WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEELING?
Chemical Peeling is a treatment that uses an acid solution to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. It is the most popular treatment, as it offers immediately visible results. Chemical Peeling aims to regenerate the skin by removing the surface layer of the skin. The treatment helps to improve wrinkles, photoaging, pigmentation disorders, flacciditing and thinning of the skin. Also, it is effective for blotches, spots, varicose veins, and elasticity. At the same time, the skin is stimulated and produces more collagen and elastin, thus restoring its radiance and firmness. In addition, Chemical Peeling is indicated for the improvement of scars, which have been created either due to some trauma, or due to acne or even surgical scars. Especially for acne scars, chemical peeling is one of the most important and effective treatments, greatly improving the appearance of the face. It also contributes to the reorganization of structural elements and the increase of cell volume. This is how a new, shiny and healthy skin is revealed. The purpose of this procedure is to make the skin produce new skin. At the same time, there is stimulation of the skin to produce more collagen and elastin.
HOW MANY CATEGORIES OF CHEMICAL PEELING DO WE HAVE?
The categories are as follows: superficial, medium depth and deep Peeling. The very light superficial Peeling reaches the stratum corneum while the light superficial Peeling extends to the entire epidermis and the papillary dermis. Medium-depth Peeling reaches the upper reticular dermis and deep peeling reaches the middle reticular dermis. This procedure is carried out using a chemical solution that is applied to the skin, exfoliating it and removing dead cells, revealing a new layer with an improved texture.
It is a personalized skin regeneration treatment determined by the needs and specific skin type of each patient. Which chemical solution will be needed in each case is decided by the respective doctor.
The most common areas where the treatment can be applied:
· Face
· Neck
· Decollete

Finally, it is allowed to wash the face with mild cleansing products and lukewarm water.
