Chemical peels and skin resurfacing treatments have become popular options for individuals looking to achieve smoother, clearer skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. These treatments, which involve removing layers of skin to stimulate new growth, can be effective when performed correctly. However, they also come with significant risks, especially in unqualified hands or when safety standards are neglected.
The delicate nature of chemical peels and skin resurfacing means that even a minor misstep can lead to serious skin damage. Improper application, inadequate aftercare, or unsuitable products can cause burns, scarring, and pigmentation changes. If you have experienced harm due to a negligent skin resurfacing treatment, Ison Harrison Solicitors can help you seek justice and obtain compensation for your injuries.
Common Injuries from Chemical Peels and Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing treatments require careful application and professional expertise. When these standards aren’t met, patients can suffer painful and lasting damage. Here are some of the common injuries associated with botched chemical peels and skin resurfacing treatments:
- Burns: Incorrect chemical concentrations, extended exposure times, or improper application can cause burns, leading to redness, blisters, and, in severe cases, permanent skin damage.
- Hyperpigmentation: A common outcome of mishandled skin resurfacing is hyperpigmentation, where the skin darkens in patches due to damage. These dark spots can be challenging to treat and may require ongoing corrective care.
- Scarring: Deep chemical peels or overly aggressive treatments can cause scarring, leaving permanent marks that may impact a person’s appearance and self-confidence.
- Long-Term Skin Issues: Beyond immediate injuries, improper skin resurfacing can result in long-term skin sensitivity, texture changes, and issues such as dryness or frequent irritation that persist well after the initial treatment.
These injuries can be both physically painful and emotionally distressing, as they affect the visible, outermost layer of skin. Victims of cosmetic negligence in skin resurfacing often require expensive corrective treatments, which add to the emotional and financial strain of the injury.
