What it is – What it offers
Chemical Peel: a timeless method of skin resurfacing.
Chemical peel treatment is a timeless and highly effective method of medical skin resurfacing. It is based on the controlled removal of the damaged outer layers of the skin, revealing a new, healthy and smooth surface.
Chemical peels act far deeper than a simple exfoliation. The skin is dynamically stimulated and produces increased quantities of collagen and elastin — restoring lost firmness, erasing fine wrinkles and pigmentation.
- Easy & controlled: Fast procedure with predictable results.
- Deep action: Meaningful tightening, deep renewal and tone improvement.
- Comfort: Only a transient burning sensation during application.
- Personalised: Wide variety of medical acids for every individual need.

Beauty by Design
Controlled exfoliation. Fresh radiance.
Chemical peel removes damaged surface layers to reveal smoother, more radiant, evenly toned skin.
How the treatment is performed
The Chemical Peel procedure step by step.
Acid selection
According to skin type, the appropriate solution is selected: AHA/Glycolic for radiance, Salicylic/Azelaic for acne and oiliness, Kojic/Jessner for spots, TCA/Phenol for deep scars and wrinkles.
Solution application
The chemical solution is applied precisely to the treatment area for a specific time. Damaged cells are broken down in a controlled manner and then the peel is neutralised.
Preparation before treatment
How to prepare for Chemical Peel treatment.
Arrive with clean skin, free of any make-up.
Avoid intense sun exposure or sunbeds for at least one week beforehand. Discontinue use of retinol products or other strong exfoliants 3–4 days before the session, as directed by the doctor.

Recovery
What to expect after Chemical Peel treatment.
After the treatment, the plastic surgeon will give you detailed instructions on what you should and should not do, so that there are no surprises.
First hours & irritation
Redness, mild swelling or a tightening sensation may appear depending on peel depth. These symptoms are normal and subside gradually.
Peeling phase
When skin begins to peel, do not pull at it. Allow crusts to fall away naturally — forcibly pulling can cause lasting pigmentation changes.
What to strictly avoid
Avoid hot water when cleansing, excessive facial expressions immediately after, and sleeping face-down for the first few days.
Sun protection
Daily and diligent use of high-factor sunscreen (SPF) is mandatory to protect the new, sensitive skin layer.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Chemical Peels.
Frequency is determined by peel depth and indication. Superficial chemical peels can be repeated every 1–6 weeks, medium-depth peels every 3–6 months, and deep peels typically every 12–18 months.
Home peels are usually simple mechanical scrubs or cosmetics with low acid concentrations — far less effective. Medical chemical peels have high controlled concentrations, act on deeper layers and provide real, structural skin resurfacing.
Mechanism of action: A chemical peel achieves exfoliation through the chemical action of specialised acids (e.g. glycolic, salicylic), whereas microdermabrasion uses mechanical friction with microcrystals to remove cells. Depth of action: A chemical peel can penetrate to a significantly greater depth (medium or deep), making it suitable for pronounced acne scars, deep pigmentation and marked photoageing. Microdermabrasion, by contrast, acts more superficially, making it suitable for immediate radiance, refining open pores and smoothing early fine lines.
Temporary discomfort such as redness, light peeling or mild local swelling may occur. These depend on individual sensitivity and treatment depth, and subside when the plastic surgeon's aftercare instructions are followed.
The treatment must be performed exclusively by a specialised doctor using certified medical materials approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
