A chemical peel is a solution applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. The aim is to improve the appearance of the skin – for example by reducing age spots and evening skin tone.
In general, 3 types can be distinguished based on penetration level:
Phenol peels and TCA peels are performed in our clinic.
Attention! To achieve the best results, it is very important that you strictly follow all instructions both before and after the treatment.
Compared to natural or superficial peels a phenol peeling works much deeper on the top layer of the skin (papillary dermis). This substance removes damaged and dead skin cells to make way for new skin cells. At the same time, the underlying dermis is stimulated to produce new cells - a real boost for your collagen and elastin production!
Anyone who suffers from skin aging with fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, blemishes or even small (acne) scars can improve the skin structure with a chemical peel. It often provides a smoothing, lifting and/or tightening effect. This peeling is also often combined with other treatments such as lipofilling or a facelift.
A phenol peel penetrates the barrier where pigment is formed. It therefore addresses the following issues:
Radiant skin starts from within. Thanks to a TCA peeling you can blemishes, small scars, fine lines, spots, etc. fade in a medium way andstimulate cell renewal so that your skin starts to shine again.
Trichloroacetic acid peels (TCA) are a type of chemical peel used to treat a wide range of skin problems, including signs of aging, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and scarring. TCA peels are usually performed at medium strength by an aesthetic practitioner and require some recovery time but provide significant improvements in skin texture.
Anyone who suffers from the following:
The strength of the peel depends on the condition you want to treat. A light peel can remove the top layer of skin to treat sun damage and age spots. Treating moderate wrinkles and deep scars may require a stronger peel to remove more layers of skin.
We do not recommend a TCA peeling in the following cases:
Before a treatment is started, you will receive an extensive consultation from our aesthetic doctor. Treatment can only be started after a consultation.
First you will receive an extensive consultation from the aesthetic doctor. You will be informed about the effect, composition and what you can expect after the treatment. In addition, the possible complications and aftercare are discussed, which must be followed very carefully. This is the only way you will achieve the best results.
During your session, the aesthetic doctor will apply TCA solution to your skin. The acid then penetrates the upper layers of your skin to remove dead skin cells. This then stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells and collagen.
