Chemical Peeling
Chemical peeling is a procedure that involves applying solutions of various acids with the goal of removing the damaged layer of skin and renewing the surface with new, healthier tissue.
This treatment is performed by a trained doctor, who adjusts the type of peel to the specific skin type and individual needs of the patient.
The treatment begins with a superficial cleansing of the skin, after which an acid solution is applied. During the procedure, patients usually feel a mild tingling sensation on the skin. The treatment itself lasts up to 15 minutes, including preparatory steps. After the chemical peel, the skin becomes smooth to the touch, and the complexion looks fresher and more even.
Chemical Peeling – Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid, which belongs to the group of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), is ideal for skin rejuvenation. This acid reduces rough skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, evens out the complexion, and diminishes imperfections. Depending on your skin type, the doctor selects one of four different concentrations of glycolic acid. This treatment does not cause peeling and requires no recovery time, which makes it a very popular choice.
Chemical Peeling – Retinol Acid
Retinol acid is an innovative superficial peel containing 3% retinol. This treatment is designed to address various problems, including skin aging and photo-damage, acne, and melasma. The chemical peel is applied in the clinic and left on the skin; the patient rinses it off with water after 8-10 hours. Exfoliation is expected to start 2 to 3 days later and lasts for 2 to 4 days.
Chemical Peeling – TCA
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a type of chemical peel that has proven very effective in achieving elastic, radiant, and firm skin. This treatment enables deep cleansing of the skin, removes excess sebum and dead cells, clears clogged pores, and eliminates bacteria. In this way, the skin becomes youthful and healthy. TCA peeling is used to treat hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine wrinkles, as well as uneven and rough skin texture on the face.
Recovery after this treatment takes approximately 7 days. During this period, the skin gradually darkens, peels, and flakes, resulting in the appearance of new, regenerated skin.
