Chemical Peel (Chemický peeling)

Chemical peels at Plastická chirurgie A-Z are used as a non-invasive resurfacing treatment for patients with early wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dull texture — recommended by the clinic for patients from their 30s onward. Applied by surgical staff in a medical setting, the peeling agent is selected based on skin type and the depth of improvement required: superficial glycolic or lactic acid peels for texture and glow, and medium-depth trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels for more significant wrinkle and pigmentation correction.

Chemical peeling uses controlled application of a chemical exfoliant to remove the outer skin layers, stimulating the body's natural regenerative response. New skin that forms during healing is smoother, more evenly pigmented, and demonstrates improved collagen architecture. The treatment has a decades-long track record as an effective skin-quality intervention before injectable treatments came to dominate the aesthetics landscape — and retains relevance because it delivers real histological improvement rather than just surface hydration. At Plastická chirurgie A-Z, chemical peels are positioned for patients in their 30s and older whose skin is beginning to show early fine lines, surface roughness, uneven pigmentation, or post-acne marks. The clinic's medical setting allows stronger agents to be used with appropriate monitoring compared to salon-grade peels. Peel options include: - **Superficial peels** (glycolic acid 20–50%, lactic acid, salicylic acid): no real downtime, gentle exfoliation. Series of 4–6 treatments for gradual improvement. - **Medium-depth peels** (TCA 20–35%): 5–7 days of peeling and redness; significant improvement in fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation in a single treatment. - **Deep peels** (phenol): rare, requires full medical monitoring; achieves the most dramatic results but with 2–3 weeks downtime. Because the clinic also offers laser resurfacing and surgical procedures, the treatment is often positioned as part of a multi-modal approach: peel for texture and pigmentation, laser for deeper ablation, and surgery for structural correction. Post-peel care includes gentle cleansing, prescribed barrier-repair moisturiser, and strict SPF 50+ daily application for three months. Patients should not use retinoids, AHAs, or scrubs for two weeks before the peel. Results from a medium-depth peel continue to improve over three to six months as collagen remodelling proceeds.
