Surface peelings have weaker effect; thus, they should be repeated every month. Deeper peelings are quite strong and therefore it is recommended to be repeated less often, as they require more healing time.

However, the Dermatologist - Venereologist Dr. Amalia Tsiatoura emphasizes that it is very important to follow the instructions for recovery and proper use of the sunscreen after the treatment, in order to have the full benefits of the it.
Chemical Peeling is especially effective in people who have spots and freckles, wrinkles or scars, and generally in people who have facial skin discoloration. Its purpose is to smooth scars and signs of aging as well as to offer skin renewal.
