About service
Although peeling and facial cleansing are cosmetological procedures with similar effects, there is a significant difference between them. During facial cleansing by a cosmetologist, only the superficial layer of the skin is affected: eruptions and sebaceous plugs are removed, pores are cleansed, and blackheads are eliminated. The procedure is performed manually using special instruments or an ultrasonic device. Facial cleansing is usually chosen by those with oily and problem skin.
Peeling, by contrast, helps renew the epidermis and remove dead cells. It involves not only the upper thin layer but also deeper layers—depending on the type of intervention. For this, weak solutions of glycolic, mandelic, pyruvic, and other acids are used. Special devices are also employed.
Different peeling options can improve skin quality, making it firmer and more elastic. In addition, wrinkles are reduced. Thus, it is one of the cosmetologists’ winning techniques. However, like all aesthetic interventions, peels have specific indications and contraindications.
Indications for the procedure
Modern resurfacing modalities successfully address numerous cutaneous problems—from individual features to age-related changes, in particular:
excessive oiliness,
acne,
blackheads and comedones,
epidermal laxity,
wrinkles,
pigment spots and a large number of freckles,
dryness and dullness,
scars and cicatrices,
age-related changes in facial contours.
Professional facial peeling provides a noticeable effect after a single session. After a course, transformation can be substantial. Women observe that the skin becomes more hydrated and matte, eruptions resolve, the depth of wrinkles and post-acne marks decreases, and “loose” areas, including the facial oval, are tightened.
Types of peeling
They are classified according to the mode of action and depth of penetration:
Superficial peeling is painless, as it acts only at the level of the epidermis (the superficial layer). It refreshes the facial skin, imparting smoothness. Such resurfacing often becomes part of combined procedures because it increases the penetration of active ingredients from preparations.
Medium-depth. This is a more serious intervention affecting viable cellular layers. The method removes indurated tissues and cells, correcting significant defects.
Deep. This is the most intensive and traumatic form of exfoliation and is more suitable for patients over 50 with pronounced age-related changes. During this procedure, the skin is, in a sense, cauterized—controlled tissue injury occurs; therefore, discomfort and pain are inevitable. It is performed under general anesthesia or with potent sedatives and analgesics.
The deeper the impact, the more apparent the rejuvenating effect, but the longer the rehabilitation period.
Types of peeling by mode of action:
Cosmetic. Performed with abrasive particles contained in a cosmetic product. It can be done both in a salon and at home. Such superficial scrubs are recommended 1 to 3 times per week.
Device-based. For thorough cleansing, various devices are used, including ultrasonic devices or attachments with natural bristles. As a result, dead cells desquamate, tissue blood supply is enhanced, and pores are cleansed. The complexion evens out, becoming smoother and firmer. The cosmetic physician adjusts the depth of action. Device-based peels combine well with facial cleansing, as well as with programs for problem and mature skin.
Chemical. The essence of the method is the action of fruit and other organic acids. A superficial variant is when acids applied to the skin dissolve corneocytes of the stratum corneum. In other cases, preparations induce a more significant chemical burn of tissues, leading to their renewal. The depth of action depends on the concentration of the formulation and the exposure time. In addition to cleansing, chemical peeling has hydrating and anti-inflammatory effects, normalizes sebaceous gland function, tightens pores, eliminates acne, and increases skin turgor. Moreover, it can smooth wrinkles, lighten pigment spots, and even eliminate scars and cicatrices.
How is professional facial peeling performed?
It does not require special preparation, and any type of resurfacing is carried out in several stages. In the case of chemical peeling, it will look approximately as follows:
The facial surface is cleansed and degreased.
The solution is then applied with massage movements. The cosmetologist leaves it on for a set time or rubs it into the skin with light massage movements.
The product is removed.
Finally, special preparations are applied to consolidate the effect.
For other peeling types there are nuances of performance, but in general a session lasts no more than 40–60 minutes. It is important that exfoliating and rejuvenating procedures be performed by experienced cosmetic physicians.

Advantages
A quality facial peel solves numerous skin problems, producing a noticeable transformation. The main advantages of exfoliation:
pores are cleared of excess sebum,
comedones and acne resolve,
metabolic processes are activated,
wrinkles are smoothed,
collagen and elastin production increases, enhancing firmness and elasticity,
the face is lightened and pigment spots disappear,
color and relief are evened out,
the skin becomes more hydrated and replenished,
exfoliation sessions increase the skin’s ability to absorb beneficial substances, as well as moisture and oxygen,
peeling options can be selected for patients of any age.
Cosmetologists advise applying nourishing masks immediately after peeling—this will enhance the effect.
Contraindications
Contraindications to resurfacing are standard:
pregnancy and breastfeeding,
allergy to formulation components,
open wounds or abrasions,
exacerbation of skin diseases,
oncologic pathologies.
Before the procedure, it is important to consult a cosmetic physician and inform them of any intolerances you may have. It is advisable not to perform chemical peels in the summer, or, after a session, to use a sunscreen with a high protection factor. This will help avoid the appearance of facial hyperpigmentation.
Facial peeling at Expert Clinics
At Expert Clinics in Moscow, some of the most effective and innovative chemical peels in aesthetic medicine are used—PRX-T33 and PQ Age.
The main “ingredient” of the PRX-T33 peel is trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It activates the production of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells), endogenous hyaluronic acid, and collagen. PRX-T33 smooths fine lines and thoroughly cleanses the skin, making it youthful, smooth, and radiant. This peel is indicated both at a young age for the treatment of acne and at a mature age to restore skin tone and slow aging processes.
PQ Age acts in a similar manner—also called the “bridal peel” for its ability to noticeably transform and improve skin quality. It works on both superficial and deeper layers. Rehabilitation after PRX-T33 and PQ Age exfoliation is rapid or not required at all. Your face will become younger and look fresher, more rested, and more attractive. At Expert Clinics, the price for this service is reasonable.
