Medical peeling
Medical peeling is a treatment with a care and healing effect,
It is a method of exfoliating the epidermis and a supportive therapy for various types of acne.

Medical peels are such professional treatments.

This acid is used for patients whose skin is struggling with acne lesions, dilated capillaries and fine wrinkles, or with reduced density. Mandelic acid is characterized by exfoliating the epidermis. As a result, the dead layer is removed.
