Chemical Peel

Chemical peeling is an application performed in the hospital environment with the acid solution chosen by the doctor according to the skin structure of the patient. Chemical peels are applied to the face, neck, chest, hands and arms.

Chemical peeling is done in 3 different ways as light, medium and deep.

Light peeling; is applied to the upper part of the skin. At first, there is a slight burning, redness and stinging on the skin, but then the skin recovers. It helps to remove fine wrinkles, acne and discoloration.

Medium peeling, It is done by a professional by peeling the middle part of the skin called the dermis. First of all, the reddened skin starts to crust and peel off, and then a more lively skin appearance is obtained.

Deep peeling, This type of peeling, which should be done by a specialist and is considered an aesthetic procedure, is performed for the removal of deep acne scars, skin blemishes and superficial wrinkles. Recovery time takes longer than others.
