How does chemical peeling occur?

First, the cosmetologist moistens the cotton applicator in a certain chemical solution, carefully squeezes it so that the solution does not hit the patient's eyes, and rubs it into the skin for half an hour. First of all, the frontal part is processed, then - the nose, cheeks, and then - the chin. You can feel a slight burning sensation. Then on the face are applied adhesive plasters of two types: cotton (two pieces) and silk (the same number). The procedure takes approximately two hours. The mask does not need to be removed on its own, it will depart for the second day. After its removal, the skin must be treated with iodine thymol, which promotes its regeneration. With such a mask, it will take another seven days. As a result of the procedure there is a severe swelling, which comes off only a week later. On the face should form a dense crust. Then the cosmetologist covers it with a layer of cotton wool for one day. Further, the patient will be able to take care of the skin on his own, using various means.
