What is a chemical facial peel?
The cells of the outer layer of skin (epidermis) are able to renew themselves; in youth, no additional external efforts are usually required for this. But with age, renewal processes slow down and require stimulation. In modern cosmetology, there is a highly effective and safe method that stimulates exfoliation and removal of the stratum corneum - exfoliation, or peelings.
Chemical peeling is a salon procedure aimed at intensive exfoliation of dead cells of the outer layer of skin using special substances - acids. In other words, chemical peeling removes dead cells, thereby stimulating the renewal processes of the epidermis and dermis.
In addition to various acids (glycolic, fruit, lactic, etc.), the compositions of chemical peels may also contain other highly effective components that have anti-inflammatory, whitening, nourishing and healing properties, so the peeling procedure is increasingly gaining popularity, becoming one of the most popular procedures in modern cosmetology.
Chemical peeling stimulates the body's protective functions, which leads to increased production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin - these substances are responsible for the structure of the skin, its youth and elasticity. The result of exfoliation is an improvement in skin tone, smoothing out unevenness, acne marks and fine wrinkles. In addition, peeling procedures also help fight pigmentation.
Depending on the degree and depth of exposure, there are several types of chemical peels.

Types of chemical facial peels
There are three main types, which are primarily determined by the depth of acid exposure: superficial, middle and deep.
Superficial chemical peeling
Superficial peeling is the mildest type, which is suitable for almost everyone. A special composition containing acid penetrates only into the upper layers of the epidermis; it has a gentle effect, dissolving dead skin particles without damaging or irritating the skin. The result is normalization of the sebaceous glands, narrowing of enlarged pores, drying out acne; the face gains radiance and an even tone.
Acids that are often used for superficial peeling are lactic, fruit, and less often - glycolic, carbonic.
Medium chemical peel
This is a more serious cleansing method: the acid penetrates deeper than the stratum corneum - into the middle layers of the skin located under the epidermis. The process of cell exfoliation affects not only the superficial, but also deeper layers. Medium peeling makes wrinkles, pigmentation, acne marks and scars less noticeable. The face becomes elastic, toned and fresh.
The acids most commonly used for medium peels are trichloroacetic (TCA), salicylic and retinol (vitamin A).
Deep chemical peeling
This is one of the most radical types of skin cleansing and renewal, carried out strictly in a hospital setting. Deep chemical peeling is controlled damage to the superficial and deep layers of the skin in order to exfoliate the epidermis and further intensive process of tissue regeneration (restoration). Used to eliminate scars, scars, as well as deep wrinkles and other signs of aging. The result after the procedure is completely renewed skin without signs of aging. However, do not forget that this type of peeling is nothing more than a deep chemical burn of the face; it involves a long, multi-month (up to 6 months) rehabilitation process. In modern cosmetology, deep chemical peeling is rarely used; preference is given to more gentle and safe methods.
When carrying out deep chemical peeling, compositions based on phenol (carbolic acid) are used.
Why you need to clean your skin regularly
The skin constantly needs renewal, that is, regeneration. The old cells of its upper layer are exfoliated and replaced with fresh ones. This is a natural process. But age, poor ecology and other factors can significantly slow it down. Then a layer of dead skin cells and dirt forms on the surface of the body, aging the skin and worsening its general condition.
The artificial removal of unnecessary particles - peeling - comes to the rescue.
Benefits of the procedure
If you do cleaning correctly, the effect can appear after the first time. Regular use of scrubs guarantees the most positive results. Despite the benefits of the procedure, it is recommended to scrape off aged cells no more than twice a week. As a result, the skin:
- softens;
- brightens;
- becomes more elastic;
- partially loses defects (acne, rashes, scars);
- looks younger.
There are problem areas that simply need such cleansing - heels, elbows and areas where cellulite appears. They require careful care and hydration.
In addition to home and salon treatments, there is another interesting way to get rid of dead epidermis - Garra Ruffa fish.
Live massager fish can clean any part of the body, but most often they are used to tidy up the arms or legs. Exposure to fish also helps relieve stress and reduce swelling in the limbs.
Peeling effect
Superficial chemical peeling tightens enlarged pores, eliminates dryness and acne. Thanks to the improved supply of oxygen and nutrients to cells, the condition of the skin improves, the face becomes more radiant and fresh.
Medium chemical peeling helps solve the problem of pigmentation and makes fine wrinkles and tubercles less noticeable. Complexion and relief are evened out.
The achieved effect of deep chemical peeling is very high. With its help, it is possible to get rid of significant wrinkles and sagging face; deep peeling also solves such a complex problem as removing scars and shallow scars. After a long recovery, the skin becomes tightened and more resistant to age-related changes.
To achieve maximum results, it is important to contact a specialist who will select the most suitable type of peeling for your skin type, based on its condition. Chemical peels at home are not recommended.

How does a cosmetologist peel?
Chemical peels, which are used in cosmetology, penetrate deeper into the skin, so they are an order of magnitude more effective than home peeling options. In addition, it is extremely important to carry out the procedure correctly to avoid unwanted consequences.
First stage
– This is preparing the skin for the procedure and cleansing it. Using special products, the skin is degreased, cleansed of impurities (cosmetics, dust) and skin secretions; For the desired result, high-quality facial cleansing and the formation of the acid-base balance of the skin are extremely important.
Second phase
– application of the composition. The sequence of application and duration of peeling is determined by a qualified cosmetologist depending on the composition of the drug and the condition of the patient’s skin.
Third stage
– neutralization of peeling. Modern formulations do not require special chemical neutralization. The client washes off the peeling independently after 6-8 hours at home.
Fourth stage
– post-peeling care. To consolidate the results and protect the skin, the cosmetologist applies special cosmetics and also gives recommendations for further facial skin care.
Questions and answers
Will chemical peeling harm sensitive skin? Before starting the procedure, the specialist must conduct a test of the selected drugs. If the skin reacts poorly, becomes very red, or itches, the cosmetologist suggests less aggressive formulations.
Is there a danger of damaging the deep layers of the dermis with hardware peeling? There is no such risk. The devices are carefully cleaned, removing thin layers of keratinized particles. Our salon technicians have sufficient experience and qualifications, so mistakes are excluded.
Recovery period
The duration of recovery after the procedure depends on the depth of acid exposure. So, after superficial peeling, recovery will take several days, after medium peeling – up to 14 days. Skin regeneration processes after deep peeling require more time - up to six months.
Regardless of the type of peeling and the duration of the recovery period, it is important to take care of your facial skin and follow your doctor’s recommendations. There are few restrictions during this period, but it is highly advisable to comply with them; first of all, it is to refrain from visiting the bathhouse, sauna and, of course, the solarium. Protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, even in winter, is also the main rule during the recovery period. It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and touch your face as little as possible.
In addition to generally accepted restrictions, there may be individual ones, which are prescribed by a cosmetologist. A professional specialist will also give recommendations on the use of skincare and decorative cosmetics during the recovery period after the procedure.
