Chemical peel

A chemical peel aims to renew the upper layer of skin with a controlled acid solution. For the look of spots, acne marks, fine roughness and dullness, the type and depth of acid are chosen for the skin.

What does a peel do?

Superficial peels reduce dead cells and a dull surface, and most people carry on with daily life. Medium-depth treatments do more for spots and acne marks, and peeling lasts a few days. Deep peels need a long recovery and are not suitable for every skin type.

Who should not have one?

An active cold sore, an open wound, a fresh sunburn and some medicines mean the peel is postponed. The wrong acid on darker skin can leave a mark. A deep procedure is not chosen for someone whose wounds have scarred before. Many acids are not recommended in pregnancy.

The recovery period

Warmth and tightness in the first days, then fine flaking, are expected. Crusts are not picked off. Hot water and the hammam are postponed. Moisturiser and sunscreen are not skipped. Makeup too early, or a peel on top of a peel, can increase pigmentation.

How many sessions?

Superficial care is planned as a series. A stronger session may be enough on its own, but the recovery allowance is longer. For pigmentation, a peel usually runs alongside a lightening cream and sun protection.

The suitable method is decided after examination. For an appointment you can call 0555 714 62 95 or write on WhatsApp.
