This aesthetic treatment uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and improve the skin by removing the superficial layers. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and more even, helping to reduce dark spots, scars, and wrinkles.
Procedure
The patient’s skin is evaluated to determine the most appropriate type of peeling according to individual needs.
A chemical solution is applied to exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin. The solution is left on for a specific period, depending on the depth of the peel and the patient’s skin type.
After the peel, the skin may be sensitive and may peel for several days. The use of sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure are strongly recommended while the skin recovers.
Benefits
Helps smooth and improve skin texture, making it appear more even.
Can reduce dark spots, acne scars, and other pigmentation issues; Promotes collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity
Types of Peels
Superficial Peel
Uses mild acids to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. Ideal for improving skin texture and tone.
Medium Peel
Penetrates deeper layers of the skin and is effective for treating fine wrinkles, pigmentation, and superficial scars.
Deep Peel
Uses stronger acids to treat severe skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, pronounced scars, and significant sun damage. This type of peel requires a longer recovery period.
faqs
Sensations during treatment vary depending on the type of peel. Superficial peels usually cause a mild burning or tingling sensation, while medium and deep peels may be more uncomfortable and sometimes require topical anesthesia or sedation.
The duration of a peeling session depends on the type of peel, but it generally lasts between 20 and 45 minutes.
Results from superficial peels are usually visible within a few days, once the peeling process is complete. Medium and deep peels may show more noticeable results within 1 to 2 weeks, once the skin has fully regenerated.
The duration of results varies depending on the type of peel and post-treatment care. Superficial peel results may last several weeks or months, while medium and deep peels can provide longer-lasting effects, especially with proper skincare maintenance.
Common side effects include redness, peeling, sensitivity, and skin dryness. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation, scarring, or infection may occur, particularly with deeper peels.
Before a peel, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure, waxing, and the use of irritating products (such as retinoids) for at least one week prior to treatment. Keeping the skin well hydrated and following your specialist’s specific instructions is also important.
After a peel, it is essential to protect the skin from sun exposure by using broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight for at least one week. It is also recommended to avoid makeup for the first 24–48 hours and follow a gentle skincare routine to maintain hydration.
While superficial peels are generally safe for most skin types, medium and deep peels require careful evaluation, especially in darker or more sensitive skin types, due to a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or irritation.
