Peelings can erase imperfections of the skin through natural exfoliation of the epidermis and dermis.
The principle
An “abrasive” product, usually on the basis of fruit acids, is applied on the skin for a specific exposure time.
Depending on the desired effect, the peeling may be superficial (small wrinkles, skin radiance) or semi-profound (deeper imperfections). A large number of indications can be treated with peelings.

Acne scars
After years of acne, it is not uncommon for the face to show light scars that give the skin an irregular texture.
Pigmentation spots
They are due to exposure to the sun and UV rays in general. They are melanin deposits located in the thickness of the skin. Pregnancy masks (melasma) are also very common. This is a brown pigmentation of the face that sometimes occurs after pregnancy or after taking an oral contraceptive.

The ageing of the skin manifests itself by the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and the loss of firmness of the skin.
Prior preparation of the skin is necessary and specific local care will be applied on the treated skin for 1 to 2 weeks.
