CHEMICAL PEELS AT A GLANCE
Chemical peels are clinical skin resurfacing treatments designed to improve pigmentation, texture, dullness, congestion and early signs of skin ageing. At ULANDA, peels are selected according to skin behaviour, barrier resilience, hormonal context and treatment goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a clinical skin resurfacing treatment that uses controlled acids to dissolve dead skin cells, smooth texture, brighten pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal. In simple terms, chemical peels lift away old, dull skin and encourage fresher, brighter and healthier-looking skin to emerge. In scientific terms, chemical peels accelerate corneocyte desquamation, epidermal turnover, dermal fibroblast activity, melanin regulation and barrier lipid restoration.
