What is a chemical peel?
An in-clinic chemical facial peel, or exfoliation, is a special procedure that works like a controlled burn to the skin to accelerate the correction of imperfections. In general, there are many effects from this technique:
- destruction and renewal of the epidermis;
- formation of young cells with a high percentage of moisturizing factor;
- smoothing the dermis, tightening it and increasing its uniformity.
Thanks to peeling in the clinic, the microrelief of the face becomes better, and the lifting effect is still noticeable. That is why the technique is relevant for girls and women of different ages - both those who suffer from acne and those who have encountered the first signs of aging.
It is important to discuss with your doctor the need for a peeling procedure, as well as find out its optimal type - then the effect will not be long in coming, and the risks will be minimized.
The specialist will be able to examine the skin and select the composition depending on the required concentration and the depth of its desired effect.
Are there any contraindications?
Mediderma retinol peeling is a universal procedure, as it is suitable for any age and any skin type. Here is a list of problems that can be dealt with:
- manifestations of photo and chronoaging;
- decreased production of substances responsible for the youth and elasticity of the skin (collagen, elastin);
- unhealthy, grayish complexion;
- hyperpigmentation, including age-related;
- hyperkeratosis;
- seborrhea;
- increased fat content, tendency to form sebaceous plugs, comedones, millia, acne and pimples;
- increased dryness of the skin due to impaired oxygen metabolism and nutrient supply;
- changes in the structure of the skin, uneven microrelief in the form of wrinkles, creases, jowls;
- some dermatological diseases - according to the indications of a dermatologist.
Interesting fact! It has been proven that under the influence of retinol the number of atypical cells in the skin is reduced. Therefore, retinoic peeling is a prevention of skin cancer.
But there are also a number of contraindications for the procedure. For the most part, they are standard for any chemical peel. We remember to avoid disastrous consequences instead of a blooming appearance:
- individual intolerance to retinol, its derivatives or other components of the composition used;
- eczema and some other dermatological ailments;
- weakened immunity, infections and viral pathologies;
- elevated body temperature, regardless of origin;
- skin photosensitivity;
- warts, papillomas in the affected area;
- violation of the integrity of the skin in the work area;
- fresh tan;
- history of liver disease;
- taking medications with vitamin A or retinol derivatives. At least six months must pass from the completion of such therapy;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding period.
It should also be noted that planning pregnancy is also a relative contraindication, since retinol has a toxic effect on the fetus. The procedure should not be performed one year before the planned conception.
Many women are interested in a comprehensive solution to the problems of fading or problematic appearance. In particular, the question arises: is it constructive to carry out salicylic peeling before performing yellow Mediderm?
We note that experts have different opinions on this matter. Some argue that this option will help improve the result. Others consider combining two chemical peels unnecessary.
However, it must be taken into account that there are various problems that require extraordinary solutions. If a woman has very pronounced hyperkeratosis, very oily skin with all the accompanying problems, then the cosmetologist may prescribe salicylic peeling to prepare the skin for the effects of retinol.
Cleansing with salicylic acid will help soften the rough upper layers of the epidermis, dry the skin a little, and relieve inflammation and irritation.
Retinol peeling should be carried out some time after salicylic peeling. The specialist will tell you what time interval should be maintained, based on the client’s individual indicators.
Peeling in the salon: how does the procedure work?
We perform both superficial and superficial-medium facial peeling in the clinic. The procedures differ according to different criteria - the area of influence, the concentration of the acid and the direction of its effect. For example:
- Superficial peeling. Azelaic, lactic, pyruvic, phytic, glycolic, salicylic, and retinoic acids are used. They are able to gently exfoliate the stratum corneum of the epidermis, and then whiten gray and dull skin, affecting new cells. The procedure can also reduce acne, improve water balance and smooth out pores.
- Superficial-medium. The procedure is carried out using lactic, salicylic and trichloroacetic acids. It is effective for eliminating superficial wrinkles and small scars that remain after healed acne, and can eliminate stretch marks and blemishes.
In most cases, such skin renewal allows you to refrain from introducing various drugs (biorevitalization or contouring) to smooth out wrinkles of varying depths, because a course of peelings is enough. We recommend from 5 to 7 procedures, one every two weeks, and experts will also tell you about proper home care - this will allow you to get an excellent result and maintain it for a long time
In general, acid peels will trigger a lot of useful processes:
- stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and the production of hyaluronic acid, as well as collagen and elastin;
- timely removal of dead epidermis, cleansing of pores, normalization of sebum secretion;
- have a pronounced antioxidant effect, protecting the skin from the effects of free radicals;
- influence the synthesis of melanin, reduce its intensity, which allows you to lighten your complexion and get rid of unwanted pigmentation.
In combination with the right skincare procedures, facial peeling (a beauty salon is already too much) is a great way to restore smoothness, elasticity and color saturation to the skin, and also say goodbye to acne.
Preparation
To achieve maximum results and reduce the risk of side effects, you need to properly prepare for the procedure using Mediderma peels.
To do this, 2-3 weeks in advance, you need to start cleansing the skin with a special mousse, which contains a small concentration of an acidic substance. Before going to bed, it is recommended to treat the skin with pre-peeling cream.
It is also important to apply sunscreen to your skin throughout the preparation period.
Superficial peels
In our clinic you can sign up for one of the listed procedures. Below you will be able to familiarize yourself with their description, effects, indications and features of implementation.
Milk peeling Ultraceuticals
At the moment, the professional compositions developed by Ultraceuticals have no analogues in cosmetology. Milk peeling is an excellent choice for people who have delicate and sensitive skin. Other benefits of the product:
- the composition contains lactate, which is normally found in the skin, so the drug is completely biocompatible;
- the acid acts very gently, so the procedure is easy, painless and well tolerated;
- Milk peeling has mild photosensitizing properties, so it can be done even in summer.
The procedure is carried out in four stages: cleansing + makeup removal, pre-peeling, applying an acid solution, applying a neutralizer. After this, the drugs are washed off with plenty of cool water. The only sensations during skin treatment are a very slight tingling sensation.
Indications for Ultraceuticals milk peeling are:
- problematic skin (dryness and flaking, dehydration);
- flaccid skin;

Skin renewal is carried out in a course of 4-10 procedures. After each episode, redness of the face may be observed; on the second or third day, finely plastic peeling is noted. Despite the low photosensitivity, it is better to use UV protection products after facial peeling in the clinic.
Almond peeling Ultraceuticals
The Ultraceuticals company produces not only first-class milk peeling, but also almond peeling - it differs only in the acid used. The large size of the molecule of the main component of the composition does not allow it to penetrate very deeply into the layers of the skin. It acts superficially, which guarantees minimal trauma to the procedure.
Mandelic acid has anti-inflammatory properties and is recommended for peeling for those clients who suffer from oily skin with a lot of comedones. It can also be used in the treatment of acne and the need to improve the tone, relief and color of the skin. The optimal course is from 4 to 10 procedures.
In general, both Ultraceuticals milk and almond peels are similar, but the former is better at whitening and moisturizing, while the latter is better at cleaning pores and reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Effect
The result can be seen after just one exfoliation session. Dead cells are removed, the skin surface becomes smoother and silkier.
Peeling in spring and summer
Facial peeling belongs to the category of aggressive procedures associated with some trauma to the epidermis.
In addition, there is a reduction in age spots and freckles, and facial contours are tightened.
The result is an improved overall appearance.
Consequences
Even if superficial peeling was carried out using Mediderma products, the possibility of various complications should not be ruled out. So, after exfoliation with pyruvic acid, which has a terrible odor, bronchospasm may begin to develop. It is for this reason that it is prohibited to be used in relation to people who have been diagnosed with bronchial asthma.
Also, after the procedure, swelling and redness cannot be ruled out, which can be caused by the action of retinol.
Azelac can cause pustular rashes, and glycolic acid can cause peeling and a feeling of tightness.
