At our clinic we provide you with a wide range of chemical peels to improve the quality of the skin and correct imperfections such as wrinkles, blemishes, acne, redness and loss of elasticity and skin firmness.
It is a non-surgical and non-invasive dermatological treatment in which certain types of acids are used on the skin to accelerate or promote its natural cell rejuvenation process. Although they can be performed anywhere in the body, the most common chemical peels are facial chemical peels.
There are 4 types of chemical peels: very superficial, superficial, medium and deep.
Very superficial peels slightly exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, in order to even out the tone and give a more radiant appearance.
Superficial peels act slightly more deeply, stimulating the renewal of the epidermis.
Medium peels reach the epidermis in its entirety, producing significant peeling. They stimulate skin regeneration, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis.
Deep peels work on the deepest layers of the skin, resulting in a reorganisation of structural elements (collagen and elastin fibres). They are mainly indicated for scars caused by severe acne and mid-level ageing due to sun exposure.

FAQs
How will the patient's skin be immediately after a peel?
The skin will be tight, red and slightly inflamed. Depending on the depth of the peel, a certain peeling can also be observed. All these effects will disappear after a few hours.
Can anyone undergo a peel?
People with herpes, warts, open wounds, history of hypertrophic scars and keloids or who have undergone cryotherapy or surgery in the last month should not undergo a peel, for example, with glycolic acid, although each patient will always be assessed individually.
From what age can the skin be subjected to a peel?
For the application of this type of treatment, age is not so important, but the skin’s condition is, as in cases of young people who have problems with blemishes or acne, it can be the best solution.
Where can peels be applied?
Chemical peels can be applied to any area of the skin. They are usually applied on the face, neck and cleavage, but they can also be applied on the skin on the back of the hands, arms, forearms, back and thighs.
