Does our famous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra used chemical peel?
Chemical peeling advanced exfoliation, used before more than 6000 years. Queen Cleopatra is believed to have used fruit acids and lactic acid from milk to maintain her beautiful complexion.
Peeling of the skin is a natural process as skin totally renews itself every month. In fact we shed around 35,000 to 41,000 skin cells every hour – that’s around a million a day, or 3-6kg per year.
A chemical peel is usually a very safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced health care professionals.
But if you use at home peel without any medical supervision that can cause alot harm because Acids work by damaging tissue, if you apply excess acid or leave it on even for 5 more seconds, it can damage more tissue, which will result in burning of skin. The Deep peel have more possible side effects like burn, pigmentation, scarring & infection however it can be controlled in clinical settings. The number of the sittings can be assessed only by the Dermatologist based on skin check up test.
