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.

My sister put a caustic soda flake on her tongue and her lip is swollen. What is the best way to help her.

Female | 10

Your sister possibly injured her tongue due to caustic soda flakes. This can result in an enlargement and ache in the lip. The most effective treatment is to rinse her mouth with cool water for at least 20 minutes. This will contribute to the removal of any remaining chemicals and repair the damaged area. Let her utilize ice cubes to suck on to diminish the swelling. Tell her to consume cool water or milk to help with the vexation. Be alert for any wheezing or acute agony. If these signs arise, rush her to the emergency room immediately.

I have pimples what is the best treatment for pimples and also acne and how to remove tan

Female | 15

Pimples, acne, and tan are usual skin problems. Red bumps are the assets of the pimple, while a bunch of pimples adds up to a pimple. They are the result of both oily skin and dirt on it. The face can be washed twice a day to achieve this. Implements such as benzoyl peroxide can be used to cure them. Tan is dark skin which is the result of the sun. Using sunscreen can prevent this. Getting rid of the tan takes time, use the skin-lightening creams or laser treatments instead.

I am 21 year old female. I have premature gery hair for last 4 years . But day by it increases. What should I do now?

Female | 21

It’s common to get gray hair early, especially if it started in your teenage years. This can be due to genetics, stress, or diet. While it might seem worrying, gray hair usually isn't a sign of a serious health problem. You can choose to use hair dye or embrace your natural look. Remember to eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and take good care of your hair.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

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.
