WHAT IS CHEMO SURGERY?
The use of chemical substances to destroy diseased or unwanted tissue..
Chemo surgery, also known as chemical peels help in the improvement of our skin appearance. It is a cosmetic treatment that can be used on the face, neck and hands. In the course of the treatment is what we call exfoliation in some cases. Chemical solutions are mixed together and applied to the affected area, this solution causes the area to peel off . This helps the skin to be soft and reduces wrinkles.

REASON FOR CHEMICAL PEEL

Hyperpigmentation: This is a medical term used to describe when some part of the skin becomes darker than other areas. Many things can cause hyperpigmentation. Ranging from injury, changing in hormones like in the case of a pregnant woman, use of bleaching cream.

Scar: scar can be as a result from injury, acne. It's a mark that remains after a wound. It takes time to fade, depending on the type.of scar.

Sunburn damage: This is a kind of skin burn which occurs from too much exposure to the sun. The use of sunglasses can help prevent sun damage to the skin.

TYPE OF CHEMICAL PEEL

PHENOL PEEL: This kind of peel removes skin cell deeper. This is done for the removal of deep skin cell. It goes as deep as penetrating into the middle layer of the skin and It involves the use of trichloroacetic acid. Deep peel is done by dermatologist and doctors. This health practitioners use cotton wool to apply phenol to the skin. It is done gradually for 15 minutes to avoid too much exposure to the acid. The disadvantage include skin burning, it takes weeks for the new skin cell to develop, Swelling may occur.

SUPERFICIAL PEEL: This peel is a non surgical skin treatment that involves the removal of the outer skin layer. It isn't as deep as a deep peel. This peel uses light acid such as lactic acid. This treatment is used for discoloration of skin tone, exfoliation. It's used to correct one's skin tone.
