This document summarizes different skin treatment procedures including electrofulguration, electrodesiccation, electrocoagulation, and electrosection which use heat generation to damage tissue at varying depths depending on power settings. It also discusses chemical peels, specifically alpha hydroxy acid peels, which use chemical solutions to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin by causing dead skin cells to slough off and peel. Alpha hydroxy acid peels provide gentle exfoliation and skin rejuvenation results like reducing uneven pigmentation and improving the look of fine lines.

1. • Heat generation occurs within the
tissue,while the treatment is happening.
• This includes method –
• Electro Fulguration
• Electro Desiccation
• Electro coagulation
• Electro section

2. Electrodesication
• Low power setting
• Most damage is epidermal
• Minimal risk of scarring
• Higher power settings
• Increasing dermal coagulation
• Superficial scarring
• Hypopigmentation

4. Electrofulguration
• variation of electrodesiccationin
• Electrode is held 1-2 mm from the skin
surface
• Causes tissue dehydration by sparks
• lesions treated by electrofulguration
usually heal rapidly with minimal scarring

5. • Electrocoagulation
• Use low voltage moderately damped
• Or partially rectified high amperage current
in a biterminal fashion to cause deeper
tissue destruction and hemostasis with
minimal carbonization
• High amperage causes deep tissue
destruction and hemostasis

6. Electrosection
• Electrosection uses undamped or slightly
damped,low voltage, high-amperage current
in a biterminal fashion to vaporize tissue
with minimal peripheral heat damage.
• Undamped current yields cutting without
coagulation whereas slightly damped
current provides some coagulation

7. CHEMICAL PEEL
• A chemical peel is a body treatment technique used to
improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using
a chemical solution that causes the dead skin
to slough off and eventually peel off. The regenerated
skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old
skin. Thus the term chemical peel is derived. Some
types of chemical peels can be purchased and
administered without a medical license, however
people are advised to seek professional help from
a dermatologist, esthetician, plastic surgeon,

9. ADVANCE CHEMICALS PEELS
Alpha hydroxy acid peels
• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are naturally
occurring carboxylic acids such as glycolic acid, a natural
constituent of sugar cane juice and lactic acid, found in sour
milk and tomato juice. This is the mildest of the peel
formulas and produces light peels for treatment of fine
wrinkles, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne.
Alpha hydroxy acids can also be mixed with a facial wash or
cream in lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care
regimen to improve the skin's texture.
• AHA peels may cause stinging, skin redness, mild skin
irritation, and dryness. You will notice immediate results.

10. BENEFITS
• AHA Peels provide gentle exfoliation and
skin rejuvenation results that retexture ,smooth
and brighten the skin.Rough or dry patches
can be resurfaced.uneven pigmentation spots
can be reduced and the look of fine lines
and wrinkles can be improved as cell
turnover is increased and damage skin cell
are shed
