Medical Chemical Peel

A medical chemical peel applies a controlled exfoliating solution to the skin to remove dull surface cells and prompt renewal, improving texture, tone, pigmentation, congestion and the look of fine lines. At DermaConcept peels are selected and performed by a dermatologist, so the type and strength are matched to your skin and concern. Some people notice smoother, fresher skin after the first application, with the deeper benefits building over a short course of treatments.

A chemical peel uses a solution of exfoliating acids — such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic or trichloroacetic acid, chosen by strength and type — applied to the skin to dissolve the bonds between dead and damaged surface cells so they shed and reveal fresher skin beneath. Lighter, superficial peels brighten and smooth the very top layer with little to no downtime, while medium-depth peels reach further to address more stubborn pigmentation, sun damage, congestion, acne and fine lines, with a few days of visible flaking as the skin renews. Because peels are performed at DermaConcept by a dermatologist, the formulation and depth are matched to your skin type and goals, which is important both for results and for safety on Czech and international patients of varying skin tones. During the treatment the skin is cleansed and degreased, the peel solution is applied and left for a controlled time — often with a tingling or warm sensation — and then neutralised or allowed to self-neutralise depending on the product. A single application takes around twenty to thirty minutes. Afterward the skin may look slightly pink and feel tight, and with stronger peels there can be light flaking or peeling over several days; diligent moisturising and strict sun protection are essential while it renews, as freshly peeled skin is more sun-sensitive. Many people see a fresher, smoother result after the first peel, but the most noticeable improvement in tone, texture and pigmentation comes from a short course spaced a few weeks apart, with periodic maintenance. Peels suit adults wanting to refine texture, brighten dull or uneven skin, or help manage acne and congestion; they are avoided over active infection, on recently tanned skin and during pregnancy for certain acids, and the dermatologist confirms the right peel for you at consultation.
