What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure, during which the deep or middle layer of the skin is affected by different types of chemical substances (mainly organic acids).
As a result of the procedure, dead skin cells are evenly exfoliated - peeling promotes the skin regeneration process.
The result of chemical peeling is:
- Wrinkles and mimic lines are reduced;
- Acne scars become discolored;
- Designed to improve uneven skin tone;
- Different types of defects on the skin are corrected.
As a rule, the procedure is performed on the face, neck and hands.
Chemical peeling reduces or improves:
- Lines around the mouth and eyes, as well as wrinkles (caused by the sun or age);
- Some types of acne;
- Light scars;
- Sun, age or liver spots;
- Freckles;
- Melasma;
- Actinic keratosis and others.

- Pathological skin scars in the anamnesis;
- There are many colors on the scars;
- Skin disease in history;
- You are taking a medication that may increase your skin sensitivity (a side effect of the medication);
