Acid Peeling

Non-invasive treatment that helps to noticeably improve the appearance of the skin from the first session.

What is an Acid Peel?

It is a treatment that allows us to renew the most superficial layers of the skin by causing a controlled burn in order to achieve a deep exfoliation of the face and neck and thus correct various skin defects such as spots, shallow wrinkles, acne marks...

This non-invasive treatment helps to noticeably improve the appearance of the skin from the first session. Different acids are used depending on the skin and the problem to be treated.

What is post-treatment like?

You can resume your normal activities immediately, but always bear in mind that the skin will be erythematous (slightly red) and after a couple of hours it will disappear. As the days go by, the facial skin will peel off.

After the peel, the patient leaves the centre with moisturised skin and sun protection. It may be ideal to bring a decongestive product for the home because the skin may feel hot or red (depending on the strength of the acid used). A decongestive gel can provide relief.

Another recommendation is to continue moisturising the skin over and over again when you return home; and by no means pull the "very tempting" bits of dead skin that form as the days go by because we can create a blemish.

Are there any adverse effects or complications?

It is important to bear in mind that if you are approaching a social event such as a party, it is important not to peel approximately 10 days beforehand as the skin will be flaking (depending on the type of acid used).

Pregnant women should not use acid peels.

Some acids have contraindications, such as salicylic acid, which is contraindicated in people allergic to aspirin, or glycolic acid, which should not be used on dark skin.

Patients taking medication to combat acne should wait 6 months before peeling.
