Medical peels for skin rejuvenation
Skin that looks tired is often not slack but dull: the top layer renews more slowly, lies less evenly and so reflects light unevenly. That is exactly the layer a peel works on.
Why this here does about it
From about thirty it takes longer for a skin cell to reach the surface from below. More dead cells are left lying, and they do not lie neatly. Light falling on them reflects in all directions, and that is what we see as dull.
A peel loosens that top layer in one go, so that the new layer beneath comes to lie more evenly. That is visible straight away and it is also why the effect is temporary: the skin simply carries on slowing down.
With repetition more happens. A series of peels also gets the production in the layer beneath going, and then it is not only about glow but about firmness too.
What is goes differently than usual
Strength to what your skin can take
From a superficial peel with no recovery time to a stronger one that peels for a few days. Which it becomes depends on your skin and on how many days you have.
Combines well
With needling in the same series: the peel on the top layer, the needling on the connective tissue beneath. Two layers, two kinds of result.
Maintenance rather than a course
Four to six to begin with, then every few months. It is a maintenance treatment and that is not a shortcoming.
What it gives you
Fresher, more even skin that reflects light more calmly, noticeable straight after the first session and firmer after a series. Deep lines and slackness fall outside this.

When you would choose something else
- A fold formed by muscle movement does not go away with this.
- With real laxity, tightening with laser is what is called for; a peel does not reach that layer.
- With a sensitive or damaged barrier we start with repairing and not with taking away.
What people asked about this.
The glow of one peel lasts weeks. The firmness a series builds lasts months, and after that it asks for maintenance. That is not a sales trick but how skin renewal works.
With a superficial peel, no; you are red for a few hours. With a stronger one you peel for a few days, and then we would rather not schedule it just before something important.
What we Medical peels use it for
Whether this suits you,
your skin will show.
Everything above applies to this concern in general. What is going on with you and whether this is the right route is established by the therapist at the skin consultation. If the answer is no, you hear that too.
