Medical peel

Medical facial peel to renew the skin, remove blemishes and improve wrinkles through controlled exfoliation that stimulates skin regeneration.

What is a medical peel and what is it used for?

Medical peels are a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that involves applying controlled chemical substances to remove superficial layers of skin and stimulate its regeneration. This process accelerates cell renewal and improves skin quality, helping to treat blemishes, acne scars, fine lines, and signs of photoaging. In addition to improving skin texture and tone, it promotes the production of new cells, resulting in a brighter, more even, and rejuvenated complexion in areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, and backs of the hands.

Types of medical peels according to depth

Medium peel

A medium-depth peel is indicated for improving blemishes, fine lines, and superficial acne scars. It evens out skin tone and restores radiance to the face. It produces a slight initial redness that disappears within a few hours and gentle peeling that promotes the appearance of new skin.

Deep peel

Deep peels are used to treat more pronounced blemishes, deeper wrinkles, and visible signs of skin aging. They work more intensively, stimulating skin regeneration and particularly improving areas such as the lip contour and generalized blemishes.

Types of acids

Chemical peels use different types of acids, such as trichloroacetic, salicylic, azelaic, benzoyl peroxide, or kojic acid, selected according to skin type, sensitivity, and the condition being treated. Each substance acts at a different depth and through specific mechanisms, allowing for a personalized treatment.

How is a medical peeling treatment performed?

1

Medical consultation and skin diagnosis

The treatment begins with a complete medical assessment of the skin. The specialist analyzes the skin type, the depth of blemishes, wrinkles, or acne scars, and determines which type of peel is most suitable for achieving safe and effective results.
2

Skin preparation and cleansing

Before the procedure, a deep facial cleansing is performed to remove makeup, oil, or creams applied that day. This preparation allows the chemical agents to act evenly and in a controlled manner on the skin.
3

Sensitivity test on sensitive skin

In patients with a history of skin allergies or extremely sensitive skin, a patch test may be performed. A small amount of the product is applied to the forearm for 24 hours to check for any reactions.
4

Application of chemical agents

The doctor carefully applies the substances used in the peel, usually different types of acids such as trichloroacetic, salicylic, azelaic, or kojic acid. These products cause controlled exfoliation that removes superficial layers of the skin and stimulates its renewal.
5

Initial reaction and desquamation process

After treatment, mild redness usually appears for approximately 48 hours. This is followed by a gradual peeling of the skin, which removes dead cells and allows for the emergence of new, cleaner, and more even skin.
6

Aftercare and sun protection

After a chemical peel, it is essential to follow medical instructions. You should apply specific creams recommended by the specialist, avoid scratching the skin, and use high SPF sunscreen daily to prevent discoloration during the skin regeneration process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about medical peels

Medical facial peels improve blemishes, fine lines, acne scars, and signs of photoaging. Through controlled exfoliation, superficial layers of skin are removed, stimulating cell regeneration and resulting in brighter, more even-toned, and rejuvenated skin.

This treatment can be performed on people aged 20 and over who wish to improve the quality of their skin. It is especially recommended for patients with sunspots, acne scars, fine lines, or skin aged by prolonged sun exposure.

Although facial peels are the most common, they can also be applied to the neck, décolleté, or back of the hands. These areas often show signs of skin aging, such as age spots or loss of radiance, which improve with this treatment.

After treatment, initial redness may appear for about two days. This is followed by superficial peeling, which gives way to renewed skin. Full results are usually visible in approximately two weeks.

In many cases, a single session produces visible improvements. However, depending on skin type and the problem being treated, the specialist may recommend repeating the treatment two or three times a year to maintain the results.

It's important to use high SPF sunscreen every day of the year and reapply it frequently. You should also use the creams prescribed by your doctor, avoid scratching the skin during peeling, and follow medical instructions for a proper recovery.

This treatment is not indicated for open wounds, irritated skin, or sunburn. It should also not be used if surgery has recently been performed in the area or if certain skin treatments have not been administered without adequate recovery time. It is also contraindicated if there is any underlying medical condition or sensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Chemical peels rarely cause significant discomfort, although a slight stinging or temporary irritation may occur. Excessive treatments or those performed without medical supervision could lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin, so they should always be carried out under professional supervision.
