White peeling: everything you need to know for brighter, clearer, and renewed skin

KEIT Day Hospital has clinical facilities dedicated to aesthetic medicine treatments, organised to ensure appropriate standards of hygiene, procedural precision and patient comfort.
For white peeling treatment, the doctor assesses skin texture, the distribution of pigmentation spots, sebum production and the condition of the skin barrier, using specific instruments and products for chemical exfoliation. The treatment involves the controlled application of an exfoliating gel followed by a brightening formulation, according to the application times and methods established by the protocol.
The organisation of the clinical facilities and the availability of medical resources allow the different stages of the procedure to be managed, from skin cleansing and preparation to removal of the exfoliating product, application of the final cream and immediate assessment of the skin's response.

KEIT Day Hospital works with medical professionals experienced in aesthetic medicine, skin condition assessment and chemical exfoliation treatments. For white peeling, knowledge of skin physiology and the mechanisms of action of acids is essential for identifying suitable patients, selecting the treatment protocol and recognising any abnormal reactions.
Treatment is personalised according to skin phototype, skin sensitivity, the presence of acne, pigmentation changes and individual tolerance to exfoliating ingredients. Particular attention is paid to reactive skin and patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
An additional advantage is the presence of a multidisciplinary medical team within KEIT Day Hospital, allowing specialists in dermatology or other medical disciplines to be involved when additional assessments or specific medical assistance are required.

Before white peeling treatment, the doctor carries out an individual assessment of skin type, phototype, pigmentation, the presence of acne lesions and the patient's expectations. The consultation includes taking a medical history, with particular attention to allergies, medications being taken, recent exfoliating treatments, sun exposure, skin infections and possible contraindications.
Assessment of skin condition makes it possible to distinguish superficial pigmentation spots from deeper pigmentation changes and to evaluate the presence of inflammatory acne, irritation or a compromised skin barrier. Treatment is not planned according to standard parameters but according to the formulation used, skin tolerance and realistic goals. When white peeling is not the most appropriate solution, the doctor assesses the available alternatives and discusses their limitations with the patient.

KEIT Day Hospital follows hygiene and infection prevention protocols that include disinfecting clinical areas, appropriate skin preparation and the use of suitable materials during treatments. For white peeling, particular attention is paid to handling exfoliating products, protecting sensitive areas and adhering to application times.
The protocol involves the use of formulations containing exfoliating acids and a final cream, selected according to their instructions for use and the patient's skin characteristics. Proper product storage, checking packaging and following the manufacturer's instructions are important aspects of treatment quality.
Clinical documentation records relevant information about the preparations used, including formulations, concentrations when available and treated areas, contributing to traceability and monitoring of treatment sessions.

White peeling is a superficial chemical treatment that causes controlled skin exfoliation. It generally does not require anaesthesia, but the application of acids may cause a temporary burning, stinging or warming sensation. Selecting the appropriate formulation, adhering to exposure times and handling the product correctly are essential for limiting the risk of skin irritation and injury.
In addition to temporary effects such as redness, dryness, sensitivity and peeling, irritant dermatitis, pigmentation changes or allergic reactions may occur. Less common complications include chemical burns, infections and scarring, particularly in cases of excessive acid exposure or a compromised skin barrier.
Prompt recognition of abnormal reactions and implementation of appropriate protocols, including removal or neutralisation of the product when required by the formulation, are essential for managing any complications.
One of KEIT Day Hospital's distinguishing features is the availability of hospital infrastructure and a multidisciplinary medical team. The facility has three equipped operating theatres, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, equipment for monitoring vital signs, emergency management devices and a postoperative recovery room. These resources provide additional medical support, alongside the specific protocols required to manage complications associated with chemical peels.

At KEIT Day Hospital, patient care continues after white peeling treatment has been completed. Patients receive personalised instructions on skin hydration, the use of at-home skincare products, sun protection and precautions to follow during the peeling process.
Follow-up is determined according to the patient's individual response and the agreed treatment schedule. Follow-up appointments allow the doctor to assess changes in skin texture, radiance and pigmentation, while also checking tolerance to treatment. When indicated, the doctor may modify the protocol or schedule additional sessions after an appropriate skin recovery period.
For international patients, care may also continue remotely through communication with medical staff and guidance on necessary follow-up appointments. KEIT Day Hospital also provides an emergency contact number, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

KEIT Day Hospital places particular emphasis on transparent information and treatment documentation. Before white peeling treatment, patients receive explanations about the formulations used, the stages of the procedure, the approximate number of sessions, expected benefits, the time required for skin peeling and potential risks.
Clinical documentation records the products applied, treated areas, exposure times and any skin reactions observed, allowing the skin's response to be monitored throughout treatment. When appropriate and with the patient's consent, photographic documentation is taken to compare the initial appearance with the results observed during and after the course of treatment. The informed consent form, treatment quotation and administrative documentation also allow patients to understand the clinical and financial aspects of the treatment before starting the procedure.
