Bikini chemical peeling

Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of the skin.

It is done by using a chemical solution that exfoliates the outer layers of the skin, making the skin softer, more attractive, and free of blemishes. 

Chemical peeling helps treat both pimples and pigmentation caused by continuous exposure to sunlight.

Chemical peeling can be performed on the face or all parts of the body, including the knees, hands, and bikini area.

Types of chemical peels for bikini area

There are many types of chemical peeling for the bikini area, the most important of which are:

Superficial or light chemical peeling

Superficial chemical peeling removes the outer layer of the skin. It is done by using glycolic acid or lactic acid.

It is one of the most important types of chemical peeling for the skin that can be performed at home.

Superficial chemical peeling does not penetrate the deep layers, so it can be less harmful to the skin, and it requires from 1 to 7 days to recover from all its side effects.

However, the individual will need to undergo approximately five sessions to be able to see the results he desires. 

This type of chemical peel can be performed every 2-5 weeks, and sun damage should be avoided after the session. 

Medium chemical peel

Medium chemical peeling works by removing all skin cells, starting from the top layer and then the middle layer of skin.

It is usually used with trichloroacetic acid or glycolic acid to reach the middle or superficial layers of the skin. 

Side effects of a medium chemical peel may include swelling of the skin within 48 hours of the procedure.

It may cause some pimples and acne, and the individual may need to take antiviral medication.

Deep chemical peeling

 Deep chemical peeling removes all skin cells in the middle layer of the skin, and it may reach the deep or lower layer.

Because of the risks associated with this type of chemical peel, dermatologists generally do not recommend it. 

During deep peeling, a solution containing phenolic acid or trichloroacetic acid is used, and the individual may need a recovery period of approximately 2-3 weeks.

In order to know which is better, laser or deep chemical peeling, in general, laser gives better results for the deeper layers when compared to deep chemical peeling.
