Medical Chemical Peels

Medical chemical peels apply a controlled acid solution to exfoliate the skin and accelerate cell turnover, improving tone, texture, fine lines, congestion and pigmentation. The clinic offers a range of strengths — from gentler almond, glycolic and salicylic peels through to deeper Jessner and TCA — selected to suit your skin and concern. Most peels share a single session price, with stronger TCA and pigmentation-focused options priced separately, and a short series gives the best result.

A chemical peel uses a solution of carefully chosen acids to remove the outer layers of dead and damaged skin in a controlled way, prompting fresher, more even skin to surface and stimulating renewal beneath. Lighter peels mainly refresh the surface for brighter, smoother skin, while medium-depth peels reach further to address fine lines, sun damage, uneven tone and more stubborn congestion. At Medycyna Piękna the physician or cosmetologist assesses your skin and selects an appropriate agent and strength — options include almond, salicylic and glycolic acids, Jessner and pyruvic solutions, PQ Age, and stronger trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels for more pronounced concerns. The skin is cleansed and prepared, the peel applied for a set time and then neutralised or left to work depending on the protocol; a session takes around thirty to forty-five minutes. Depending on depth you may experience tingling, redness and, over the following days, flaking or peeling as the skin renews — diligent moisturising and strict daily sun protection are essential afterwards. Lighter peels suit a refresh with minimal downtime, while deeper peels need more recovery and are spaced further apart. A short series spaced a few weeks apart usually gives the best result for tone, texture and pigmentation, and peels combine well with the clinic's other skin treatments. Suitability, your skin type and any contraindications are assessed beforehand, and peels are avoided over active infection and in pregnancy for certain agents.
