Body peel ingredients
At Excellage Clinic we use acidic body exfoliants, such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to help break the bonds between dead skin cells in the surface layer of the skin, as the materials used in body exfoliation are similar to those used in face, but with different concentrations.
Is it appropriate to peel the body of patients with eczema?
In normal cases, peeling is not used to treat eczema, but in certain cases, the dermatologist may resort to peeling the superficial layer in areas suffering from eczema, thus ensuring that moisturizers and therapeutic drugs reach more of the deep and lower layers of the skin, which improves the results of treatment.
