Know that chemical peeling is a medical-aesthetic <a href=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/en\/treatments\/5-facial-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">treatment<\/a> that helps to renew the skin and restore its luminosity, uniformity and freshness in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Skin Boutique<\/strong>, chemical peels are adapted to each patient&#8217;s <strong>phototype<\/strong> and <strong>skin condition<\/strong>. The treatment protocol is individual and defined after a medical assessment to ensure <strong>safe and effective results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we explain the most common <strong>types of chemical peels <\/strong>, in which situations they can be applied and how they can transform the <strong>health and beauty of the skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is chemical peeling and what is it used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chemical peeling<\/strong> is a <strong>medical-aesthetic treatment<\/strong> that uses a chemical solution to remove the superficial layers of the skin in a controlled manner. Through this process, the skin renews itself and a new, younger, smoother and more even layer emerges. This technique is effective for treating and improving signs such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blemishes (sun spots or melasma);<\/li>\n<li>Acne scars;<\/li>\n<li>Fine wrinkles;<\/li>\n<li>Slight sagging;<\/li>\n<li>Enlarged pores;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dull <\/strong>, uneven <strong>skin <\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The final result of a chemical peel varies from person to person, as it depends a lot on the type and initial condition of the skin. This <strong>exfoliation<\/strong> can be done on the face, but also on other areas of the body such as the hands, <a href=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/en\/wrinkles\/neck-wrinkles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neck<\/a>, <strong>d\u00e9collet\u00e9<\/strong> and intimate area.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5 Types of chemical peels for different skin problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Peeling for facial rejuvenation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It improves the <strong>overall quality of the skin<\/strong>, reduces sagging and smoothes fine wrinkles such as <strong>crow&#8217;s feet,<\/strong> <strong>bar codes<\/strong> and <strong>smile<\/strong> lines. This type of chemical peel promotes visibly younger and revitalized skin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Peeling for oily\/acne-prone skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Concentrated in <strong>salicylic acid<\/strong>, this peel purifies the skin, reduces inflammation and helps control shine, giving it a healthier, more balanced appearance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Peeling for blemishes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Developed to treat <strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/en\/treatments\/forever-young-bbl-photorejuvenation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photoaging<\/a><\/strong> on the face and d\u00e9collet\u00e9. It has antioxidant, depigmenting and regenerative properties. Improves skin tone and helps prevent premature ageing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Peeling for melasma<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It acts selectively on <strong>different<\/strong> <strong>types of pigmentation<\/strong>, with the ability to even out skin tone, reduce sebum production, stimulate cell renewal and <strong>smooth wrinkles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Intimate peeling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>intimate whitening peel<\/strong> is a safe solution that improves the appearance of the skin in the intimate area, <strong>groin and armpits<\/strong>. It uses gentle acids such as <strong>Glycolic Acid<\/strong> and <strong>Lactic Acid<\/strong>, which promote progressive whitening and cell renewal. It is especially sought after by women who value their <a href=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/en\/treatments\/gynecology-intimate-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intimate health<\/a>, comfort and self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which type of chemical peel is right for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The choice of peel depends on the skin diagnosis, the desired results and the time available for recovery. In addition, the <strong>number of sessions<\/strong> required varies according to the initial condition of the skin and the <strong>depth of the peel<\/strong> used (superficial, medium and deep).<\/p>\n<p>In general, <strong>superficial and medium peels<\/strong> require a <strong>protocol of 3 to 5 sessions<\/strong>, at <strong>intervals of around 30 days<\/strong>, to achieve visibly satisfactory results. If the skin problems are mild, fewer treatment sessions may be necessary. On the other hand, if the complaints are more obvious, the number of sessions may be greater to guarantee an effective result.<\/p>\n<p>At Skin Boutique, you can find different types of peeling, with safe ingredients and concentrations suited to each patient&#8217;s skin type and goals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Before and after chemical peels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Take a look at the <strong>before and after<\/strong> <strong>facial <\/strong> <strong>peeling<\/strong> of this patient who managed to improve her <strong>dark<\/strong> under-eye <strong>circles<\/strong> and regain beautiful, brighter and more even skin.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11990 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Peeling-20463.jpg\" alt=\"Peeling #20463\" width=\"1160\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Peeling-20463.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Peeling-20463-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Peeling-20463-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Peeling-20463-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chemical peeling at Skin Boutique: Personalized, safe and effective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chemical peeling<\/strong> is a skin treatment that offers excellent results on the face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9 and also in the intimate area.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any doubts about which <strong>type of peeling<\/strong> is right for you, visit our website and <a href=\"https:\/\/skinboutique.pt\/en\/treatments\/chemical-peeling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book an assessment appointment<\/a> at <strong>Skin Boutique in Porto, Lisbon or Cascais<\/strong>.
