Face Peeling
Peeling is a dermatological treatment based on the exfoliation of the most superficial layers of the skin to favor their replacement by others of better quality and texture.
This induces the creation of new layers of the dermis and epidermis. In other words, what a facial peeling does is to renew the skin cells of the face to eliminate possible impurities.
The treatment begins with a cleansing of the skin with a degreasing solution, then proceeds to the application of mild acids and special for use in skin, which induce the body to generate new layers of skin, after a few minutes, depending on the peeling, is removed and applied a neutralizing solution of acid, then apply moisturizer or soothing and anti-solar mask, according to the skin type of each person.
Types of facial peeling
Depending on the technique used, we can speak of:
- Mechanical peeling, which is performed using brushes, rollers or sandpaper with macroparticles such as crystals or stone, e.g. microdermabrasion.
- Physical peeling, which consists of the application of a physical agent in order to reduce the most superficial layer of the skin.
- Chemical peeling, this is the most common, especially superficial peels that can be repeated frequently, are gentle, generate little inflammation, and allow the patient to return to daily life immediately.
There are different types of chemical peels depending on the agent used and its concentration. The most common are peelings with glycolic, salicylic and ferulic acid. The choice of one or another substance is made in the assessment prior to the procedure.
