Retinoic acid treatment services are superficial and cause no pain.
At MetaDerm, we use retinoic acid, tazarotene & tazarotene for most of our patients. These retinoids are 50-200 times more powerful than your OTC retinol. Retinoids work by activating the RAR– receptors in the skin. Different types of retinoids have different binding sites.
Laser Assisted Retinoid Infusion (LARI) uses short pulse duration fractional CO2 laser on a small spot for skin rejuvenation. These lasers remove 25% of the skin’s upper layer which increases the absorption of topical retinoid. The procedure lays down more than 100,000 tiny columns on the skin surface– each a reservoir to hold retinoid molecules. LARI also eliminates pigmentation and promotes collagen production for skin rejuvenation.
The recovery time can be customised by adjusting the concentration to increase or decrease the absorption. Here is a general reference guide:
- Delayed peeling starts at 1.5 to 3 days after treatment
- Additional peeling for 1-2 days
- Redness - 24 to 36 hours of redness
- Skin Normalcy - Within 4.5 to 6.6 days
- An additional 36 to 48 hours of recovery time in the case of laser-assisted retinoid delivery
Retinoic acid peels are safe for all skin types, including Asian and ethnic skin, unlike the high-strength Glycolic or TCA peels.
Chemical peel treatment in Chennai is very affordable. Laser-assisted retinoic acid peels will cost a little more than other chemical peels.
Retinoic acid peels are not suitable for sensitive skin and skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis. Chemical peels are not recommended if your skin has significant sun exposure or if you are suffering from picking acne. Lasers are better suited for such skin conditions.
The results and benefits of retinoic acid for skin can last from a few weeks to months. Retinoic acid peels are maintenance peels and work best when used after skin rejuvenation procedures. You can extend the effects of retinoic acid in skincare routine by using prescribed products.
