What Are Peelings?
Peelings are chemical substances applied by a doctor to the face, usually to exfoliate the skin. This process reveals a new layer of skin underneath, giving an immediately brighter, healthier appearance. The word comes from the English term “to peel,” meaning “to strip off.”
Peelings can be superficial, medium, or deep, depending on various factors:
- The molecule itself, or the acid(s) contained in the product
- The pH of the solution used
- The concentration of the acid
- The duration the acid remains on the skin: some molecules are self-limiting, while others penetrate deeper the longer they remain in contact with the skin
- The patient’s skin characteristics, including its reactivity, thickness, and degree of aging
Are All Peelings the Same?
Absolutely not! It’s important to know that peelings have different purposes depending on the molecules they contain. There are molecules with:
- Sebum-regulating properties
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Depigmenting properties
- Exfoliating properties
Additionally, there are various types of peelings:
- Single-molecule peelings
- Combined peelings with a mix of different acids
- Sequential peelings, where multiple treatments are applied one after the other
Not a Peeling, but… PRX-Therapy
Some treatments are mistakenly referred to as peelings, such as PRX-Therapy, which is actually a facial, neck, and décolleté beauty program. The advantage of this treatment is that there’s no downtime, and you can immediately return to your daily activities.
PRX-Therapy is also popular with celebrities for special occasions because it instantly firms the skin and provides a noticeable glow, which both female and male patients love.
How does it work? The doctor deeply stimulates the skin.
PRX-Therapy starts with the application of a worldwide-distributed bio-revitalizer by an aesthetic doctor. This product is the result of extensive research and is protected by an international patent. Through a special massage—more like a light caress—the doctor penetrates the active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.
Immediately, the complexion appears fresher, more luminous, and rejuvenated due to this deep stimulation.
The treatment continues at home
The beauty routine begins with the application of WiQo Nourishing and Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin, a rich and soft cream that provides the face with all the nutrients it needs, preventing dehydration throughout the day.
The final and essential step of this beauty program is WiQo Smoothing Face Fluid, which works on the skin by inducing a sort of “exercise” through a reduction in pH.
Long-lasting effectiveness
The treatment stimulates the skin’s natural renewal process. The immediate effects, visible after the first application, are due to the deep hydration provided by the active ingredients. To maintain these results over time and achieve a long-lasting rejuvenation effect, it’s essential to complete a series of sessions with your specialist and continue the treatment at home using high-quality WiQo cosmetics.
