Chemoexfoliation, or Chemical Peel Brisbane, is a procedure used to improve specific cutaneous conditions through the controlled stratum corneum removal.
The aim of this procedure is altering the appearance of the skin through the regeneration of new epidermis.
Chemoexfoliation, compared to physical or mechanical exfoliation, has evident advantages such as:
- Major efficacy
- Major efficiency
- Easier execution of procedure
- Versatility: use of organic acids of various natures for the treatment of different cutaneous problems.
- Independence of the technical skill of the doctor: contrary to mechanical or physical peelings (such as laser, micro and dermobrasion) chemoexfoliation does not depend totally on the technical expertise of whom executes the procedure.
- Possibility of the integration of auxiliary substances: “medicated” chemical peelings contain active ingredients that are able to synergise the activity of different acids.
