A deeper, brighter and more even complexion

A chemical peel is an effective yet controlled skin renewal treatment in which a carefully formulated acid solution is applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate skin’s natural regeneration process. The skin appears clearer, smoother and more radiant, with a fresher and more refined surface. A chemical peel is an excellent choice when you want to refresh the complexion, support healthy cell turnover and achieve a cleaner, more even and naturally glowing appearance – safely and professionally.

General

Chemical peels – an effective way to renew the skin
A chemical peel is a professional skincare treatment in which an acid solution (such as glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid) is applied to the skin to dissolve and remove dead surface cells. Chemical peels can be performed at different strengths and with different formulations. A light peel may be suitable for managing acne and improving mild skin concerns, such as uneven tone, while medium and deeper peels can address more advanced changes like lines, wrinkles and signs of ageing.
Stronger acid peels are typically performed by dermatologists and may involve downtime ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the depth of the treatment.

By exfoliating the upper layers of the skin, chemical peels remove dead cells and impurities while stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration process.
The result is a complexion that looks clearer, brighter and more even.
The type and concentration of acids are always selected according to the individual needs of the skin.

FAQ's

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure in which an acidic solution is applied to the skin to break down the bonds between old skin cells and effectively remove the uppermost, dead layers. Clearing away these cells reveals fresher skin beneath, encourages new cell formation and supports collagen production. Chemical peels can improve a wide range of skin concerns, such as wrinkles, acne scarring, general scarring, uneven pigmentation and UV damage. The depth and strength of the peel can be adjusted according to the skin concern and its extent. Chemical peels are traditionally divided into three levels: light, medium and deep peels.

Differences between the acids

Chemical peels are formulated with acidic solutions, but the acids used in skincare treatments are very different from the industrial acids people may associate with the word. In aesthetic treatments, the acids belong to either alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) or beta hydroxy acids (BHA). AHA acids are water-soluble and typically derived from sugar-rich fruits, while BHA acids are oil-soluble and often sourced from willow bark or sweet birch. The type of acid used in a chemical peel depends on the specific skin concern being treated. Although both AHA and BHA acids have exfoliating properties, each of them is particularly effective for different needs. For example, if the goal is to improve dry or sensitive skin and early signs of ageing, AHA acids are usually the preferred choice. BHA acids, on the other hand, are often more effective for managing active acne.

Does a chemical peel hurt?

You may experience mild stinging, tingling or itching while the peel is active, but most clients tolerate the treatment very well.

Is there anything I should be aware of after the treatment?

After any chemical peel, the skin is more sensitive to sunlight, so it is very important to use sunscreen daily and protect the skin from direct sun exposure. It is also recommended to use soothing, fragrance-free products and to avoid retinol, other acids and intense exercise that causes heavy sweating.

What kind of results can I expect?

Once your skin has fully recovered, you can typically expect a smoother, brighter and more radiant complexion with a more even tone.
