Peelings
Peeling is a non-invasive technique used in the treatment of skin imperfections. It stimulates the renewal of skin cells through controlled exfoliation by applying chemical substances. It is a safe and effective method and one of the most sought-after and performed aesthetic procedures worldwide.
Types of peelings
Physical Peeling: It is performed using equipment or abrasive creams that induce mechanical exfoliation of the skin.
Chemical Peeling: It is performed by applying chemical substances, such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and retinoic acid, which remove the superficial layers of the skin, promoting skin regeneration.
Chemical peels are one of the techniques performed at Dr. Marta Beauty Clinic for the treatment of the following conditions:
Scars
Acne scars
Melanosis (age spots)
Keratosis
Hyperpigmentation
Melasma
Sun-damaged skin
Sagging
Wrinkles
Intimate rejuvenation
The degree of exfoliation varies according to the type of chemical peel used, which can differ in potency, acting in different ways and at different depths of the skin:
Superficial Peeling or Lunchtime Peeling:
A mild acid is used that only reaches the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. The goal is to induce exfoliation of the skin to eliminate the aged skin and, subsequently, promote its renewal.
It is primarily indicated for the treatment of spots, melasma, and fine lines, improving the skin's tone and texture, giving it a fresher and healthier appearance. This peeling is completely painless, only causing a mild burning sensation.
Medium Peeling
This peeling reaches a moderate depth, damaging the epidermis and the upper dermis, causing a thicker and darker exfoliation.
It is indicated to reduce medium wrinkles and deeper marks, being very effective for more mature skin, and also in the treatment of acne scars. This peeling is also completely painless, only causing a mild burning or stinging sensation.
Deep Peeling
It is applied to penetrate deeply into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, with the aim of removing damaged cells. It is indicated for the treatment of highly photo-aged skin with very deep wrinkles and significant keratoses. Being a more aggressive peeling, it is performed only in a hospital setting, with the application of anesthesia and necessary monitoring. The results are much more significant, however, the risks and discomfort are greater.
Cosmelan, by Mesoestetic®
It is an innovative depigmentation treatment designed to eradicate or reduce acquired melanin-based skin spots, while also evening out the tone and enhancing the skin's luminosity. It can be used on all skin types and can be applied year-round due to its high safety profile.
1º It deactivates the enzyme responsible for melanin production and the formation of darker spots.
2º It uses a blend of skin-lightening agents and botanical ingredients to eliminate excess pigmentation. This method begins in the clinic with Dr. Marta's hands, who applies, under a strict protocol, the degreasing solution and the facial mask.
Once the Cosmelan 1 mask is applied, the patient can go home and continue the treatment with Cosmelan 2 (a home-use anti-spot cream).
Dermamelan, by Mesoestetic®
It is a depigmentation method that provides intensive corrective action on skin hyperpigmentation, while regulating the overproduction of melanin in melanocytes, inhibiting and controlling the reappearance of new spots.

The repetition of this treatment will depend on the type of peeling recommended.
During this treatment, it is important to follow a daily skincare routine, particularly applying sunscreen, preferably for sensitive skin. In general, you should perform proper cleansing and hydration, and avoid using irritating topical substances.
