Chemical Peel

A chemical peel applies a controlled exfoliating solution — typically an acid such as glycolic, salicylic or a blended formula — to remove the outermost skin cells and encourage fresher, smoother skin to surface. It can improve dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, congestion and the look of pigmentation. At Amaryllis Beauty Institut the peel strength is selected by MUDr. David Pupala, who is certified in chemical peeling, to match your skin and goals.

A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliating treatment in which a solution of acids — such as glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic or trichloroacetic acid, or a blended formula — is applied to the skin to loosen and remove the outermost layers of dead and damaged cells. As the surface sheds, smoother, fresher skin is revealed and the natural renewal process is stimulated, which over a course of treatments can improve dullness, rough texture, fine lines, congestion, enlarged-looking pores and the appearance of uneven pigmentation. Peels are graded from superficial to deeper, and the right strength depends on the skin concern and skin type. At Amaryllis Beauty Institut in Cheb the treatment begins with MUDr. David Pupala, who is certified in chemical peeling, cleansing the skin and assessing it before selecting an appropriate peel. The solution is applied for a measured time and then neutralised or removed; you may feel tingling or warmth during application. After a superficial peel the skin is often pink and may flake or peel lightly over the following days, while deeper peels involve more visible shedding and longer recovery. Diligent sun protection is essential afterwards, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet light. A course of several peels spaced a few weeks apart usually gives the best, most even result, with maintenance treatments as needed. Peels are not carried out on active infections or over broken skin and are approached cautiously in pregnancy; suitability and a suitable strength are decided at consultation.
