Chemical Peels – Depth of Peels

This cross-section of the skin shows the depth of peels.

The superficial peels only penetrate into the top layers of the epidermis.

The mid-depth peels penetrate into the upper dermal layer and the deep peels penetrate into the lower dermal layer of the skin.

We will be reviewing only esthetic peels in this class.

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS

AHAs are a group of structurally related organic acids found in natural sources or synthesized in the laboratory. They are used to promote desquamation (cellular exfoliation), stimulate cellularrenewal and improve the appearance of the skin.

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS

The most widely used alpha hydroxy acids are glycolic acid and lactic acid. Both acids can penetrate skin well and are backed up by numerous clinical studies regarding their effectiveness.

Efficacy varies by the % of the peel, pH and the Free Acid Range

These superficial peels:

• Diminishes corneocyte cohesion

• Enhances penetration of products

• Depending on Strength/pH of Glycolic -can stimulate collagen synthesis

• No known systemic toxicity

• No down time

AHA’s Diminish Corneocyte Cohesion

•• Penetrates by lipid phase of intercellular cementPenetrates by lipid phase of intercellular cement

HOW AHA’S WORK

Corneocytes are held together by ionic bonding forces of the cellular glue. AHAs disrupt this ionic bonding or ‘corneocyte cohesion’ by dissolving the lipid bonds between the cells at the lower levels of the stratum corneum. This causes the cells to “unglue” and shed. These type of peels do not actually cause the skin to visibly “peel”. Corneocyte cohesion refers to the intercellular cement or "glue-like" bonding between the cells.

AHAs penetrate by using the lipid phase of the intercellular cement as its pathway into the stratum corneum. It helps to visualize the intercellular cement as an emulsion, a mixture of water and oil. AHAsinterfere, or disorganize the lipid (oil) phase of the intercellular cement. As glycolic acid has the lowest molecular weight of all of the AHAS, it penetrates faster.

Measurement of Acidity or Alkalinity

pH SCALE

• Ranges from 0 to 14

• 0 to less than 7 = Acidic

pH SCALE

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 means it is a neutral solution. Pure water has a pH of 7. A pH of less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH of more than 7 means the solution is alkaline. The less pH, the more acidic the solution is. The more pH, the more alkaline the solution is.

The pH scale is logarithmic which means that moving one unit either way on the pH scale results in a 10 fold increase in the degree of alkalinity or acidity.

Each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than a pH of 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline than the next lower whole value. For example, a pH of 10 is ten times more alkaline than a pH of 9.

In regard to peels, the lower the pH number, the stronger, more intense is the peel. This is key in determining the efficacy of an AHA – the pH – more so than the percentage of acid.

NEUTRALIZING

Ingredients commonly used for neutralization:

May reduce amount of free acid in productMay reduce amount of free acid in product

NEUTRALIZING

Neutralization raises the pH of a product. Ingredients commonly used for neutralization include sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide.

Neutralizing reduces the amount of free acid in the product. Free acid refers to the amount of acid actually available.

•• May reduce amount of free acid in productMay reduce amount of free acid in product

•• Sodium Sodium GlycolateGlycolate

•• Monosodium PhosphateMonosodium Phosphate

Ingredients commonly used for buffering:

BUFFERING

Buffering creates a solution that resists pH changes when an acid or alkali is added. Ingredients commonly used for buffering include Sodium Glycolate, Phosphoric Acid and Monosodium Phosphate.

When buffering occurs, the pH of the acid can be maintained.

Just like neutralization, buffering reduces the amount of free acid in a product. The percentage of free acid, as expressed by pH, is an excellent indicator for efficacy and potential for irritation.

17


Free Acid refers to the Amount of Acid Actually Available in a Product

Example:Example:There is a container of acid and sodium hydroxide is added. Sodium hydroxide is used in AHAs to neutralize which raises the pH.

The sodium hydroxide attaches to the acid, binds up some of the acid.

It will raise the pH and lower the acid available.

Lower pH formulas have more bio-availability since more free acid is present.

A 35% Glycolic Acid that is neutralized could actually have 17% “free acid range”.

FREE ACID RANGE

Free Acid Range

Free Acid Range refers to the amount of acid actually available in a product.

For example, say you had a tank of acid and put sodium hydroxide in the tank. The sodium hydroxide attaches to the acid, it's going to bind up some of the acid. It will raise the pH and lower the acid available. Lower pH formulas have more bio-availability since more free acid is present.

A 35% Glycolic Acid that is neutralized could actually have

only 17% free acid range.

BENEFITS OF AHA USE

• Retexturizing: Removes build-up of dead skin cells that can cause an uneven appearance in texture. Stimulates cell renewal. Reveals smoother, fresh, younger-looking skin.

• Smoothes Lines: Thins the stratum corneum, evens the "hills & valleys" of the skin's surface. Thickens the dermis by increasing moisture in ‘gags’ – glycosaminoglycans.

• Improves Tone: AHAs thin the stratum corneum. The skin becomes more translucent. Enhances firmness by producing densely populated epidermal cells.

• Management of Acne-Prone Skin / Reduces Follicular Congestion: Removes surface dead skin cells and within the follicle, which helps prevent the follicle from becoming clogged. Reducing follicular debris and retention greatly reduces the development of new comedones. AHAs are effective in "opening up" the follicles because they interfere with corneocyte bonds that hold the dead cells together. With the follicles opened, other treatment products, such as Benzoyl Peroxide, can penetrate into the follicles to kill bacteria and interrupt the Retention Hyperkeratosis process.

• Fades Pigmentation: Reduces pigment buildup in the stratum corneum. Irregularities in pigmentation can fade or disappear.

Beta Hydroxy Acids work by speeding up the turnover of skin cells. They dissolve the glue that holds corneocytes or dead skin cells in the top layers, allowing the fresh cells beneath to emerge.

BHA’s smooth the skin and allow the normal shedding process to occur. The effects are less potent than those of the Alpha Hydroxy Acids.

Salicylic Acid is found naturally in willow bark, wintergreen leaves and sweet birch. It’s molecular weight is 138, larger than Glycolic and Salicylic Acid.

SALICYLIC ACID

Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from the bark of the willow tree. It works on the surface, dissolving the top layer of corneum cells and deep within the follicles.

As a lipophilic acid, salicylic effectively penetrates pores and helps dissolvecomedones. Because it encourages exfoliation and reduces pore size, pores are less likely to become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil.

Because of the larger size molecule, Salicylic Acid produces less irritation than AHAs. Salicylic Acid products work well on mild breakout –Grades 1 & II Acne. It also works well on all Fitzpatrick Skin Types including V and VI.
