Peeling of the skin can be divided into three levels: severe, moderate and mild. Mild or superficial exfoliation penetrates only the outermost layer of the skin and also uses low-strength materials. After cleansing the skin, chemicals are applied to the skin with a brush, gauze or cotton swab or another tool. After the reactions start, the skin turns white and the person feels a slight sensation of chemical reactions going on, on their skin. After this time, the neutralizing medicines are applied to the skin to restore the acidic environment on the skin.
Deep or intense exfoliation, in turn, penetrates the middle layers of the skin to gain deep access to dead skin cells. The material used in this peeling is a strong chemical; Therefore, the duration of application of the acidic chemical on the skin in deep peeling is limited and less than the other two cases. At this level of exfoliation, the person is affected by sedatives so that they do not feel reactions on their skin.
Finally, medium exfoliation uses medium chemicals to access the outer and middle layers of the skin. The chemicals are applied to the skin with a special sponge or ear cleaner. Medium peeling is added to the trichloroacetic acid in the exfoliating chemicals and the material turns blue, which is why this type of skin exfoliation is also known as blue exfoliation. During the procedure, the skin begins to whiten and no neutralizers are needed, but a variety of coolers may be used for greater patient comfort.
