About This Treatment

Chemical peeling applies chemical agents for controlled skin exfoliation. Classified as superficial (AHA/BHA), medium (TCA 15-35%), or deep (phenol).

Glycolic acid (AHA) weakens intercellular bonds; salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates pores for comedone removal.

Mechanism of Action

AHA weakens desmosome bonds to promote stratum corneum shedding. TCA causes protein coagulation through the full epidermis for medium-depth peeling. Both stimulate new epidermal regeneration and collagen remodeling.
