Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is the most popular and frequent skin rejuvenation treatment that helps renew skin, improve radiance, eliminates fine lines and improves skin discoloration. Over time, our skin is affected by various factors, such as air pollution, sun, smoking and stress, resulting in cell renewal slowdown. A layer of dead cells remains on the top layer of the skin, preventing the new ones from appearing. As such, the skin looks dull and lifeless. Chemical peels are suitable for treating fine wrinkles, freckles, age spots, loss of elasticity and enlarged pores.
Depending on the needs of individual skin, chemical peels are classified into three categories:
- a) Superficial peels: Alpha-hydroxy acids (fruit acids):
Suitable for younger ages and skin that is not too damaged, indicating less depth of destruction into the dermis.
- b) Medium-depth peels, performed with trichloroacetic acid (TCA):
They penetrate deeper into the dermis, they soften wrinkles and eliminate uneven skin tone. Patients are usually recommended to abstain from their normal activities until properly healed.
- c) Deep peels (phenols):
Phenols reach the deeper layer of the dermis, compared to other peelings, and are mainly used to treat severe discoloration and deep wrinkles. They cause particularly aggressive exfoliation, so patients are required to abstain from their normal activities. For that reason, today they have been replaced by other treatments.
Easypeel, one of the most popular medium-depth trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, is performed at our clinic.

Process
Easypeel gradually renews skin cells.
