Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by removing aging epidermal cells. This treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which contains various acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or resorcinol. These acids are carefully selected based on the patient's specific needs and skin type.
The concentration and type of acid are chosen by a professional to match the treatment objectives and the skin's tolerance.
Once applied, the solution gently exfoliates the top layer of the skin, stimulating cell renewal. This process may cause slight peeling in the days following the treatment.
The results of a chemical peel depend on the number and frequency of sessions, as well as individual skin characteristics. Overall, this procedure can improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and give the skin a radiant appearance.

Immediate resumption of activities.
It is common to experience skin redness immediately after the treatment, which can last from a few hours to a few days, depending on individual skin sensitivity. Sometimes, the peel can also cause slight peeling in the days following the treatment, particularly noticeable around the third or fourth day, and this may persist for several days. Additionally, the skin may feel tight or dry, which is a normal reaction. To alleviate this sensation, the use of gentle moisturizers is recommended.
