Chemical Peel
Renew your skin deeply.
Chemical peeling is an advanced and highly effective treatment, indicated for men and women who wish to improve the texture, luminosity, and uniformity of facial skin.
It is the ideal solution for those looking to reduce blemishes, acne scars, fine wrinkles, and improve skin texture and appearance.
What is it?
Chemical peeling is a dermocosmetic procedure that involves applying a controlled acidic solution to the skin. This solution exfoliates the outermost layers of the epidermis, removing dead cells and stimulating cell renewal and collagen production. Depending on the depth and type of acid used, the peel can be superficial, medium, or deep.
It uses different types of acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic (TCA) or lactic acid, which are chosen according to the treatment objective and the patient's skin type, ensuring a personalized and safe result.

Treatment
Chemical peeling involves the controlled application of an acidic solution to the skin, which works by removing damaged surface layers and stimulating cell regeneration.
Skin assessment
Before starting treatment, a detailed skin assessment is performed, considering phototype, the presence of blemishes, wrinkles, acne, or other skin alterations. This analysis allows us to define the ideal protocol and select the most suitable type and concentration of acid to achieve the best results safely.
Superficial Peeling
Superficial chemical peels act on the outermost layers of the skin, promoting cell renewal, evening out skin tone, and improving texture. They are especially indicated for treating mild blemishes, active acne, and fine lines, with a quick recovery time and visible effects from the first few sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a chemical peel safe for all skin types?
Yes, chemical peels are a safe treatment when performed by a qualified professional. However, safety and effectiveness vary depending on skin type, the condition being treated, and the type of acid used. A prior assessment is essential to determine the most appropriate and safe treatment for each patient, ensuring optimal results and minimizing risks.
Are the results of a chemical peel immediate?
The results of a chemical peel are not entirely immediate, as the skin needs time to exfoliate and regenerate. Generally, the first signs of improvement in texture and luminosity are visible after the peeling phase, which can last from a few days to a week, depending on the depth of the peel. The final result, with more even and renewed skin, becomes more evident in the following weeks.
Is chemical peel treatment painful?
Chemical peels may cause a burning, tingling, or stinging sensation during application, but are generally not considered painful. The intensity of the sensation varies depending on the type and depth of the peel, as well as individual skin sensitivity. For deeper peels, a topical anesthetic may be used for greater patient comfort.
How many chemical peel sessions are needed to see results?
The number of chemical peel sessions varies depending on the treatment goal, the type of peel (superficial, medium, or deep), and the individual skin response. The esthetician will determine the ideal protocol during the initial assessment.
