Chemical peel

A chemical peel is a medical method in which one or more AHA acids are applied to the skin. These acids destroy the individual layers of the skin, which leads to the renewal of skin cells, softening of wrinkles, smoothing of unevenness, removal of acne and unwanted pigmentation. The skin is healthier and smoother after the treatment.

Chemical peel is divided into three types according to concentration:

• superficial

After the treatment the skin is usually pinkish, and after a certain time small scales - dead cells - may separate from the surface. The skin tends to be drier for several days, so it needs to be thoroughly hydrated and protected from the sun with UV filters. It is also important to avoid radiant heat in the solarium or sauna.
