About chemical peels

Chemical peeling is a treatment that uses chemicals such as glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells and epidermis.
The peeling of the stratum corneum improves the clogging of pores and promotes the regeneration of new skin.
This is a treatment that seeks to restore healthy and beautiful skin.
“Peeling off the skin” can be scary, but it does not cause any scary side effects such as pain or bleeding because it peels off the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin or part of the epidermis where blood vessels do not exist.

Skin turnover

Periodic rebirth of old cells on the surface of the skin is called turnover.
The skin consists of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis is the outermost thin part, consisting of the stratum corneum, the stratum granulosum, the stratum spinosum, and the stratum basale. It is said that it takes about 14 days for cells made in the basal layer to move to the surface of the skin, and about 14 days for the cells to keratinize and peel off on the surface.
In other words, in normal skin metabolism, new epidermal cells are replaced about every 28 days.
If the turnover is not successful and excess keratin is piled up, not only will the sebaceous glands become clogged and cause clogged pores and acne, but also the reaction of sunburn and stain pigments floating on the surface and peeling off will be slowed down. increase.
By making the turnover normal, acne can be prevented and sebum secretion can be normalized, and the process of healing spots and dullness can be performed smoothly.

Differences between chemical peels and other peels

Weak peels in salons and home care can give you a temporary slippery feel, but it is difficult to improve skin quality. This is because it is necessary to peel with a certain degree of strength in order to improve the skin quality.
However, forcibly strong peeling may cause damage to the skin surface and pigmentation. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has notified that chemical peels should be performed only at medical institutions as a medical practice.
In addition, the guideline states that “acts performed under the supervision of a dermatologist who has fully acquired dermatology medical skills or a doctor who has equivalent skills and knowledge”. We recommend that you receive treatment at a specialized medical institution.

Types of chemical peels

It is a treatment suitable for acne because it penetrates the skin well and has a high effect of exfoliating unwanted dead skin cells that cause acne.
There may be a tingling sensation.
It is recommended that the treatment cycle be repeated about once every 3 weeks.
When vitamin C ions are introduced into clean and clean skin, vitamin C’s collagen-producing, melanin-suppressing, sebum-controlling, and anti-aging effects promote calming of acne and whiten and beautify the skin. The effect will be further increased.

Since lactic acid itself has a whitening effect, it is also recommended as a treatment for age spots.
