Peelings
In peeling, we apply a liquid solution to the skin. This solution consists of one or more acids capable of penetrating superficially to deeply into the skin. Layer by layer, they soften the skin.
What is a Peeling?
We speak of an exfoliation because skin cells change when they come into contact with an acidic solution. As a result, they can no longer function and the skin flakes off.
The strength of this treatment depends on several factors, including the concentration and pH of the acid. The lower the pH, the more intense it works. For this reason, a higher percentage does not say everything about the strength of a peel. At our clinic, we use the high-quality peels.
The specialist discusses your skin type, skin problems and expectations. We then analyze the skin to determine the appropriate concentration. Before applying the peel, the specialist will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove makeup, sebum and dirt. Next, we degrease the skin with a lotion so that the acid of the peel better penetrates your skin.
A chemical peel contains a high concentration of acid. This can be glycolic acid, salicylic acid or lactic acid, for example. As a result, the dead skin cells will loosen more easily and make room for fresh radiant skin.

Frequently asked questions about Peelings
How many treatments do I need?
For visible results, a course of 3 to 6 treatments is usually advised, with 2 to 4 weeks between each session. This varies by skin type and goal.
Can I wear makeup immediately after a peel?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to recover. Always use an SPF 30 or higher after treatment.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Provided properly performed, peels are safe. Temporary redness, slight swelling or flaking are normal. More reaction may occur in sensitive skin. Avoid sun and harsh products until the skin has recovered.
Who is a peel not suitable for?
Peelings are not recommended for:
- Active skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea,
- Pregnant women depending on the type of exfoliation,
- Use of certain medications (such as isotretinoin).
During the consultation, we assess whether a peel is safe for you.
