This peeling occurs only to a slight peeling of the skin treatment.
A surface peeling occurs around 0.06 millimeters in the epidermis, the stratum corneum in one. The peeling substances are naturally occurring acids, alpha hydroxy acids. These include glycol, milk, lemon, almond and tartaric acid. Glycolic acid is well suited for light skin peeling treatments.
The acids are used in concentrations of 20 – 70 percent with different pH values used, this increases the water retention capacity of the skin. The stratum corneum is relaxed and before frost formation is the skin is neutralized with sodium bicarbonate.This method has proved to be relatively effective beside ungsarm out. Another substance is peeling trichloracetic (TCA) at a concentration of 20% until this occurs in the stratum of the dermis papillare on. There is consequently increased the number of fibroblasts, so the new production of type I collagen is initiated. This leads to a slight Hautschalung with erythema and desquamation (slight inflammation, redness) in the next three to five days.
