Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are effective and adaptable skin care procedures, which uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin, improving its texture and appearance. Chemical peels can resolve a variety of skin problems, such as fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scars and uneven texture, depending on the kind and degree of the peel. This procedure helps to promote collagen synthesis and cell turnover in the skin, which enhances the appearance overall. At KClinics we work personalised with every client and select chemical peels to each person’s unique skin type and requirements according to its three intensity levels: superficial, medium, and deep. The depth of the peel affects recovery time and noticeable results.
Time:
30-60 min
Number of session:
3-6 sessions
Resultats:
few days
Duration between session:
2-8 weeks*
*The frequency of sessions depends on the type of peel. For superficial peels, sessions can be conducted every 2-4 weeks. Medium peels are recommended with an interval of 3-6 months, while deep peels should be done no more than once a year due to the longer recovery period required for the skin.
How does Chemical Peels work?
Chemical peels work by putting a carefully and personalised chosen chemical solution on the skin, which damages the skin’s outer layers in a regulated manner. This process triggers the skin’s natural healing reaction, and results in the outer layer of damaged skin being shed and new, healthy skin being generated. As a result you have clear, toned and silky skin.
Chemical peels come in a variety of forms, each with a unique strength and penetration depth:
These types of peels gently exfoliate the skin’s surface layer using moderate acids, such as beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Superficial peels are a great option for people who want to brighten their complexion and take care of small issues like dullness, fine wrinkles and light pigmentation.
Medium-depth peels penetrate the skin more deeply and reach the higher layers of the dermis. Usually employing more potent acids like glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), they work well on more serious skin conditions such mild to moderate wrinkles, UV damage and ageing pigmentation. After this peels you often need more time for recovery (7-14 days); during this time, the skin can flaky and more moisturising aftercare may be needed.
These are the most aggressive peels and they reach the dermal layers beneath the surface. They frequently call for the use of TCA with a high concentration or phenol. These peels are advised for serious skin problems such deep wrinkles, significant UV damage and noticeable pigmentation. The recovery period is lengthier, typically lasts several weeks and is accompanied by severe peeling and redness, but the results can be remarkable and long-lasting.
Our specialist will thoroughly assess the condition of your skin and choose the best option of peel that will suit your individual needs and helps achieve the best possible results.
Consultation with a specialist
Before starting the procedure we advise to have a consultation with our specialist, who will analyse your skin condition and determine the best locations for treatment.
Avoid suntan
Refrain from sun exposure and tanning beds 2-4 weeks before the procedures. Because the light targets pigmented parts of the skin, tanning increases the risk of burns or pigmentation during IPL treatment.
Arrive skin-clean
Don’t apply moisturisers, makeup, perfumes or any other products on the regions that will be treated on the day of your treatment.
Avoid clear or harsh treatments
Don`t do peelings, laser treatments and other harsh skin care procedures one week before the procedure.
Hydration
Use calming and moisturising cosmetics on the skin. This will improve the procedure’s effectiveness and help keep the moisture level of your skin.
Avoid the sun
Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight for the next two to four weeks after your treatment.
Steer clear of heat treatments
To prevent overheating of the skin, stay out of hot baths, saunas, hot tubs and physical activity for 48 hours following your treatment.
Calming the Skin
Your skin may feel irritated and red after the peel. Use items that are soft and calming, including aloe vera or certain moisturising creams that your cosmetologist recommended.
Avoiding active ingredients
Retinoids, acids, and other strong products that could irritate the skin should not be used for a week after the peel.
Avoid mechanical impact
Avoid touching your skin with your hands or removing any possible flaking that may come off after the procedure. Infections or scars may result from this.
