Chemical Peel

Chemical peel is a dermatological procedure that uses chemical substances to promote skin cell renewal, removing damaged layers and revealing younger, renewed skin.

Chemical peels are effective in treating various skin concerns, such as acne, acne scars, spots, enlarged pores, wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven texture, though each of these needs is addressed with a specific type of peel.

Chemical peels are classified according to how deeply they act on the skin, which also determines recovery time: the superficial peel acts on the outermost layer (epidermis), with quick recovery, and is indicated for lightening superficial spots and softening fine lines; the medium peel acts on the papillary dermis, requires a bit more recovery time (about 7 to 14 days), and is indicated for superficial acne scars and more resistant spots; and the deep peel acts on the reticular dermis, offering more intense results, but with a longer recovery period.

Different acids are used, alone or combined, depending on the goal — such as salicylic, lactic, glycolic, mandelic, and retinoic acid, among others. The choice of acid and depth is made during the personalized consultation, taking into account your skin type and main concern: spots, active acne, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, or uneven texture.

It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with active herpes lesions, bacterial or fungal infections, active facial dermatitis, use of photosensitizing medications, or allergy to any component of the formula. A prior personalized consultation is essential to define the safest and most effective peel for your case.
