Facial peeling is a method that removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, making it look younger and healthier. This method visibly enhances the tone and texture of the skin.

Why is it important to stimulate the removal of dead cells?


The skin always produces younger cells that take the place of the old ones. With age, cells regenerate harder and don’t have the same strength of their youth, so the dead ones are unsearched to the surface of the skin. This process determines the loaded skin appearance and roughness of the skin.

What are the benefits of facial peeling?

First of all, facial peeling stimulates the cellular renewal of the face. Following the process, the new cells give a young look to the skin. Therefore, the skin looks radiant and is much smoother at the touch.

This process facilitates the metabolism of the skin, helping new cells take the place of the old ones much easier. In this way, it’s kept away the premature aging of the skin. Face peeling reduces skin wrinkles and stimulates collagen production. Over time, facial peeling helps freckles, scars left behind by acne, and sunspot stains. That’s why this skin care process has become known as a rejuvenation of the face. Another advantage is that it revitalizes tired skin, and increases its elasticity. These effects are immediately visible, and the results are safe.

Types of facial peeling

Depending on its action, facial peeling is of several ways: mechanical, chemical and laser.

Mechanical peeling can also be done at home with special products bought from the store or you can opt for natural homemade masks. This type of peeling easily exfoliates the skin and is performed with a gentle massage.

Chemical peeling takes place at the salon and consists of applying a chemical on the skin that acts in depth. Substances are recommended by specialized staff, depending on the type of skin, age, and issues you have.

The chemical peeling is also of several types, depending on the degree of depth in which it acts on the skin.

Superficially Peeling – is less aggressive with skin, reduces spots, fine wrinkles, scars caused by acne and reduces dilated pores. The treatment is simple and takes only 10 to 15 minutes for the face. It is usually recommended for people under the age of 40.

Medium or intermediate Peeling – this facial peel penetrates skin layers more than the superficial one. It’s indicated for people who have medium wrinkles, acne, and spots caused by exposure to the sun. The procedure lasts for about 15 to 60 minutes for the face and doesn’t pose a risk of serious burns. Effects can be seen better after 2-3 weeks after the skin layers destroyed fall completely, and redness and irritations disappear.

Deep peeling – treats wrinkles and deep injuries and is only recommended for the face. This type of treatment usually involves people over 40 years of age. The treatment takes about 1-2 hours if it acts on all the skin at a session.

Laser peeling is performed under local anesthesia, as it is a painful method. This ensures the exact depth control in the skin layers, which can’t be specified for the other types of peeling. Light beams stimulate cellular regeneration and treat vascular lesions.

Facial peeling and side effects

Depending on the type of facial peeling you are taking, certain side effects may occur allergic reactions to solutions used, itching, color changes, infections, sensitive skin. Risks are higher for average and deep peeling, but if you follow the instructions given by the dermatologist, there won’t be big problems. Regardless of the type of peeling you choose, you should know that they all have the same benefits: it helps to regenerate the skin and visibly rejuvenate the appearance of your complexion.
