Crystal peeling is an aesthetic treatment widely used to combat acne scars, fine wrinkles or blemishes, for example, without the need to use chemicals that irritate the skin. This is because it is performed with a device that contains aluminum hydroxide crystals at the tip that promotes skin suction, removing the most superficial layer and stimulating collagen production.
Crystal peeling should be done in a dermatologist’s office as it is necessary to assess the intensity necessary to adequately treat the skin problem. The price of crystal peeling varies between 300 and 900 reais, depending on the region and the number of sessions needed to treat the problem.

How crystal peeling works
Crystal peeling removes the most superficial layer of the skin, eliminating dirt and oil, promoting a slight peeling of the skin, which is essential for activating the collagen fibers responsible for improving the skin’s support.
It can be performed 1 to 2 times a week and the number of sessions required will vary depending on the condition of the person’s skin, but results can begin to be seen after the first session. Generally, at least 3 sessions are recommended, once a week.
Crystal peeling is not recommended for people who have a lot of acne or herpes and the procedure can only be carried out on pregnant women if approved by the doctor.
It is important that after carrying out the crystal peeling you take care of your skin to prevent dark spots from appearing, and it is important that sunscreen is used.
