Chemical Peel — Face

Professional chemical peel for the face selected by the treating physician — from superficial glycolic or salicylic acid for texture refinement to medium-depth TCA for significant pigmentation and photoageing correction.

Upgrade Clinic offers chemical peels from 1,500 CZK (approximately 60 EUR) for a standard superficial peel to 2,500 CZK (100 EUR) for a medium-depth or specialist formulation. The treating dermatologist selects the appropriate acid type, concentration, and depth based on the patient's skin type (Fitzpatrick classification), specific concerns, and available recovery time. Superficial peels using glycolic acid (AHA) are the entry point — suitable for regular monthly maintenance, general skin brightening, and mild pigmentation. Salicylic acid peels (BHA) are selected for oily, acne-prone, or comedonal skin, as salicylic acid is lipophilic and penetrates the follicle itself. Medium-depth TCA peels (10 to 30% TCA) address more established photoageing, significant post-acne hyperpigmentation, and deeper texture concerns — these involve more visible peeling over five to seven days but produce results that require far fewer sessions than superficial peels for the same endpoint. At the 1,500 to 2,500 CZK price range, chemical peels at Upgrade Clinic are accessible for both standalone treatments and as part of a multi-treatment visit. The clinic positions peels as part of a treatment sequence — often recommended before or after injectable sessions to maximise overall skin quality improvement within a single visit. Post-peel care instructions are provided with all treatments, covering appropriate moisturiser choices, SPF requirements, and temporary avoidance of retinoids and exfoliants during the recovery phase. Patients should plan for mild redness and flakiness lasting two to five days after a superficial peel, and more pronounced desquamation over five to seven days after a medium-depth peel.
