Chemical Peel Compensation Claims

If you or someone you know has suffered skin damage or injury due to chemical peel treatments, personal injury lawyers P R Scully can help you with chemical peel compensation claims.

Whether it is due to a desire to look younger or to correct sun-damaged or scarred skin, the number of people having chemical peels has rapidly risen in recent years.

Any cosmetic treatment carries a potential risk, and chemical peel claims are becoming more common too.

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment that involve applying a chemical solution to the surface of your face or part of the face.

Also known as skin peels, chemical peels are non-surgical treatments used to improve and smooth the texture of facial skin.

They use a chemical solution that causes the dead skin cells on your face to peel off, imporving appearance.

The regenerated skin is usually smoother and tighter looking in appearance than the old skin following a chemical peel.

While chemical skin peels are generally safe when performed by a qualified professional, there are some risks and potential complications.

What Happens in a Face Peel Procedure?

Chemical peels are broadly defined by the depth of damage in the skin’s epidermis that they produce. They are categorised as superficial peels, medium peels, and deep peels.

Superficial peels do not usually require anaesthetic. Clients are expected to feel a burning sensation when the solution is applied to the top layer of the skin. Dead cells are removed by the peel, and following the treatment new skin cells are produced, leading to fresher-looking, glowing skin.

Deeper peels are used for the deeper layers of skin, to treat issues like acne scars, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. They often require extensive local anaesthetic and sometimes a general anaesthetic. The peeling process begins with the application of an acetone or alcohol which is wiped over the area to be treated. The peeling solution is then applied for the appropriate time period and then halted by the application of a neutralizing solution. Bandages are then applied to the treated area and the customer is sent home with after care advice to help the recovery process.

Clients will normally sign a consent form which outlines the risks involved, and a patch test may be required to check for allergic reactions.

Chemical Peel Gone Wrong

A chemical peel gone wrong usually results in a number of issues.

Side effects of chemical face peels usually depend upon the depth of the peel.

They can include chemical peel burns, facial scarring, and even a psychological reaction to injuries. Here are some of the things that can go wrong.

• Burns and blistering: Chemical skin peels involve the use of acids that can potentially cause burns or blisters if not applied correctly. This is entirely different to the slight burning sensation and redness effects that you may feel when the chemical agent is applied.
• Hyperpigmentation: In some cases, a chemical peel can cause hyperpigmentation, which is a darkening of the skin. This can happen if the peel is too strong or if the client has a history of hyperpigmentation.
• Hypopigmentation: Hypopigmentation is the opposite of hyperpigmentation, and involves a lightening of the skin. This can happen if the peel is too strong or if the client has a history of hypopigmentation.
• Infection: Chemical peels can potentially cause infection symptoms if the skin is not properly prepared or if the client does not follow aftercare instructions.
• Scarring: In rare cases, chemical peels can cause scarring for a patient if the skin is not properly cared for after the procedure. Such scars among patients usually relate more to deep chemical peels than superficial peels.

Negligence in a Chemical Peel Compensation Claim

Permanent skin discolouration and permanent scarring are two of the most severe types of skin damage from poorly administered chemical peel procedures. Along with infection, they’re both more likely to occur as a result of a deep peel gone wrong.

It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced professional to perform a chemical skin peel and to follow all aftercare instructions carefully to reduce the risk of complications.

Clients should also inform their practitioner of any medical conditions or medications they are taking, as this may affect their suitability for the procedure.

If you have had complications after a skin peel that may put the company or practitioner at fault for negligence then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
