Peeling science

Chemistry. Skin biology. Clinical judgement.

Discover the Society’s scientific resources through three complementary pathways: clinical indications, scientific publications and documented case reviews.

Science in 30 seconds

Understand

Connect the chemical agent, formulation and skin response. Read foundational science before moving to clinical applications.

Explore

Choose an indication, discover the Board’s available scientific contributions and examine clinical documentation with its context.

A scientific model, an educational lecture and a clinical observation answer different questions. Identify the source and the type of contribution before interpreting a claim.

From chemistry to skin response

A meaningful scientific reading connects the agent and its formulation with the indication, skin condition and observed response. Concentration alone is insufficient to describe a clinical procedure.

Structure your reading

Explore mechanisms, depth interpretation and skin barrier concepts through the scientific hub on chemicalpeeling.com. The functional depth model is presented there as an interpretative framework; distinguish the model from clinical study results.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start?

Start with the scientific foundations, then choose an indication or explore publications and case documentation.

Where can I find Board contributions?

The publications page links to available attributed frameworks and teaching resources. The Board page identifies the Society’s members and roles.

What is the difference between a model and a clinical result?

A model proposes a way to interpret mechanisms. A clinical result describes an observation under specified conditions. Each should be read in its own context.

Where can I continue my professional education?

Explore the Society’s training page and the educational events available on aesthetic.events.

Explore. Learn. Contribute.

Continue with the clinical indications, discover the available scientific contributions or connect with the Society about your professional interests.
