In general, precautions involve avoiding excessive sun exposure, following a skincare routine with appropriate products, avoiding scratching, and removing flaky skin.

Is it normal for skin to peel after a chemical peel?

Yes, it is normal for the skin to peel after the chemical procedure. The most important thing is not to scratch or remove it to avoid irritation and inflammation. In a short time, all the uncomfortable skin will be replaced by a youthful and healthy skin.

Facial peeling stimulates the renewal of skin cells through controlled peeling using chemical substances, or physical methods such as dermabrasion.

The procedure can be used to lighten acne blemishes and scars, as well as treating wrinkles and expression lines.

 what peeling?

The word peeling comes from the English word to peel , which means to peel or peel off.

The objective of the procedure, which is a safe and effective method, is to renew skin cells through peeling, in addition to being one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures in Brazil.

Peeling for the face and body is a very effective non-invasive treatment for wrinkles, blemishes, expression lines, acne scars and even for controlling oiliness.

This protocol can also reverse some conditions such as loss of elasticity and signs of premature aging.

Consult your dermatologist to find out what type of peeling your skin needs.

What are the types of peeling?

According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), peels can be classified in two ways, either according to their depth or the agent (chemical active) used to remove the skin layer.

Physical peeling occurs through agents that induce mechanical peeling, from small equipment and creams with abrasive particles, to devices that perform microabrasion on the skin through the flow of crystals, such as crystal peeling or diamond peeling.

Some benefits of chemical peeling are visible after just one application.

Doctors apply chemical agents, such as salicylic, glycolic, and retinoic acids, to remove the superficial skin layers through controlled peeling, allowing the skin to then regenerate with a better appearance.

Facial peeling removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores (improving the penetration of other active ingredients), reduces wrinkles, treats hyperpigmented spots, and treats acne scars.

Removing dead, damaged skin cells reveals new, more uniform, youthful, and healthy skin. Restructuring the skin also stimulates collagen production, leaving it firm, supple, and rejuvenated.

Different types of skin peels can act in different ways. Therefore, if you are unsure about which method is most appropriate for you, consult a dermatologist, who is the professional who can identify your needs and recommend the most suitable facial and body peel .

How is peeling done? Peeling

can be superficial, medium or deep.

Superficial peeling only affects the epidermis (the top skin layer) and treats blemishes, melasma, blackheads, and pimples. With the right dermocosmetics, it can be part of a daily skincare routine, reducing blemishes, wrinkles, signs, and lesions, improving the skin’s appearance.

Medium peeling is recommended for reducing wrinkles and deeper marks. It effectively treats signs of aging in mature skin and corrects acne signs. Qualified beauty professionals apply this technique.

Deep peeling is only performed under medical indication and execution, in specialized clinics, with anesthesia and necessary monitoring to ensure the product used does not reach the patient’s bloodstream and cause complications.

All peeling treatments must be indicated and monitored by a dermatologist after an individualized evaluation.

ADCOS peeling types

ADCOS has specific dermocosmetics for facial and body peeling , which treat your skin daily according to its needs:

To treat stains

If you need whitening to soften spots, marks and even out your facial skin, we recommend the Spot Lightening Peel .

It is composed of Glico Renewal – Concentrated Serum (which combines Glycolic, Mandelic, Salicylic and Lactobionic acids), together with Melan-Off B3 Lightening Concentrate – Serum for Dark Spots .

These products work synergistically to renew cells, depigment, inhibit melanin, treat blemishes and melasma, and also protect the skin against damage caused by visible light.

Anti-wrinkle peeling

If your skin needs intensive anti-aging treatment for deep lines and wrinkles, you need to know about Anti-Wrinkle Peeling .

The Anti-Wrinkle Peeling is perfect for mature skin, as it presents both the renewing benefits of  Glico Renovador – Concentrated Serum and the rejuvenating action of Derma Complex Retinol + Hyaluronic Acid – Anti-aging Cream .

This ADCOS treatment contains Retinol in its maximum concentration and a powerful moisturizing action due to the low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid present in its formulation.

Illuminating Peeling with Vitamin C

If you are looking for brighter skin, there is a peel that is ideal for your skin type: the Illuminating Peel with Vitamin C.

In it, you renew your skin with Glico Renewal – Concentrated Serum and illuminate it with the powerful Derma Complex Concentrated Vitamin C 20 – Anti-Aging , leaving your skin more renewed, smooth and uniform.

Its active ingredients also combat pollution and free radicals, have antioxidant action and stimulate cell renewal, in addition to preventing and reducing lines and wrinkles.

Important pre and post-peeling care

Some types of facial peeling require prior care that, if not carried out, can directly interfere with the results of the procedure.

To apply chemical agents, for example, your skin must be clean and degreased. ADCOS offers different products to cleanse and remove make-up from the skin before facial peeling .

During treatment, the use of sunscreen is more than mandatory. Remember that the peeling will thin the skin and make it more sensitive to the sun’s rays, so daily photoprotection is essential.

To achieve this, our main recommendation is the daily use of Fluid Sunscreen SPF 70 – Colors Shield Protection , which, in addition to having a very high level of protection, creates a protective shield for the skin, preventing it from suffering from the action of pollution and free radicals. Because it has vitamin E in its formula, it will help reinforce hydration and is suitable for all skin types.

After peeling , use neutral soaps in the first few days after the procedure and don’t forget to keep your skin hydrated.

Peeling can make your skin more sensitive. Therefore, pay attention to how it will behave after the procedure. People with allergies, darker skin, herpes, and those undergoing treatment with stronger medications should talk to their doctor to determine the best treatment options and avoid severe side effects.

In case of irritation, use healing, moisturizing and soothing products. Soothing Emulsion is a great option, as it calms and reduces redness while moisturizing and softening.

With ceramides, panthenol and shea butter, this product has high moisturizing power which, in combination with probiotics and a formula rich in omegas, vitamins and red sage extract, reduces redness and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier.

What moisturizer should I use after peeling?

Choose dermocosmetics with deep and long-lasting moisturizing action, with active ingredients that rebalance the skin’s water levels and reinforce the integrity of the skin barrier, such as Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Niacinamide, Vegetable Squalene and Prebiotics.

You can find these active ingredients in the formulations of ADCOS moisturizers , designed for biocompatibility with the skin, dermatologically tested and with proven efficacy in clinical studies.

How to include peeling in your skincare routine

When performing a peeling, start by cleaning your skin. When washing your face, you can use products that contain active ingredients that are responsible for exfoliating dead skin, promoting tissue renewal.

One example of this is the Neoderm Complex Glyco-Active Soap , which, in a multifunctional way, acts in different ways on the skin. It deeply cleanses, evens out texture, renews and brightens, in addition to being a gentle exfoliant for the skin. In addition, this soap prepares the face to optimize all other treatments that follow.

Another way is to use Glico Renewal – Concentrated Serum , which provides anti-aging treatment. Its formula was developed from the synergy of different active ingredients, such as mandelic, glycolic, lactobionic and salicylic acids. The result is safe, fast and effective cell renewal, and can even be used on combination and oily skin.

Tips for performing chemical and physical peels at home

Skin hygiene is one of the most important daily care routines.

Neoderm Complex Glyco-Active Soap deeply cleanses the skin while chemically exfoliating it, which promotes a finer, renewed and illuminated appearance.

To renew your skin, use the Illuminating Mint Peeling – Exfoliant together with the Glyco-Active Soap , which is easy to apply and remove.

It is a powerful physical exfoliant, with ecological particles, and a cell renewer, which promotes skin refinement. It is also suitable for the body and scalp.

This cleaning can be done twice a week:

1) Use the Glyco-Active Soap, spread it over the skin and keep it in the applied area.

2) With it still on the skin, apply the Illuminating Mint Peeling on top, without removing the soap.

3) Exfoliate lightly for a while and then remove.

The result is immediate: your skin will feel softer, brighter and with reduced pores.

Stimulate collagen production with peeling

Collagen, a substance that guarantees the support, firmness and health of the skin, is one of the most abundant proteins in our body.

However, between the ages of 25 and 30, it is common for the amount produced to begin to fall, year after year.

Peeling , a routine step for skincare enthusiasts, can help stimulate this. The main objective of this method is cell renewal, promoting the removal of dead cells to make way for new, healthy tissue .

According to dermatologists, collagen and elastin fibers experience a decline in production when we reach our 30s. At this age, they become disorganized, which causes irregular cell renewal and also causes the skin to lose hydration.

Hormonal changes, such as in the pre- and post-menopause period, are also factors that directly influence the production of collagen in the skin, as they lead to the loss of facial volume (skin density), firmness and elasticity.

As a result, our skin ends up becoming thinner and more fragile, favoring the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.

To treat these signs, peeling is the best way to ensure that Vitamin C, Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid and other anti-aging agents are better absorbed.

In this method, mandelic and glycolic acids are mostly used, which enhance the action of these anti-aging active ingredients and help them penetrate the deepest layers of the skin.

Chemical peeling before and after: what is it?

A chemical solution is used in a chemical peel, sometimes referred to as chemexfoliation or dermapeeling, to enhance the look of your skin. During this procedure, your skin is treated with a chemical solution that damages or traumatizes its layers. Eventually, the layers of skin peel off, exposing skin that is younger. The regenerated skin typically has a more even tone, a brighter complexion, and is smoother with fewer wrinkles.

How it is done:

Chemical Peels are applied to clean skin to cover all areas evenly. In some cases, slight stinging and burning may occur.

Procedure Time:

The average application time is 5 to 15 minutes.

Recovery Time:

Superficial peeling has a quick recovery with slight flaking after 2-3 days of the procedure. Medium-depth peeling has a longer recovery time, which can last up to five days. With deep peeling, the recovery time varies from 20 to 30 days.

Expected results:

The expected result is an improvement in the texture and quality of the skin, as well as a reduction in fine wrinkles and skin blemishes.

Associated treatments:

Depending on the patient’s skin type and needs, the Dermatologist may recommend combining this peeling with other procedures.
