How it works
Chemical peeling involves the controlled application of dermatological acids — such as glycolic, salicylic, mandelic, or combinations of these — selected and dosed according to the concern and skin type identified during the personalized consultation. On contact with the epidermis, the acid promotes controlled exfoliation of the outermost layers, removing accumulated dead cells and unclogging pores.
This process accelerates the skin's natural cell renewal cycle, signaling faster production of new cells, which results in more even texture, visibly refined pores and a more uniform tone. At concentrations chosen for superficial action, the peel also subtly stimulates collagen production, without intense flaking or downtime incompatible with daily routine.
Protocol and results
The number of sessions, the type of acid and the ideal concentration are defined individually during the personalized consultation, since every skin responds differently depending on sensitivity, phototype and goal. In general, the recommended protocol involves 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 15 to 21 days apart, allowing the skin to fully renew before the next application.
The first effects — radiance and smoother texture — are usually noticeable after the initial sessions, with results deepening throughout the protocol. Being a safe, natural procedure with no cuts, the chemical peel delivers long-lasting results when maintained with periodic sessions, always under the supervision of Instituto Splendore's qualified team.
