For a long time the skin was considered to be [merely a covering]. Now we know that our skin has a life and undergoes continual renewal. Unfortunately internal and external damage causes harm to the skin, resulting in spots, wrinkles, loss of tone, flaccidity and aged appearance. Peeling, among the available treatments, is perhaps one of most efficient. Peeling is a procedures to exfoliate the skin, causing the skin to renew its aged exterior cells with new cells, as well as remove spots caused by the sun or cold, or chemicals

Of mecanica or quimica form, peelings can be made in consultorio and generally they are chosen in accordance with the experiencia of I medicate it. Peelings quimicos is most common and is several the used acidos ones for such end. Concentracao of this acidos vao to dictate the depth of acao, that it depends on the state of the skin. The more rugas and the more deep the spots, greater depth must have peeling. Unnecessary to say that the cares in the pos peeling, with a powerful solar protector and the cares in using a hat and preventing extreme exposition to the sun or the cold are basic. It has circunstancias where it has necessity of repetition of peeling and the treatment in house, with acidos and hidratantes, they complement the cares with the skin. It comes to make an evaluation without commitment and knows more on these small procedures, simple to make and that they take the great results.

CHEMICAL OR MECHANICAL PEELING OF THE SKIN

The Peeling is an abrasion of the skin, carried through through acid, lixamento or laser. It aims at the renewal of the skin from the scalling off of the layers most superficial (superficial epidermis and/or derme). With this scalling off, the skin is renewed from the layers deepest, being with rejuvenescido aspect - with little spots, rugas and with better turgor. The depth of peeling depends on the acid type of or used technique. The more aggressive he will be acid, the deepest one will be peeling, with consequence better resulted and bigger risk of complications. Peelings superficial (P. former: acid glicólico or retinóico) propitiates a light scalling off, removing only the injuries most superficial of the epidermis.

To put to be less aggressive, does not need rest or recovery, being able the patient to come back the same to the activities in day. Peelings average (P. former: acid tricloroacético) takes to the one intense scalling off, needing 7 the 14 days of recovery. They are more aggressive and effective that peelings superficial, removing spots and rugas of average depth. Already peelings deep (P. former: Co2 phenol or laser) leads to the formation of crusts, which delay up to 21 days to fall. They are peelings more aggressive, needing anesthesia for the accomplishment. For reaching the layers deepest of the skin, they propitiate the best ones resulted, but also the biggest possibilities of complications. In the case of the dermoabrasão (lixamento of the skin), the doctor is who goes to control the depth of peeling, being able this to vary since the superficial one to the deep one.
