Skin exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells from the surface layer of the skin to improve texture, appearance, and overall skin health. This procedure plays a crucial role in dermatology and cosmetology by promoting cellular regeneration and enhancing the penetration of active ingredients in cosmetic products. This article discusses various exfoliation methods, including mechanical, chemical, enzymatic, and physical exfoliation, examining their indications, contraindications, and potential side effects. The primary aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of modern exfoliation techniques and emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate method based on skin type and individual patient needs. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of these procedures, particularly for specific skin conditions and types.
