Problem: age related skin wrinkling. What type of peel (by name) will typically not leave a person with a scary welting appearance?
Answer: Chemical Peels - Depends on the Depth Hi there, the question you ask allows me to comment on how peels work. Peels, the different types, work by removing different layers of skin. The most superfical peels really only remove dead skin and clean pores. With these (Salicylic, Glycolic, Jessners) there is no bleeding and really no downtime. THey are great options for smoothing your skin and keeping it looking fresh. However, they will NOT treat wrinkles. You can then get into medium depth peels that can in fact cause some bleeding. These get into the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and outer layer of dermis. These peels can help with some minor wrinkles. The deep ones, you get bleeding and have a much higher risk of complications., They also remove wrinkles but can change the skin color dramatically. My advice, look into other options as well. CO2 laser treatments, botox and radiofrequency skin tightening. Dr James P. BonaparteOtolaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryFacial Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryOttawa, Ontario, Canada

Answer: Non-Traumatic Chemical Peels Hello and thank you for your question. Typically speaking, no peel should leave you with welts, crusting or oozing. That was the old school of thought. Nowadays, chemical peels have come a long way by being non-traumatic. The inclusion of liposomes in chemical peels makes the chemical penetrate the skin immediately; not allowing it to stay on the superficial epidermis. Some chemical peels are combined with antioxidants, amino acids and anti-inflammatory ingredients so that while you are causing trauma to the skin, there are added ingredients to counter the effects of inflammation, which in turn, provides for non- welting, crusting or oozing skin. The best chemical peel ingredient I have come across for age related skin conditions is Retinaldehyde. It is the precursor to retin A, but without the harsh side effects. It is a dermal remodeler and in high strengths can resurface the skin without causing any inflammation or irritation. The best way to remodel the dermis is the use a product or peel with retinaldehyde. You can change your skin without compromising it's integrity. I hope this information helps a bit. Best Wishes
