Certainly not. There will be remarkable reduction in the acne, the inflammation and pigmentSoprano at Derma-Care is first of its kind in India. Hair reduction is permanent but a few thin hairs may persist and require more sessions.

3. What are the different chemical peels done in Derma-Care centre?

We do Glycolic , Lactic, Salicylic, Pyruvic and Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels. TCA peels are exclusively for deep acne scars and Salicylic for inflammatory acne. Other peels are for chronic acne, pigmentation and weather beaten facial skin.

4. How are chemical peels and lasers superior to creams and ointments in treating a patient with severe acne and acne scars?

It is the failure of creams to control acne which led to inevitable progressive scarring and brought about the birth of peels and candela lasers to manage acne. Later pixel erbium lasers were designed to reduce scarring.

5. Are chemical peels equivalent to the bleaching and facials done in beauty parlour?

Bleaching and facials are comparable to bullock carts while chemical peels are to motor cars. Bleaching only lightens pigment temporarily whereas chemical peels actively remove pits, pigments and pimples.

6. Can chemical peel and laser be done on the same day together?

As a combination chemical peels and laser can be done on the same day and laser will always precede the peel.

7. How does combination of candela and pixel laser help a patient to achieve best results for acne scars?

The Candela 1450 diode targets the middle portion of the dermis, where the sebaceous glands are situated. The sebaceous gland obstruction and inflammation are the source of acne The glands are heated and become dysfunctional. Simultaneously fibrous scar tissue is broken down and fibroblasts lay down new collagen. Collagen is the wavy tissue which makes the skin tight and supple. The acne thus disappears for several months. Three sessions are required once a month. The pixel erbium works on the skin surface and remove scars and pits. Healing takes place in 5 days. So a combination of Candela and Pixel lasers help maximal restoration of the acne scarred face.
