Word "peeling" comes from English and means “peeling off”.
utilizes chemical properties of slight acids to peel off the most upper layer of skin. Fruit acids are applied on the skin (AHA - alfa hydroxy acid, extracted mostly from sugar cane), which penetrates into the skin to required depth. After the treatment, the skin and cutis regenerate, the skin is smother and better quality. It is a result of faster regeneration of dermal cells, improvement of quality of elastic fibres and better skin hydration (binding capacity is improved) production of sebum is reduced as well as follicular keratinisation. Antioxidation effect is an indispensable result of chemical peeling, too.
Autumn and winter are the best seasons for chemical peeling – it is the time when the skin is not exposed to intensive solar radiation. Chemical peeling might be preceded by so called “home preparation”. Creams with the content of fruit acids in lower concentrations than that used for chemical peeling are applied on the skin. Such preparation boosts the effect of chemical peeling. Sun-creams with UV filter must be used after the treatment as there is danger of increased pigmentation.
The skin is slightly erythematous immediately after the treatment, it peels off slightly, small or coalescent crusts might appear that peel off within a couple of days.
The skin is cleaned and degreased with special solution immediately before chemical peeling. Afterwards, diluted acid is applied on the face with a fine brush. It is removed with a special neutralisation solution after 2 to 7 minutes. Slight acridness and tingling can be felt during the treatment. Application of cold compress after the treatment soothes the skin and minimizes unpleasant feelings after the treatment. .
