Chemical Peel

A professional chemical peel using controlled acid application to exfoliate the outer skin layers, improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate cell renewal for a brighter, smoother complexion.

Chemical peels at BEAUTYSHAPE Clinic use controlled application of acid solutions to induce measured exfoliation of the epidermis and, for medium-depth peels, the upper papillary dermis. The clinic offers a range of peel depths and formulations tailored to the patient's skin type, concerns, and tolerance level. Common active agents include glycolic acid (AHA) for general rejuvenation, salicylic acid (BHA) for acne-prone and oily skin, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid) for more intensive resurfacing. The procedure begins with skin cleansing and degreasing, followed by controlled application of the chosen acid solution. The physician monitors the skin's reaction throughout the application, timing the exposure and neutralising the acid when the desired endpoint is reached. Superficial peels produce mild erythema and fine flaking over two to three days, while medium-depth peels involve more significant peeling over five to seven days. Chemical peels address multiple skin concerns simultaneously: uneven pigmentation and sun spots, fine lines and rough texture, enlarged pores, mild acne scarring, and overall dullness. The controlled injury triggers the skin's wound-healing cascade, stimulating production of new collagen and fresh, evenly pigmented skin cells. At 2,000 CZK (approximately 80 EUR), BEAUTYSHAPE's chemical peel pricing makes professional-grade peels accessible for regular maintenance. Dermatologists typically recommend a series of three to six superficial peels for optimal results, or individual medium-depth peels at longer intervals. The clinic advises strict sun protection for two weeks following any peel, as newly revealed skin is photosensitive. Chemical peels are an effective standalone treatment but also work well as a preparatory step before other aesthetic procedures, as freshly resurfaced skin absorbs topical products more effectively and responds better to laser and injectable treatments.
