Medical Peels

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Medical peels are dermatological treatments that use different active ingredients to promote controlled skin renewal and progressively improve skin quality, texture, radiance and tone.

Depending on the skin’s characteristics and the desired outcome, the physician selects the most appropriate type of peel, concentration and depth.

They can be used to address concerns such as pigmentation, uneven texture, visible pores, excess oil, acne, fine lines and signs of photoaging.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Medical peels create a controlled chemical exfoliation that accelerates cell turnover and helps remove superficial damaged or pigmented cells.

As the skin renews itself, it may appear smoother, brighter and more even.

Depending on the active ingredient and depth of treatment, peels may also help improve pigmentation, regulate excess oil and support skin regeneration.

At Clínica LEMEL, the peel is selected according to the dermatological assessment and the specific needs of each patient’s skin.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?

The treatment is personalized according to the skin type and desired outcome, selecting from different medical peels such as mandelic, lactobionic or Yellow Peel.
