Peelings as a method of solving dermatological problems

Establishing the correct diagnosis and prescribing the main treatment

Logo

Chemical peels are a procedure well known and loved by both cosmetologists and clients. There is a simple explanation for this: low cost and simplicity of execution technique. Only one small detail can spoil the idyll: the procedure itself is not always successful.

Since peelings use potent substances, specialized deep knowledge and caution are necessary even for aesthetic actions, not to mention working with patients with dermatological pathologies. Chemical peeling is not a treatment for dermatological pathology, but only accompanies it, accelerating recovery and reducing the number of cosmetic defects. First of all, it is necessary to make a correct diagnosis, prescribe the main treatment, and assess the risks of complications of cosmetic procedures. And only then — the choice of the correct chemical agent for the procedure. If you do not follow these rules, then there is a high probability of complications, including an exacerbation of the underlying disease. There are cases when treatment with certain drugs is incompatible with peeling.

Algorithm for prescribing a chemical peel

Making a dermatological diagnosis

If you are not a dermatologist, be sure to refer the patient to a specialized specialist. Let's be honest right away: I don't really want to send my client to another specialist. An internal limitation for such a solution is the natural desire in business to earn money on their own. But one has only to consider the background of such a decision, so that everything falls into place.

Recall that chemical peeling is not a treatment, and dermatological problems can often have deep medical problems. Only a professional dermatologist can correctly and accurately detect the presence of a serious medical problem, diagnose it and determine contraindications. Starting peeling without such an assessment means unreasonably exposing yourself to moral, financial and legal responsibility. Unnecessary risks are not at all what will help in the task of being a successful beautician.
