The peeling against pigment spots 

The de-pigmentation peel is used in the treatment of spots in our office in Leeds. The average type of peel is active on brown spots, pregnancy mask and any spot in general. 

Your doctor applies an acid-based solution which destroys the superficial layers of the skin, eliminating the pigment residues, controlling thereafter the formation of melanin and prevent back-staining. The consequences of a peel session include home treatment based bleaching agents that prolong and intensify the effects of peeling. 

Slight redness may occur following the sessions and disappear within hours. Exfoliates the skin from the 2nd or 3rd day because the skin is renewed. The skin regenerates in depth and reveals a more even complexion.
