Gentle peels are a technique using glycolic acid-based chemicals to stimulate cell renewal by removing the superficial layers of skin.

The main aim of soft peels is to improve skin radiance and promote epidermal regeneration, without causing skin irritation or requiring a period of social or professional convalescence. They include most surface peels and some medium peels, but control them.

In other words, a gentle peel should not cause scabbing, severe and persistent redness or peeling of the skin. It can therefore be carried out at any time of the day or week, without worrying about the appointments or obligations that follow.

Aesthetic physicians take a completely different approach when it comes to choosing a hyaluronic acid (HA). This time, he favors a low molecular weight to enable HA to diffuse efficiently through the epidermis and reach the dermis, ensuring optimal hydration and trophic action.

What's more, any type of peel can be made gentler thanks to two simple factors:

The action time of the peeling solution: the longer the contact with the skin, the deeper the molecules penetrate, making the product potentially irritating.

A neutralizing buffer solution enables the doctor to stop the acidic action of the surface or medium peel at any time. At the first sign of skin tingling, the physician rinses the face.

It is essential to note that the concentration of acids has a direct impact on the pH and, consequently, on the acidity level of the preparation. It is therefore imperative to call on the services of an experienced and competent aesthetic physician, as his or her in-depth knowledge will enable him or her to perform a gentle peel, thereby minimizing undesirable side effects
