Progressive or Quick and Dramatic Results

When selecting the appropriate chemical peel to treat a particular skin concern, downtime must to be taken into consideration.  One may not mind the significant downtime, redness and excessive flaking of nearly a week or longer. Downtime is their least concern in order to achieve the more dramatic results with a chemical peel such as a TCA. Another fact may be that one may have more time on their hands for the recovery. But one who is constantly on the run and has to face the public may wish to be more discreet about their peeling treatments thus a milder peel with no flaking or redness can be chosen such as Glycolic peel. This would be a more progressive approach but still very effective with longer period of time. In addition, if the skin concern is very stubborn then only effective treatment might be a deeper more aggressive peel.
