Chemical Peels (Medical)

Medical chemical peels that use targeted acids to exfoliate the skin and improve tone, texture, blemishes and pigmentation. The clinic offers a range of formulations — including azelaic, mandelic and ferulic acids, a melasma-focused peel and Hyalual peels — so the strength and active can be matched to your skin and concern. Peels suit dull, congested or uneven skin and are associated with the best results as a short course.

A chemical peel applies a solution of one or more acids to the skin to loosen and remove dead surface cells and prompt renewal of fresher skin beneath. Depending on the active and strength, peels are associated with brighter, smoother skin, a more even tone, fewer blackheads and clogged pores, and a gradual improvement in pigmentation and the look of fine lines. At Piękne Ciało the skin is cleansed and the chosen peel applied for a controlled time before being neutralised or removed; a session takes around twenty to forty minutes. Lighter peels cause little more than mild tingling and a touch of redness, while stronger or layered protocols can lead to a few days of flaking or light peeling as the skin renews. The clinic offers a broad menu — azelaic (AZELAC), mandelic (MANDELAC), ferulic (FERULAC), a melasma-focused peel (MELASPEEL R), a retinol-based yellow peel, Hyalual clarifying and glow peels, and an amber peeling — applied to the face, neck and décolletage. Because results are cumulative, a course of several peels spaced two to four weeks apart usually gives the most noticeable improvement, and peels combine well with mesotherapy and microneedling. Diligent sun protection is essential afterwards. A skin assessment beforehand confirms the right peel and checks for contraindications; peels are avoided over active infection and in pregnancy depending on the active used.
