Chemical peelings

  1. Principle of action: Chemical peelings abrade (take off) the top layers of the skin and thus smooth the appearance of the skin.
  2. Used materials:
  3. Indikations: Acne, superficial lines, superficial scars, acne scars, pigment changes, skin impurities, tired-looking skin (leads to enhanced radiance of the skin).
  4. Preparation: for at least 2 weeks an AHA-cream needs to be applied to condition the skin. The skin 'lerns' to regenerate faster and thus the effects of the peel are much improved while side-effects are reduced.
  5. What to expect: The skin appears red immediately after the treatment and may feel very dry, tense and at times may peel off.
  6. Complications and unwanted side-effects: redness, tension and peeling of the skin, crust formation, superficial wounds (erosions), exacerbation of acne, pigment changes, especially upon UV-exposure (sunbed or natural light).
  7. Multiple treatments are typically necessary to achieve the desired effects, at intervalls of 2-4 weeks, depending on the substancel used.
