Are Laser and Chemical peel treatments safe for the skin?

Patient's Query

I have seen a lot of videos on Youtube of Laser treatment for hair and skin to remove pigmentation and acne scars. Also, I wanted to know about chemical peels. Are all these treatments safe or not?

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

Chemical peel is a clinical treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to your skin to remove the top layers, and the skin which grows back turns out to be much smoother in comparison.
Depending on the depth of these peels, you will find that there 3 types available - light, medium, and deep. With a light or medium peel you may need to undergo this procedure multiple times so as to obtain desirable results. And deeper the peel, more dramatic the results will be, but accordingly same will ensue a longer recovery time as well.
Chemical peels are effective in treating wrinkles, discolored skin and scars — usually on the face. They can either be done alone, or in combination with other cosmetic procedures as well.
There are various side effects that can follow however, such as redness, scabbing and swelling on using medium to deep peel, scarring in rare cases which can be softened with steroids, changes in skin color such as hypopigmentation after light peel or hyperpigmentation after dark peel, bacterial/viral/fungal infection, and damage in organs such as heart, kidney or liver if a deeper peel is applied.
An experienced dermatologist would know whether your skin is suitable for this treatment, his expertise will enable him to make careful decisions regarding the choice of peel & appropriate number of sessions to be arranged, he will also conduct examination tests such as reviewing your medical history, knowing your expectations and doing physical examinations, and along with that he will prepare you for the treatment beforehand by suggesting you what kind of medicines/creams/bleaching agents to use, and what things to be avoid, such as exposure to sun, cosmetic treatments, and hair removal treatments.

I'm 18 years old ,I started using salicylic acid face wash on my face three weeks ago ,now I wanna stop that , because I can't see my skin purging at a level ,soo what will happen after that and can I use niacinamide serum to clear my skin from purging?

Female | 18

It’s normal for your skin not to have an immediate breakout when you quit using a salicylic acid cleanser. Different people have different experiences with purging. A niacinamide serum may be beneficial in clearing your skin. Reducing redness and improving skin texture are some of the things niacinamide can do. Ensure you follow the directions on the package and be patient for results.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Male | 26

Cle­aning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus ge­rms inside. Tetanus makes muscle­s tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take­ the tetanus shot within one to thre­e days. Since it's bee­n four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be­ secure. That shields you from risks.

Stitches on web of hand have opened and now there is pus and earlier a large red mass on stiches

Male | 14

You may have an infection in the stitches on your hand. When pus comes out, it indicates that there is probably bacteria which is causing the infection. This might have occurred if the wound was not kept clean. If there was a large red lump previously, it could have been an abscess. It’s crucial to have this seen by medical professional because, without proper care, things like these can worsen.

I am 31 year old female from lucknow ,i want to know about skin melanin treatment surgery for skin lightening and whitening ,is this is good for skin in future or in my 60’s ,,i have dry combination skin Please suggest

Female | 31

Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

Female | 23

Having breast and armpit ache­s for a long time is unusual. It's crucial to get examine­d. These pains could stem from hormonal shifts, infe­ctions, or breast tissue issues. De­termining the cause re­quires medical consultation. A doctor can suggest appropriate tre­atment after diagnosis.

I have dark tan black on my neck

Male | 30

When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.
