What is a facial treatment with peeling?

The facial peel treatment is a technique that enables the regeneration of epidermal cells. Which should you choose: an aesthetic peel performed by a dermatologist or a peel done at home with an exfoliating product? Even though both are called peels, the two methods are radically different in their effects.

Through an aesthetic medical technique, the peel removes the upper layers of the epidermis, deeply, which helps reduce dark spots and smooth wrinkles. Manual peeling, also known as exfoliation, gives the skin a radiant complexion thanks to abrasion with a treatment containing microbeads.

Skin renewal and regeneration

Well known for its effectiveness, the peel should be performed by a dermatologist. Thanks to acid (usually glycolic acid), the skin undergoes a kind of shedding: the peel removes the upper layers of the epidermis in about fifteen minutes.

Who is the peel for? It is intended for people with acne or mature skin with visible wrinkles.

What are the side effects? After this type of treatment, the skin is red and peels when leaving the medical office.

What are the results? Once the side effects have passed, the complexion is radiant and the epidermis visibly regenerated.

How can you maintain the benefits of the peel and the skin’s radiance? It is recommended to apply a cream containing fruit acids.

A brighter complexion and refined skin texture

While a peel can be an interesting option for skin cell renewal, it is possible to choose less radical solutions that can be done more regularly. Exfoliation should be done frequently to rid the skin of impurities, using circular motions.

Dry skin should use this type of treatment more often than oily skin. Combination to oily skin should not overstimulate their sebaceous glands: a weekly exfoliation is sufficient for healthy skin tissue.
