Chemical Peel

Chemical peeling at BESTÉE Clinic uses controlled application of exfoliating agents to remove damaged outer skin layers, stimulate cellular renewal, and improve texture, tone, and clarity. Under physician supervision, the depth and formulation of the peel are selected to the individual's skin type and concern — from superficial brightening peels for mild pigmentation and congestion to medium-depth peels targeting wrinkles, uneven tone, and acne scarring. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting with proper skin preparation, pH neutralisation, and aftercare protocols. At 5,000 Kč per session, the clinic's chemical peels are positioned as a physician-administered treatment rather than a salon service, with appropriate monitoring and correction options available.

Chemical peeling at BESTÉE Clinic is an in-clinic physician-supervised procedure that precisely disrupts the intercellular adhesion of specific skin layers, triggering controlled exfoliation and subsequent regeneration. The type and depth of peel selected depends on the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type, target concern, and downtime tolerance. The primary mechanism of chemical peels relies on the acidic compound penetrating to a targeted depth in the epidermis or dermis, causing protein denaturation and cellular detachment. As the treated layer sheds, the skin regenerates from the basal layer upward with improved collagen and elastin organisation, reduced pigmentation irregularities, and a smoother surface texture. At BESTÉE Clinic, peels are performed under aesthetic physician oversight, which allows use of higher-concentration formulations than salon-grade alternatives and enables monitoring of the reaction to prevent over-penetration. Available formulations typically span glycolic acid for surface brightening, salicylic acid for acne-prone skin, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for medium-depth resurfacing, and combination cocktail peels. Who benefits: patients with photoageing, fine surface lines, mild-to-moderate acne scarring, uneven skin tone, melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, closed comedones, and congested or dull skin. The clinic's dermatologist MUDr. Monika Manderlová (20+ years experience) provides additional oversight for patients with complex skin conditions. Preparation typically involves discontinuing retinoids and exfoliating products 5–7 days before treatment and applying a pre-peel conditioning regimen prescribed by the physician. After the procedure, skin may appear pink and undergo visible peeling for 3–7 days depending on depth. Sun avoidance and daily SPF 50+ application are mandatory during healing. Results from a single medium-depth peel typically persist 6–12 months; superficial peels are more effective in a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
