Physician-supervised 70% glycolic acid and 30% citric acid fruit peel to resurface the skin, regulate sebum, reduce pigmentation and accelerate cell turnover. At DermaMedEst chemical peeling is recommended in a course of three sessions at three to four week intervals, performed between September and March to minimise photosensitivity risk.

About this treatment
Chemical peeling works by disrupting the adhesive bonds between keratinocytes in the outer layers of the skin. The glycolic acid used at DermaMedEst — at a 70% concentration blended with 30% citric acid — is one of the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid molecules, allowing it to penetrate the stratum corneum and reach the granular layer of the epidermis efficiently. The citric acid component acts synergistically, extending the effective acid contact and…
At DermaMedEst all peeling procedures are performed by clinic physicians. Before application the treating physician assesses skin type, Fitzpatrick phototype and the target condition — acne, sebum dysregulation or pigmentation — to calibrate application time and confirm the patient is in an appropriate window for treatment. Because high-concentration glycolic acid at this strength acts within seconds to minutes and the depth of effect depends on contact…
The treatment is available September through March only. This seasonal restriction exists because glycolic acid significantly increases UV sensitivity: the fresh skin revealed after peeling is thinner than normal and burns rapidly in summer sun.

During the treatment course — typically three sessions spaced three to four weeks apart — patients are…
