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
La piel estará tirante, enrojecida y levemente inflamada. Dependiendo de la profundidad del peeling también se puede observar una cierta descamación. Todos estos efectos desaparecerán transcurridas unas horas.
Personas con herpes, verrugas, heridas abiertas, antecedentes de cicatrices hipertróficas y queloides o que se hayan sometido a crioterapia o cirugía en el último mes no deben someterse a un peeling, por ejemplo, con ácido glicólico, aunque siempre será el médico especialista quien valore individualmente cada paciente.
Para la aplicación de este tipo de tratamientos no es tan importante la edad, sino el estado de la piel, pues en casos de personas jóvenes con problemas de manchas o acné puede ser la mejor solución.
Los peelings químicos pueden aplicarse sobre cualquier área de la piel. Habitualmente se aplican sobre la cara, cuello y escote, pero también pueden aplicarse sobre la piel del dorso de manos, brazos, antebrazos, espalda y muslos.
