Chemical peels
Chemical peels, also known as acid peels or acid peels, are a great way to improve the condition of the skin, regardless of age and skin type. Depending on the preparation used, the treatment may have a cleansing, rejuvenating, anti-acne, regenerating, brightening, reducing discoloration, anti-wrinkle or normalizing effect. Using chemical peels, you can remove individual layers of the epidermis and regulate the depth of exfoliation.
Acids are very popular among patients of aesthetic medicine clinics, because this method of exfoliating the epidermis gives extremely fast and spectacular results. Chemical peels eliminate discolorations, reduce scars and wrinkles. They are ideal for grey, tired and impure skin, because they thoroughly and quickly cleanse it, restoring its radiance and youthful appearance.

Peels loosen the connections between skin cells, thanks to which its outer layers are exfoliated. Depending on the type, concentration and pH of the preparation used, we obtain different potency. Chemical peels are divided into:
- surface peels that act only on the epidermis,
- medium-deep peels that reach the upper layers of the dermis
