With this treatment we achieve:
removal of dead cells and impurities from the surface of the skin
stimulation of skin renewal and collagen production
a more even skin tone and improved radiance
softening of dark spots, acne scars and fine lines
cleansing and tightening of the pores
control of acne and oily skin
The result is cleaner, smoother, fresher skin with visibly improved texture and tone.
What does the treatment look like?
After examining and assessing the skin, the dermatologist chooses the appropriate type and strength of peel – the most commonly used are:
AHA acids (glycolic, lactic) – for refreshing and hydrating
BHA acids (salicylic) – for oily skin and acne
TCA – for deeper spots and scars
combinations of acids for targeted effects
The treatment takes about 20–30 minutes, is not painful and requires no recovery for lighter peels. Medium-depth peels may cause flaking and redness over the following few days.
Who is a chemical peel for?
A peel is recommended for people who want:
a refreshed look and an even skin tone
a treatment for acne, blackheads or enlarged pores
removal of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
treatment of the first signs of ageing
care for oily, rough or dull skin
The treatment is not recommended during active inflammation, for very sensitive skin or immediately before sun exposure.
At Menssana Hospital, chemical peels are performed exclusively by a physician – a dermatologist – who chooses the peel according to your skin type and needs. We ensure safety, expertise and monitoring of results throughout a series of treatments.
