Chemical Peeling Method<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chemical peeling is a method that uses acids such as AHA, BHA, TCA to remove dead skin cells and old horny layers on the skin&#8217;s surface. This not only helps to deeply clean pores but also stimulates new cell growth, reduces acne scars and improves skin texture.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on the skin condition, you can choose a shallow peel (gently exfoliates), a medium peel (treats dark spots, melasma) or a deep peel (treats pitted scars). After peeling, the skin is more sensitive, so it is necessary to moisturize, protect against the sun carefully and avoid irritating products for optimal results.<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3263\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3263\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3263\" src=\"https:\/\/hbioclinic.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peel-da-hoa-hoc-giup-tai-tao-da-mo-tham-va-deu-mau-hieu-qua.jpeg\" alt=\"Chemical peel helps regenerate skin, reduce dark spots and even skin tone effectively\" width=\"600\" height=\"324\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3263\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chemical peel helps regenerate skin, reduce dark spots and even skin tone effectively<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>8.
