Thanks to different acid strengths, it is effective on spots, acne marks, dullness, fine wrinkles and uneven skin tone.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
The special solution creates controlled exfoliation in the upper skin layer. This speeds up cell renewal, supports collagen production and reveals fresher skin. As a result the skin looks brighter, livelier and smoother.
How Does the Treatment Proceed?
The skin is cleansed and prepared with toners first. The chosen peel solution is then left on the skin for a set time. You may feel slight tingling, but it is usually comfortable. Finally the skin is soothed with moisturising and protective products.
What Happens to the Skin Afterwards?
Depending on the depth of the peel, mild redness, a feeling of tightness and minimal flaking may appear. This is a natural sign that the skin is renewing itself. Within a few days the skin looks brighter, more balanced and clearer.
Which Skin Concerns Is It Used For?
A chemical peel is effective for many concerns, including sun spots, uneven pigmentation, blackheads, enlarged pores, acne marks, dullness, fine lines and a tired complexion. It can also be used to make your skincare routine more effective.
How Many Sessions?
The number of sessions depends on your skin and goals. Light peels may need 1 to 3 sessions, medium peels 3 to 6. Sessions are usually 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Advantages of a Chemical Peel
Quick, effective results, no disruption to social life, a more even skin tone and fewer signs of ageing are its main advantages. After treatment the skin absorbs skincare products better and overall skin quality improves noticeably.
Frequently asked questions
Does a chemical peel hurt?
You may feel slight burning or tingling during the treatment, but most people complete it comfortably.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
Make-up is fine once redness and sensitivity have eased, after the first 24 to 48 hours.
Is peeling afterwards normal?
Yes. Light flaking is expected, especially after medium-depth peels, and shows that the skin is renewing.
Can it be done in any season?
Low-strength peels can be done all year round, but stronger peels are best done when sunlight is weaker.
Results vary from person to person. Whether this treatment is right for you is decided together with our specialist at your consultation.
