The peel is an outpatient procedure.
The word peeling means "to peel" although exfoliation does not occur in all of them.
It consists of applying chemical substances on the skin to achieve the renewal of its layers, which favors its consistency, a uniform color and greater hydration.
Peels are used to treat fine, medium or deep wrinkles, acne (active, mild or moderate) and its sequelae, skin aging, flaccidity, oily and rough skin, skin spots and actinic keratoses, among others. .
Depending on the substance used, different levels of action will be produced and more or less deep defects will be corrected.
Peels can be superficial, medium or deep.
Superficial ones are performed more frequently and are used to treat fine wrinkles, acne sequelae, and to improve skin texture.
The medium peel is indicated for the correction of actinic keratoses, skin color changes, acne sequelae and deeper wrinkles.
Deep peeling is performed on very aged skin and with significant actinic keratoses. Requires sedation and hospital admission for a minimum of 3 to 4 days
