3 types of skin peeling
Skin exfoliation is done in different ways. The steps involved in these methods and the benefits they have for the skin are somewhat different. In the following, we have talked about 3 types of peeling:
Laser
There are two types of laser peeling:
- Carbon dioxide laser
- Erbium Yag laser
In this method, a laser device is used to reduce the severity of fine facial skin and its spots. In this method, the skin color becomes lighter and more even, and the skin becomes softer and smoother.
Chemical peeling
In this method, chemicals are used for exfoliation. These materials are different according to the characteristics and skin problems of a person. Acid therapy is commonly used for a variety of skin problems.
Chemical peels are a great option for reducing fine lines, acne, skin scars and brown spots.
Microdermabrasion
This method is one of the most popular skin peeling methods. During the microderm process, dead skin cells are removed and skin collagen production is stimulated and increased. Skin tissues are stimulated to produce collagen. Reducing skin darkness, balancing skin fat, reducing surface wrinkles, etc. are among the benefits of this method.
In this method, underlying crystals are drawn on the patient’s skin, and in this way, the person’s skin will be worn and the outermost layer of the skin will be destroyed. Then, using a suction device, the crystals are collected from the patient’s skin.
The result of using microderm is the softness and smoothness of the skin of the treated area, the stimulation of collagen production and the absorption of more nutrients.

If you perform skin peeling in a reputable clinic and under the supervision of an experienced specialist, you should not worry about the side effects of skin peeling. If you do not pay attention to this point, the following problems may occur:

Of course, note that the mild type of redness and inflammation may occur for all people. But the severity of these complications is not a good sign.
