Chemical peels – Skin Beauty
Tailored chemical peels for your skin type – ideal for pigmentation, blemishes, sun damage or fine lines. For smoother, clearer and more even skin.
Indication
Our skin is the body’s largest organ and plays a central role in our external appearance. Environmental influences, sun damage, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process can lead to pigmentation disorders, dull skin, fine lines, impurities, or an uneven complexion. A medical-grade chemical peel can effectively improve skin texture, stimulate cell renewal, and visibly refine the complexion.
Chemical peels for improved skin appearance
Through the gentle removal of the upper skin layers, chemical peels can reduce irregularities and pigmentation, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
We use gentle, non-shedding chemical peels. The choice of peel is tailored to your skin type and individual needs. Each treatment lasts about 60 minutes and is ideally carried out in a series of sessions. A slight tingling or warming sensation during the procedure is normal.
Procedure
Skin cleansing
Before the actual chemical peel, the skin is thoroughly cleansed. Makeup, dirt, and oil are removed to ensure optimal preparation for the peel. This step is essential to allow the active ingredients to penetrate the skin evenly.
Application of the acid
After cleansing, the selected acid is carefully applied to the areas being treated. We ensure that it is distributed evenly to achieve uniform results.
Peeling time and neutralisation
The peeling time varies depending on the type of chemical peel and your skin’s individual needs. Once the appropriate time has passed, the acid is neutralised or removed to complete the treatment and protect the skin from further irritation. A cooling mask is then applied.
Aftercare and result
After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red. Soothing care and consistent sun protection are especially important at this stage. Within a few days, the skin appears fresher, smoother, and more even. A visible and lasting improvement usually develops over the course of a multi-session peel series.

Frequently asked questions about chemical peels
Who Are Chemical Peels Suitable For?
Chemical peels are a popular choice for addressing a variety of skin concerns. They are often used to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation spots. However, there are several additional situations in which a peel can be beneficial:
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Blemished or congested skin
- Overall improvement of skin texture and appearance
What is the difference between the various chemical peels?
They differ in composition and treatment goals:
- Gel Peel is ideal for early signs of aging or blemishes and excellent for beginners. No visible skin-shedding.
- Micropeel offers deeper yet gentle renewal in multiple steps – perfect for pretreated skin. No visible skin-shedding.
- Pigment Balancing Peel targets pigmentation, sun-damaged skin, and uneven tone. No visible skin-shedding.
- PRX-T33 Peel is an innovative, biorevitalising treatment combining TCA, hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid to deeply stimulate the skin without damaging the surface. Ideal for aging, reduced elasticity, acne scars, and pigmentation – all without downtime and skin-shedding.We’ll advise you on the best option for your skin.
How often should I get a peel?
Depending on your skin and goals, we recommend a course of 4–6 treatments every 7 to 14 days, followed by maintenance sessions at longer intervals.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
Light, non-comedogenic makeup is usually fine from the next day.
Are there any contraindications?
Yes. Chemical peels are not recommended in cases of active skin inflammation, open wounds, severe rosacea, pregnancy, or certain medications (e.g. isotretinoin). A thorough skin consultation is carried out beforehand.
Can chemical peels be done all year round?
Gel Peel and PRX-T33 Peel can be used all year with proper sun protection. Micropeel and Pigment Balancing Peel are best suited for autumn and winter to reduce risks like pigmentation shifts.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes, our chemical peels are ideal for preparing the skin for treatments such as medical microneedling or Morpheus8™. The combination is tailored to your skin condition.
Is the treatment painful?
You may feel a light burning or tingling during application. This is normal and subsides quickly after neutralisation.
When are results visible?
The results of chemical peels are not immediately noticeable. It takes some time for the skin to regenerate and for the positive effects to appear. Depending on the type and intensity of the peel, initial improvements can be seen within a few days to a few weeks. Chemical peels provide a comprehensive enhancement of the overall skin appearance.
What happens if I don’t follow the aftercare instructions?
Inadequate aftercare – especially lack of sun protection – can worsen the skin and compromise the results. We will provide a personalised skin care plan.
