CHEMICAL PEELING
The skin is a real organ and consists of two tissues, the epidermis and the dermis.
The epidermis constitutes a barrier through which the skin can defend itself from external agents. At the level of the epidermis, we find melanocytes, the cells responsible for the synthesis of melanin (the substance that colours our skin).
It is made up of several layers which from depth to surface are:
- Basal layer
- Prickle cell layer
- Granule layer
- Horned layer
The dermis is the supporting structure of the skin, it is like saying that is represents the walls of a house, while the epidermis constitutes the roof. It is made up of collagen and elastic fibers but also of complexes of proteins and molecules called polysaccharides that give the fabric a lot of resistance. In the dermis we find the skin appendages (sebaceous, hair and sweat glands) and a rich vascularisation and innervation.
Two layers are recognized in the dermis:
?? Papillary dermis (more superficial)
?? Reticular dermis (deeper)
What does “Chemical Peeling” mean?
Chemical peeling is an accelerated and controlled skin exfoliation induced by one or more chemicals.
Depending on the substance used, its concentration and the time of application on the skin, we will have a partial or complete destruction of the epidermis and the more or less deep layers of the dermis.
Chemical peeling acts through three mechanisms of action:
- They stimulate the replacement of superficial cells, of the epidermis, completely removing the stratum corneum.
- They destroy damaged skin layers and replace them with healthier, younger and better-looking tissue.
- They stimulate the synthesis of collagen and therefore determine an increase in skin tone and elasticity.
For all these reasons, we can propose a therapy with chemical peels every time we aim to obtain skin rejuvenation by replacing aged tissues and renewing the epidermis and dermis.
I peeling possono essere classificati in molto superficiali (o soft) , superficiali, medi e profondi a seconda del grado di profondità raggiunto dall’agente chimico.
Peelings can be classified into very superficial (or soft), superficial, medium and deep depending on the degree of depth reached by the chemical agent.
For each patient it is important to make a precise diagnosis of the problem to be treated and finally, based on the indications and the patient’s phototype, the most correct therapeutic protocol can be prescribed.
When is it recommended to perform chemical peeling?
- Fine wrinkles
- Skin spots
- Acne
- Dilated pores
- Keratosis (thickened skin)
The final purpose, when choosing to undergo chemical peeling, is to obtain a younger and therefore smoother, brighter, toned, and elastic skin.
