Stimulates cell regeneration by removing and exfoliating dead cells of the stratum corneum causing a real acceleration of cell renewal that is already naturally.Remove the damaged skin cells and degenerate, which are replaced by normal epidermal cells.Produces inflammation that activates the production of collagen and elastin



According to the classification of Rubin chemical peels are divided into:

  • very shallow (thinning or removal of the stratum corneum)
  • surface (necrosis of part or all of the epidermis to the basal layer)
  • average (necrosis of the epidermis and part or all of the papillary dermis)
  • deep (necrosis of the epidermis to the reticular dermis)


The depth of the peeling depends on different factors:


  • The substance used
  • The concentration of the substance used
  • The number of passes with the chosen substance on the area of ​​skin

This more rapid re-epithelialization decreases the risk of infection and complications. The use of cosmetics containing glycolic acid assures the same way a faster healing of the skin, reducing the incidence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Even the use of depigmenting substances (hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid) may be advisable to prevent and reduce the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
