WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
Chemical peel is a procedure conducted to remove the surface layer of the epidermis. Chemical peel cleanses pores, establishes seboregulation, improves skin texture and stimulates collagen synthesis in deeper layers of the skin. The purpose of chemical peels is to remove the layer of dead epidermal cells and allow the skin to regenerate. There are several types of chemical peels that are adapted to each skin type and condition. They are most often used to resolve the issues such as oily skin, acne, enlarged pores and blackheads, dehydrated skin, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, tiny wrinkles and devitalized skin..

HOW IS CHEMICAL PEEL PERFORMED?
The first step in performing a chemical peel is proper skin preparation. After the preparation, the appropriately selected chemical peel is accurately applied. The concentration and type of chemical peel is determined based on the skin type and condition. The skin reaction is constantly monitored from the application of chemical peel to its neutralization, and the expected reaction time is 5 to 10 minutes. A mild burning sensation is expected during the chemical peel, but it disappears after the neutralization. The procedure itself is painless, comfortable and short lasting. Mild redness appears in the treated region after the chemical peel, but it subsides quickly. Most chemical peels can be performed all year round with mandatory and adequate protection from the sun.
Chemical peels can be combined with other procedures, thus achieving faster, better and long-lasting results of all treatments.
