The skin has two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the thin layer in contact with the outside: it is very thin since its thickness is only 0,02 mm on the face. Peeling is an act of applying a chemical substance (most often an acid) to the skin, in order to cause limited and controlled destruction of the epidermis or even of the superficial layers of the dermis. The purpose of this destruction is to obtain regeneration of the destroyed layers and to stimulate the production of elastic fibers and collagen in the underlying layers, in order to densify the skin.

Thus the peeling makes it possible to fight against:

• heliodermatitis (= skin damage caused by the sun): brown spots, dull complexion, small wrinkles
• skin pigmentations such as the pregnancy mask 
• acne, especially blackheads and microcysts, pigmented spots after acne pimples and acne scars.
