Glycolic acid peeling is a medical procedure that requires the informed consent of the patient. The medical doctor must obtain from the patient a well-standardized formal consent that shows that all information about the medical procedure performed was explained to the patient. We include below the formal consent form submitted to the patient before the glycolic acid peeling procedure. [Pg.20]

In 2002, Grimes reported the efficacy of combination salicylic acid/TCA 10% peeling [1]. She treated patients with moderate to severe melasma with this combination regimen. In the series, nine patients were classified as Fitzpatrick skin type IV, eleven were skin type V, and seven were skin type VI. Many of the subjects included in the study had not responded to salicylic acid or glycolic acid peels. The concentration of salicylic acid was 20 and 30%, and the TCA concentration was 10%. A series of four peels was performed at 2-week intervals. Thirty percent of the patients experienced moderate improve-... [Pg.103]

The safety and efficacy of a series of glycolic acid facial peels were investigated in 25 Indian women with melasma [16]. Patients were treated with 50% glycolic acid peels monthly for 3 months. Improvement was noted in 91% of patients with maximal clearing occurring in patients classified with epidermal melasma. Side effects were observed in one patient who developed brow hyperpigmentation.

The author has observed enhanced improvement of oily skin, enlarged pores, and acne vulgaris with the use of salicylic acid peels compared with glycolic acid peels. Possible mechanisms for this observation include salicylic acid s effect on lipid solubility and microcome-odone formation. [Pg.144]

Tretinoin 1% has also been used as a chemical peeling agent [22,23]. The efficacy of tretinoin peels was compared with glycolic acid peels in the treatment of melasma in dark skinned patients [23]. In a split face study of ten Indian women, 1% tretinoin was applied to one half of the face, while 70% glycolic acid was applied to the opposite side. Peels were performed weekly. Significant improvement occurred on both sides as assessed by photographs and a Modi-... [Pg.144]
