Chemical peels (salicylic, mandelic, glycolic, citric, trichloroacetic, lactic acid, etc.) are a popular and safe treatment method for skin aging (roughness and wrinkles reduction).
They can also treat pigmentation disorders, seborrheic and actinic hyperkeratosis, and acne scars.
Their action is based on removing the skin's surface layers and stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen.
Combination peels can maximize effectiveness and improve patient satisfaction by tailoring the treatment to their needs.
In this treatment, a controlled injury is done to the skin by applying a chemical solution. The healing mechanisms are then activated; in this way, the texture and colors of the skin are improved, surface wrinkles are reduced, and the damaged outer layer of the face is removed.
As we age, dead skin cells are not removed as efficiently, giving the skin a dull appearance.
With chemical peelings, the complete rejuvenation of damaged skin is achieved to a large extent, giving the patient young and radiant skin.
The exfoliation begins 24-48 hours after the treatment application so the new skin can take its place. The duration of the peeling and its intensity depends on the type of chemical peeling that has been used.
