Chemical Peel Procedure


It's a procedure in which a controlled chemical burn is applied to the skin using chemical solution in order to remove outer layers of the skin. It can remove delicate wrinkles, pigmentation marks and other skin defects. Peeling also has some medical advantages like removal of pre cancerous conditions and acne scars.

The solutions being used are phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxil acids (AHA).

AHA is used for delicate peeling, it gives you smooth and shine skin, and it also treats delicate wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation. Several treatments usually required on weekly bases. The solution can also be incorporated into cr?mes or facial wash and can be used on daily bases.

TCA is used for intermediate peeling. It removes wrinkles and superficial skin defects and pigmentation. Usually more then one treatment required and it has longer healing times then AHA. It can be used in whole body parts.

Phenol is the most powerful solution, which is used for deep peeling. It removes deep wrinkles, pre malignant conditions and skin defects due to sun exposure; it also causes brighter skin color. It can be used only in the face area.

It is recommended to use several creams before the peeling to get better results. Retin-A thinners the upper layers of the skin and hydroquinone which bleaches the skin.

The peeling is done by the following techniques: AHA - after the cleaning of the skin the doctor spreads the solution on the skin. It takes 10 minutes, afterwards the doctor gives you instructions how to use this cream for several weeks at home.. During those weeks you'll be invited for check up to follow the progress of peeling.

TCA - usually takes 45 minutes. You may feel a burning sensation which disappears after a few minutes. Second treatments usually done with an interval of a couple of month.

Peeling with phenol lasts 1-2 hours. One treatment usually sufficient. You'll need to cover the face with a bandage or Vaseline cream.

After the treatment with AHA you can immediately return to daily activities, but you must wear sunscreen. TCA causes redness and swelling which disappears during the week, you can return to work after 7-10 days. After the use of phenol skin regeneration usually takes 7-10 days. At first you'll have a very reddish skin that will gradually change to pink color. It is very important to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to avoid burns and pigmentation.

  • California Get around

    California is the third largest state in terms of land size, and is larger than many countries. However, getting around California can be quite simple. In addition to interstates and US highways, California has one of the most expansive state highway systems in the United States. As with all trips in the United States, a car is usually the best way to get around and see all destinations. However the trip from the top of California to the bottom can take well over ten hours. Flying may be a more reasonable option. Many major (like American and United) and low fare airlines (like jetBlue and Southwest) link cities within the state of California.

    For those that don't wish to drive, one can also use the state's various rail services, which provide cheap and resonably comfortable way to see and get around much of the state. Caltrain operates commuter service in the Bay Area, between San Francisco and San Jose. Amtrak and Amtrak California offer more traveller-oriented services throughout much of the state. Visit their websites, and this Wikitravel article for more information.

  • A report on 5 years treatment with infliximab in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. These patients had initially been treated with infliximab in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=69) and at week 12, patients initially assigned to placebo switched to infliximab. Clinical efficacy was maintained in several open-label extension phases of this study in which patients were treated continuously with infliximab infusions of 5 mg/kg every 6 weeks for up to 3 years (FU1). After a short phase of discontinuation and restart of infliximab therapy because of clinical relapse, patients received continuous treatment. The primary outcome of this extension was remission according to the ASsessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) criteria at the end of year 5 of the study (FU2). Of the 43 patients who completed year 3, 42 agreed to continue, 38 of which (90.5%) finished year 5 (55% of 69 initially). The following findings were reported: • Partial clinical remission was achieved in 13 of 38 patients (34.2%) at FU1 and FU2. • At FU2, the mean Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was 2.5 (baseline: 6.4, FU1:2.5). • BASDAI values < 4 were seen in 79% of patients at both, FU1 and FU2. • ASAS 20% and 40% responses were seen in 32 (84%) and 24 (63%) patients at FU2, respectively. • During the fourth and fifth year of the study, 36 of 38 patients (94.7%) reported at least one adverse event; the most frequently reported events were common cold (41%), bronchitis (11%) and increase of liver enzymes (6.5%). • Six of the 43 patients (14%) at FU1 reported serious adverse events (SAE) during years 4 and 5 of the study: 1 patient withdrew because of recurrent vaginal infections and the other patient due to repeated infections of the upper respiratory tract. The researchers conclude “this study shows that therapy of AS patients is efficacious and safe over 5 years of almost continuous treatment. There was no indication of loss of response as indicated by the persistent rate of remission and low disease activity. As we had tried to discontinue therapy after 3 years without success we believe that continuous therapy is necessary to achieve a lasting effect in these patients.”
