Non-facial Chemical Peelings

Chemical and Physical Peelings

  • 965 Accesses

Abstract

Facial peels are widely spread across dermatology practice for either cosmetic or disease purposes. Body peel techniques borrow the knowledge from facial treatments and apply it to body area respecting some differences.

The right agent and the correct technique are the pillars to promote an effective and safe body chemical exfoliation. In order to obtain the best therapeutic results, very superficial stratum corneum and superficial epidermis are the most suitable for body treatments. Body peels should be performed in serial sessions and in a gradual manner according to the indications.

These rules avoid persistent erythema, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acromia, delayed wound healing, and even necrosis which would generate an unaesthetic dermal scarring.
