Among chemical peels used in therapeutic cosmetology, retinoic peels rightfully occupy a special place due to their fundamentally different mechanism of action.
Increased synthesis of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and other glycosaminoglycans is clinically expressed in the lifting effect, smoothing wrinkles, improving skin turgor and tone.
Finally, it is possible not only to easily overcome the stratum corneum of the epidermis, but also to introduce retinoids into the connective tissue of scars (including stretch marks and post-acne), as well as restore normal collagenosis in pathologically altered tissues. The new drug is also highly effective when used on areas of the body with reduced tone and turgor - the inner surface of the shoulders and thighs, and a flaccid abdominal wall.

Many patients are confident that the procedure is simple. Anyone can use the substance themselves. During the session, the doctor assesses the condition of the skin and individually selects the intensity of the effect. Setting the parameters correctly on your own is difficult. Mistakes lead to complications.
How does peeling work?
The procedure is preceded by a mandatory preparatory stage, followed by a set of caring measures. Preparatory measures must begin 2-3 weeks in advance. If sessions are planned during the summer season, it is recommended to apply sunscreen.
The main goal of preparation is to reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum. This will allow retinoids and other beneficial components to penetrate deeper into the subcutaneous layers. Special creams from Martinex will help with this:
- cleansing foam based on natural nutrients;
- Prepeel Ligh cream with disinfecting and anti-inflammatory components.
Protocol:
- Cleansing your face from dirt and makeup residues with Cleanser Mousse. The mousse is applied to the skin and left for 20 minutes, then washed off with water.
- Disinfection with Prepeel Lotio lotion.
- Using a cotton swab or brush, the peeling is evenly distributed on the surface of the dermis and left for some time to dry. Application technique: from forehead to chin. Normally, the patient may feel a slight tingling sensation. Then the next layer is applied. Their number is selected individually, taking into account the skin type and the problems being solved. Drying time for the last layer is 3 minutes. Next, the entire composition is washed off with water. A neutralizer is not used in the procedure.
- Applying a moisturizer (cream or mask).
If a strong burning sensation occurs, use a neutralizer immediately.
