❣️ National Peel Day.

What kind of day is it?
👉🏻 National Peel Day serves to educate consumers about chemical peels, reduce the stigma surrounding this treatment, and convey the true facts about what a chemical peel can do for skin health and various skin problems.

Who created this day?
👉🏻 National Peel Day was established in 2020 by PCA SKIN® to celebrate 30 years as the market leader in chemical peels and to shine a spotlight on this not-so-scary treatment as an essential, non-invasive procedure for maintaining healthy skin.

🤝 CP Skin Health Group is an important partner of IPS. 🫶🏻

🤩 And with an outstanding session from the IPS, day 2 of IMCAS comes to a close.

The scientific contributions were outstanding. 👏🏻

And our community is growing daily. 💪🏻

Chemical peels are used in aesthetic medicine to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration processes, thus achieving a rejuvenating effect.

The following treatments are possible:
Improving the appearance of the skin
👉🏻 Smoothing fine lines and uneven skin texture
👉🏻 Treatment of acne or acne scars
👉🏻 Treatment of minor scars
👉🏻 Treatment of precancerous cell changes
👉🏻 Treatment of uneven pigmentation
👉🏻 Reduction of sun damage
Chemical peels are an alternative to laser therapies, dermabrasion, or surgical procedures.

They should only be performed by qualified medical professionals (plastic surgeons, dermatologists).

💐 Congratulations! 👏🏻

Dr. Fotini Bageorgou (Greece) has served as President of the IPS and today handed over the baton to Prof. Dr. Carlos Wambier (USA) at the General Assembly during IMCAS in Paris.

Prof. Wambier will now be supported by Prof. Dr. Felipe Ribeiro (Brazil), who was elected as the new Vice President.

Thank you, Dr. Bageorgou, for your many years of service as a board member and president.

We wish Prof. Wambier and Prof. Ribeiro every success in their new roles.
