Dull skin, uneven texture, enlarged pores and acne marks are common concerns in the clinic — and improving them does not always require invasive procedures. Facial peeling removes the skin's superficial layers in a controlled way, stimulating cell renewal and collagen production, with progressive results and quick recovery.
What is facial peeling?
Peeling is a procedure that promotes controlled exfoliation of the skin's most superficial layers, accelerating natural cell renewal. By removing these layers, the body is stimulated to produce new skin, with better texture, evenness and firmness — as well as boosting collagen production, responsible for the skin's support and elasticity.
Types of peeling
Each type of peeling acts at a different depth of the skin, and the choice depends on each patient's concern and goal:
- Physical (mechanical) peeling — exfoliation with microcrystals or diamond tips, indicated for uneven texture and enlarged pores.
- Chemical peeling — acids such as glycolic, salicylic, mandelic and retinoic promote deeper renewal, indicated for spots, oiliness and acne marks.
- Enzymatic peeling — mild-action enzymes, indicated for sensitive skin or as maintenance between more intense protocols.
Who is it indicated for
Facial peeling is indicated to treat different skin concerns, including:
- Uneven texture and enlarged pores.
- Mild acne marks and scars.
- Superficial spots and melasma, as part of a combined protocol.
- Fine lines and loss of skin radiance.
- Excess oiliness and dull-looking skin.
The SKIMS Rejuvenation protocol
Within the SKIMS Method, peeling is one of the pillars of the SKIMS Rejuvenation protocol — the depth and type of peeling are defined based on an individual assessment, and can be combined with other procedures, such as collagen biostimulators and hyaluronic acid, to enhance firmness and radiance results.
Care after the procedure
After peeling, the skin becomes temporarily more sensitive — sunscreen use is essential, as is avoiding direct sun exposure, exfoliants and irritating actives in the following days. The professional guides the specific care based on the type and depth of peeling performed.
Results of facial peeling
The results of facial peeling are progressive: the skin becomes visibly more even, radiant and firm over the sessions, as cell renewal and collagen production intensify. A prior assessment is essential to indicate the type and depth of peeling best suited to each case.
