In aesthetic medicine, chemical peeling is considered a treatment by which it is possible to rejuvenate the skin and thus promote skin renewal. This is made possible thanks to the use of a chemical substance that, once applied to the skin to be treated, acts as a real exfoliant , favouring the removal of the most superficial and dead skin layers. The word peeling derivesfrom the English word 'to peel', which means 'to peel' and thus implies precisely the action performed by certain chemical substances that enable exfoliation, taking away dead cells from the skin.

chemical peeling basically consists of applying exfoliating chemical agents to the skin to accelerate cell renewal, stimulating exfoliation and the speed of regeneration. It is a treatment that, performed by expert hands, results in glowing skin and an improvement in the quality and texture of the skin. The solution applied to the skincontains one or more chemical agents that areapplied to the skin and held for a period of time, thus leading to the detachment of dead cells with an increase in cell turnover and related exfoliation, a reduction in the activity of the sebaceous glands and the stimulation of fibroplasts to produce glycoproteins and collagen.

Chemical peeling is a perfect treatment for those wishing to reduce skin irregularities such as superficial wrinkles, acne scars, blemishes of various origins and active acne. it is also perfect for restoring radiance and smoothness to skin challenged by stress, pollution and ageing.

Chemical peeling can be used to treat the face, neck and décolleté. The treatment lasts only a few minutes and takes place at the doctor's office. At the end of the treatment the skin will be slightly reddened and in the following days a progressive exfoliation of the surface layer will be noticed. The result is appreciable after 2-4 applications, depending on the thickness and quality of the skin.

The skin immediately appears younger, brighter and smoother. After several sessions, the benefits are numerous: superficial wrinkles are reduced, skin blemishes fade.

The treatment cannot be carried out in late spring or summer, and indeed, even during winter it is necessary to protect the skin from the sun's rays with an appropriate protection factor for several weeks in order to protect the skin and enhance the effects of the treatment.
