ABOUT CHEMICAL PEELING IN TURKEY
During chemical peeling, the use of anesthesia is rarely required but burning sensation followed by slight stinging will occur when the solution is applied onto the skin. Deeper peels will require extensive local anesthesia, systemic sedation and rarely general anesthesia. The process will begin with the application of defatting solvent (alcohol or acetone) being wiped over the area to be treated. The peeling solution will then be applied for the appropriate duration and then halted by the application of neutralizing solution. Bandages will be applied to the treated area.
