What does a chemical peel entail?

A chemical solution exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells, and stimulates natural cell renewal. This activates the recovery process, creating new, healthier skin cells. The result: smooth, radiant skin with an improved texture. Our peels are suitable for almost all skin types and ages.

The treatment

The skin therapist carefully applies the chemical solution to your skin. The peel remains on the skin for a certain period, depending on the type of peel and your skin condition. You may experience a slight tingling or warm sensation.

Recovery at the clinic

If desired, you can take some time to relax before resuming your daily activities. The skin therapist will discuss with you what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days, so you know how best to care for the treated area.

Pre- and post-care

none provided
Before the treatment
Do not use tretinoin/retinol for 2 days before the treatment. Avoid intentional tanning of the skin and use SPF30+ daily. Come on the day of treatment with clean skin, free of makeup, cream, lotion, or perfume.
none provided
After the treatment
Avoid swimming pools and saunas for the first 5 days after treatment. Do not use active ingredients that may irritate for a few days. Only care for your skin with a mild cleanser, moisturizing cream, and SPF30+. Do not pick at the flakes on your face (scarring risk) and avoid direct sun for 1 week.
none provided
Recovery time
The recovery process varies per peel, depending on its depth. With a superficial peel, mild redness can last up to a few days. With a deep peel, redness can last up to 7 days with possible flaking. The skin therapist will inform you during the consultation about the specific recovery time.
none provided
Duration of results
The results of a superficial peel remain visible for approximately 3 months. The results of a treatment plan for a deeper peel are visible for up to approximately 6 months.

Chemical peels for various skin indications

A chemical peel can be effective for various skin problems. Below is an overview of the main indications where a peel can offer a solution.

  • An acne peel reduces pimples and inflammation. Acne arises from sebum overproduction that clogs pores. The peel removes dead skin cells and keeps pores open, preventing blockages and inflammation. Its antibacterial action helps prevent acne. The treatment lasts 45 minutes and contains glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid.

  • Dull skin lacks radiance due to insufficient hydration, vitality, and accumulation of dead skin cells. This is caused by age, stress, or pollution. A peel removes dead skin cells and reveals the underlying, healthier skin layer. It also stimulates the production of new skin cells that replace the old, dull skin. The treatment lasts 30 minutes and contains glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid.

  • Pigmentation spots arise from uneven melanin production due to sunlight, age, hormones, genetics, or scars. Peels reduce these spots by removing the uppermost skin layer containing the most pigmented skin cells. The treatment lasts 45 minutes and contains salicylic acid, azelaic acid, ferulic acid, citric acid, phytic acid, resorcinol, lactic acid, kojic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA).

  • Fine lines and wrinkles arise from skin aging, accelerated by smoking, dehydration, and sunlight. Collagen production decreases, causing the skin to lose volume and elasticity. Peels reduce wrinkles by removing the uppermost skin layer and stimulating the production of new skin cells and collagen, which smooths the skin. The 45-minute treatment with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) varies in intensity. The skin therapist will discuss which peel is suitable.

  • Redness arises from sensitivity, inflammation, temperature fluctuations, or irritating products. Peels reduce redness by removing dead skin cells, calming the skin, and reducing inflammation. They improve the skin barrier against external influences and stimulate cell renewal for better protection. The 30-minute treatment with mild ingredients (mandelic acid, azelaic acid) is suitable for sensitive skin.

  • Dermamelan tackles stubborn pigmentation spots (melasma, age spots, hormonal discolorations) at the source. After preparation, the mask is applied at the clinic (4-12 hours of activation) and removed at home. This is followed by a 4-month home treatment plan with depigmenting products. During the first few days, redness, tightness, and flaking may occur. This peel requires regular check-ups (every 4-6 weeks) and daily SPF 50.

  • Impure or dehydrated skin results from the accumulation of dead cells and lack of hydration. HydraPeel combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration via a vacuum device that removes impurities and infuses serums (hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, peptides). This promotes cell renewal and refines skin texture. Immediate results: hydrated, radiant skin. Mild redness disappears within hours. The 20-30 minute, painless treatment with no downtime can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.

  • Fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation spots, and acne scars arise from skin aging and damage. TCA peel with trichloroacetic acid penetrates deeply, removes dead cells, and stimulates collagen production for tighter, smoother skin. After preparation with home products, redness and flaking follow (days 2-7). Result: firmer, more refined skin with a glow.

  • Fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness around the eyes arise from the thin, sensitive skin and aging. The Periocular peel gently renews and cares for the eye area, sometimes combined with microneedling and serum (hydration, pigment correction, firming). The almost painless treatment gives a slight tingling sensation. Results within a few treatments: smoother, tighter eye area with reduced dark circles and sagging.

Frequently asked
questions

Find immediate answers to questions about treatments, costs, and recovery.

  • Prior to a chemical peel, it is recommended to prepare the skin with the appropriate home care products. These home products contain the same or similar ingredients as professional peels but in lower concentrations. This ensures a safer and more effective treatment. It is not recommended to expose the skin to sunlight or to wax it before a peel.

  • This depends on your personal skin needs and goals. Schedule a consultation with our skin therapist to find out which of our peels will provide you with the best results.
