are needed. First the face is thoroughly washed to remove surface oil. The peeling agent is then applied for several minutes. It stings – how badly and for how long depends on the chemical, its concentration, whether you’ve had pre-treatment with aspirin, and individual factors. A fan can help. The peel is then neutralised, and the burning sensation lessens. Antibiotics and painkillers may be required after deeper peels.
 
 

Afterwards

Superficial peels result in mild facial redness and occasional swelling which usually resolve within 48 hours. The peeling is similar to sunburn. Most people can continue their normal activities. Make-up
can be applied a few hours after the procedure.
 
Looking after the skin after the peel:

  • Keep treated areas cool (use a water spray).
  • Do not pick! Picking delays healing and causes scarring
  • Moisturise – use light preparations after a superficial peel, thicker moisturisers after a deeper peel
  • Protect from the sun – especially for the first 6 months

Cafe Au Lait

Cafe A Lait

Café-au-lait macules (CALMs), or café-au-lait spots, are flat, oval lesions (marks) on the skin. Café-au-lait means “coffee with milk” in French. The name refers to the colour of the spots, as they are at least a shade darker than your child’s skin tone.

Café-au-lait macules commonly appear at birth but may develop later, during the first year of life. Their colour varies from light brown to dark brown.

How do CALMs affect the body?

CALMs are benign (harmless). They do not hurt or itch and never progress to anything serious such as skin cancer. The spots can become darker throughout childhood or with sun exposure, but this is not a cause for concern.

How are CALMs diagnosed?

CALMs are easily diagnosed by a skin examination. “Typical” CALMs range from light to dark brown and are well defined, even coloured and often round or oval. They vary in size and can appear anywhere on the skin, although they rarely appear on the face.

How are CALMs treated?

No therapy is needed for CALMs. If your child is concerned about how their CALMs look, you can consider covering the CALMs with camouflage make-up to make them less noticeable. Some people consider laser treatment to reduce the colour. 

At our Children Adult Skin Clinic, we  treat Cafe Au Lait with our  VBeam  Vascular Treatment. Call us for appointment today to see our doctor.

Ultherapy for Wrinkles

Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges in the skin. They normally appear as people get older, but they can also develop after spending a long time in water. The first wrinkles to appear on a person’s face tend to occur as a result of facial expressions.

Sun damage, smoking, dehydration, some medications, and environmental and genetic factors affect when and where people will develop wrinkles.

Most wrinkles tend to appear in the parts of the body which receive the most sun exposure, especially the face and neck, the back of the hands, and the arms. Ultrasound skin tightening is used to treat this. It uses time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally — without surgery or downtime.

 
Dark Eye Circles

Sleep deprivation can cause your skin to become dull and pale, allowing for dark tissues and blood vessels beneath your skin to show. Lack of sleep can also causefluid to build underneath your eyes, causing them to appear puffy. As a result, the dark circles you see may actually be shadows cast by your puffy eyelids.

Ultherapy for Saggy Skin

Collagen and elastin help keep your skin firm. You may develop sagging skin with age as your skin loses its natural elasticity. Extrinsic factors such as repetitive facial expressions, sleeping positions, smoking and sun exposure can prematurely age your skin and lead to sagging.

Extreme or rapid weight loss may also contribute to saggy skin. Ultrasound skin tightening is used to treat this. It uses time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally — without surgery or downtime.

Melasma

Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem. It causes brown to gray-brown patches, usually on the face.

Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck.

Main cause of Melasma

This means birth control pills, pregnancy, and hormone therapy can all trigger melasma. Stress and thyroid disease are also thought to be causes of melasma. Additionally, sun exposure can cause melasma because ultraviolet rays affect the cells that control pigment.

Why does melasma occur?

When melasma occurs during pregnancy, it is also called chloasma, or “the mask of pregnancy.” Pregnant women experience increased estrogen, progesterone, and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) levels during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Melanocytes are the cells in the skin that deposit pigment

Treatment of Melasma

  • Topical agents
  • Chemical Peels
  • Laser and light-based treatments
    The lesions of melasma are not the only hyperpigmented lesions that are successfully treated with laser and light therapy. Hori’s nevus, which often appears as macular blue-gray lesions in a bilateral facial distribution similar to melasma, has been successfully treated with Q-switched lasers in a handful of studies within the last 2 decades.

Urticana (Hives)

Urticana (Hives)

Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly — either as a result of the body’s reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons . 

Urticaria occurs when the body reacts to an allergen and releases histamine and other chemicals from under the surface of the skin. The histamine and chemicals cause inflammation and fluid to accumulate under the skin, causing wheals.

  • Although hives are very common, and their cause is often elusive
  • Hives can change size rapidly and move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours
  • Ordinary hives flare up suddenly
  • Occasionally hives are produced by direct physical stimulation by environmental forces like heat, cold, and sunlight
  • Antihistamines are the most common treatment for hives
  • Hives typically are not associated with long-term or serious complications.

Treatment
