Chemical peeling is a treatment method that encourages skin renewal by exfoliating dead cells on the skin surface. In this process, various chemical solutions are applied to the skin surface and left for a certain period of time. Chemical peeling evens out skin tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves acne scars and sun spots.
Chemical peeling is divided into three categories: superficial, medium and deep peeling. Superficial peeling is done using mild acids and targets the upper layers of the skin. Medium-depth peeling is done using stronger acids and is effective down to the middle layers of the skin. Deep peeling is done using strong chemicals such as phenol and targets the deeper layers of the skin.
Chemical peeling can be applied in several sessions depending on the skin type and the problem being treated. There may be redness, peeling and sensitivity on the skin after the procedure, but these side effects usually pass in a short time. Chemical peeling makes the skin look younger, smoother and healthier.
