What it involves
A medical chemical peel renews the skin's surface layer to improve spots, texture, marks and radiance. We select the active and concentration according to your skin type and goal, always with medical protocols and the aftercare guidance needed for a safe result.
Benefits
- Improves spots and texture
- More radiance
- Tailored medical protocol
Who is it for?
A medical chemical peel is indicated for people who want to improve sun spots or other forms of pigmentation, texture irregularities, superficial marks or dull skin. It is an excellent option for skin that needs a deeper renewal than everyday skincare can achieve.
Before going ahead, we always assess your skin type, skin history and any relevant conditions. It is not indicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and for darker skin tones we work with actives and concentrations carefully selected to minimise risk. That is why a prior consultation is always essential.
What the session is like
The session begins with a thorough facial cleanse to prepare the skin. We then apply the selected active — chosen according to your skin type and goal — allow it to work for the necessary time, and neutralise or remove it in a controlled manner. The whole process takes around thirty minutes and is performed comfortably in the clinic.
During the application you may notice a sensation of warmth, tingling or mild stinging, which is normal and temporary. Afterwards we will tell you exactly which products to use and what to avoid in the following days to ensure a safe and optimal result.
Results and how long they last
The cell renewal triggered by the peel takes place progressively in the days following the session. Some visible flaking may appear — more or less pronounced depending on the active and concentration used — and this is a natural part of the renewal process; it should never be forced or picked.
The resulting skin looks more even, radiant and with improved texture. The number of sessions recommended depends on your goal: some people see a good result from a single session, while for more complex concerns we plan a protocol of several sessions spread over time.
Aftercare
After a chemical peel, strict sun protection is essential: apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning — and reapply if you are outdoors — for at least the following weeks, as freshly renewed skin is particularly sensitive to UV radiation. Avoid intense direct sun exposure during this period.
It is also important not to use exfoliants or irritating actives (retinoids, acids) until the skin has fully recovered, and to keep it well hydrated with the products we recommend. If flaking appears, moisturise generously but do not pick at it; let it fall away naturally.
