Purpose of the procedure
Human skin consists of the dermis and epidermis, which takes on the influence of external factors. The integuments are regularly updated, and the replacement of the epidermis takes about 60 days. On average, it is covered with 20 layers of old cells, which are also involved in the process of protecting the skin from external influences. With age or under the influence of hormonal processes, the cornified layers thicken, so you have to resort to the mechanical peeling procedure, which allows you to bring the skin in order.
