What is Peeling?
Peeling involves applying specialized gels or creams to the skin’s surface to soften old keratin, promote easier shedding, and encourage skin turnover. It offers a wide-ranging approach to addressing surface skin issues.
Regular peeling treatments can optimize skin turnover function, leading to improvement and prevention of issues like blemishes, dullness, and fine lines, as well as pore cleansing and acne improvement. The skin becomes smoother, with refined texture and a radiant glow.
Main Effects of Peeling
Beautiful Skin Effect
When turnover is accelerated by peeling, old keratin containing melanin is gradually excreted, and pigmentation such as blemishes and acne scars improves. The peeling agent also has the effect of dissolving dirt in the pores, and as turnover occurs and the dirt in the pores is removed, the skin is reborn as new skin, improving the appearance of open pores and rough skin, and bringing it closer to smooth skin. Furthermore, the active ingredients promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the dermis, which maintain moisture and elasticity, so you can expect your skin to regain its elasticity and improve wrinkles and fine lines caused by dryness.
Skin Barrier Effect Leads to Good Health
When the skin turnover is normalized by peeling, the skin barrier function improves, and the skin becomes resistant to problems. Healthy skin maintains a constant level of intercellular lipids, natural moisturizing factors (amino acids, urea, etc.), sebum, and skin moisture, and prevents foreign substances from entering from the outside. Disruptions to the turnover cycle caused by stress, aging, dryness, and hormonal imbalance can reduce the barrier function. To prevent skin problems and maintain normal skin condition, we recommend regular peeling.
Peeling Treatment at Our Clinic
Retinol Peel ＆ Professional Peel
t our clinic, we offer “Retinol Peel,” highly effective for anti-aging, and “Professional Peel,” a gentle formulation balanced with three types of acids suitable for the skin.
Recent advancements in peeling make it milder, making it accessible even to those with sensitive skin. If you’re new to peeling, feel free to consult with us without hesitation.
Retinol Peel
This is a peeling product made by the Spanish company Medi+Derma, which utilizes a nano-encapsulated form of retinol derivative. Retinol is a type of vitamin A that stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts in the dermis, thereby increasing collagen production. This can lead to improvements in fine lines and increased firmness.
Additionally, due to its ability to normalize skin turnover, it promotes the elimination of melanin, making it effective in improving issues such as spots, dullness, and pigmentation caused by acne scars. Moreover, it has a sebum-regulating effect, which can help improve and prevent acne. While retinol may cause irritation depending on skin type, this product tends to be gentler on the skin compared to conventional retinol products.
The retinol peel used in our clinic also contains zinc and hyaluronic acid. Zinc plays a role in promoting the production of hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain skin moisture, allowing you to regain hydrated and supple skin.

The peeling agent from Dermaceutic, a French company, has been developed over years of research to balance glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid effectively, minimizing skin irritation while harnessing their synergistic effects. Unlike conventional chemical peels that use these acids individually, the combination effect is achieved with minimal downtime due to its exquisite formulation.
Similar to the retinol peel, it promotes skin turnover by removing old keratinocytes, enhancing skin firmness, radiance, and diminishing fine lines. Additionally, it regulates sebum secretion, leading to improved appearance of enlarged pores.
