Chemical Peeling

Chemical peeling works by applying an acid solution — most commonly alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acid derived from sugar cane, or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid — to the skin surface. At a controlled concentration and contact time the acid dissolves the bonds holding dead stratum corneum cells together, accelerating their shedding and revealing the fresher, more evenly pigmented skin beneath. At higher concentrations the…

At DermaEsthetic the peel protocol begins with thorough skin cleansing to remove sebum and surface debris. MUDr. Šulcová then selects and applies the acid solution in a controlled, even layer; the solution is monitored for the correct contact time — typically two to eight minutes depending on concentration and skin sensitivity — before being neutralised and removed with water.

The clinic treats multiple areas: the face (full face or localised zones), neck, décolletage and back (for acne). For active acne and oily skin, salicylic acid is often preferred for its lipophilic (oil-soluble) property that allows it to penetrate pores. For pigmentation and photo-aging, glycolic acid or combined formulations are standard. Post-summer and pre-event skin preparation typically uses lower concentrations for a brightening effect with minimal…
