Chemical Peeling is a procedure performed in the office with the goal of cellular renewal. It can be superficial, medium, or deep, such as the phenol peel. At Camila Loper Group, we perform only superficial and medium peels, a safe and effective alternative to treat blemishes, pores, active acne, acne scars, melasma, fine lines, and to rejuvenate the skin.
Chemical peeling involves the application of certain agents (substances) to the skin to promote its renewal. Some of the most common active ingredients include retinoic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, Jessner’s solution, and glycolic acid.
It may cause slight peeling, resulting in the emergence of healthier skin within 7 days. Patients as young as 13 years old can undergo peeling, with at least 3 sessions recommended to maintain skin quality.
Chemical peeling is an excellent option for:
- Skin renewal
- Improving skin texture
- Shrinking pores
- Lightening skin blemishes, such as melasma
- Reducing acne lesions, blackheads, and pimples
- Treating stretch marks
- Improving the appearance of acne scars
