Milder Chemical Peels Preferred For Rosacea
Superficial chemical peels have a proven track record for correcting many difficult skin conditions including acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, psoriasis and skin-fighting degradation from chronological and environmental aging. The variety of blends available allows the skincare professional to customize protocols and effectively address specific skin conditions.
For treating acneic skin types, look for a modified Jessner’s solution with ingredients such as kojic acid for tyrosinase-inhibiting action and antibacterial properties. For hyperpigmentation, look for lightening ingredients such as kojic acid, azelaic acid, L-arbutin, licorice and Rumex crispus. Rosacea requires treatment with milder formulations than other conditions to avoid overheating skin and possibly causing flare-ups. Utilizing formulations containing the effective antiinflammatory ingredients bisabolol, willowherb and willow bark help keep sensitive skin types calm during and after treatment. Patients who are seeking skin rejuvenation or sun-damage repair, chemical peels with retinol, TCA, chasteberry and soy isoflavones will stimulate cell turnover with minimal irritation and excellent results.
Once the selected chemical peel has been applied to skin, the newer cells beneath the impacted stratum corneum are able to more effectively absorb beneficial nutrients needed to even skin tone, stimulate cell turnover and rebuild collagen—the skin’s support system—ultimately improving the overall health and appearance of the skin.
Following this loosening of the stratum corneum, it is an ideal time to spot-treat hyperpigmentation and fine lines with tyrosinase inhibitors, peptides and growth factors, as well as infuse weakened skin with restorative antioxidants and polyphenols that combat free-radical damage.
Introduce anti-inflammatory topicals during treatments to calm skin sensitized by UV overexposure, pollutants and irritating cosmetics. Customize treatments for dry and dehydrated skin with hygroscopic agents, such as hyaluronic acid, that attract and retain cellular moisture. Always seal and occlude the protocol with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
