FAQ
What is a chemical peel?
Experience the rejuvenating power of a chemical peel, an intensive and effective treatment that gently removes and renews the top layer of the skin. Over several weeks, your skin undergoes a transformation process, revealing a significantly more vibrant and youthful appearance. At Dermaesthetik Hautärzte, we use highly effective fruit acids in multiple sessions to stimulate regeneration and cell renewal by removing dead skin cells. Chemical peels come in various types, differing in composition and concentration. The choice of peel depends on your skin type, the depth of wrinkles, and individual sensitivity.
Why are chemical peels so popular?
Through the gentle removal of the upper layers of the skin, chemical peels effectively eliminate impurities and comedones. Additionally, they stimulate collagen production and promote cell renewal. This treatment is particularly suitable for addressing irregular pigmentation and fine lines in areas such as the cheeks, chin, and nasolabial region (marionette lines). For the treatment of very deep wrinkles, we offer additional options such as a skin booster or hyaluronic acid, which can be selected according to your preferences and desired results.
What are the benefits of a chemical peel?
This procedure involves the removal of dead skin cells and activation of new cell production, resulting in smoother and more even skin.
What potential risks and side effects should I consider?
Common side effects observed with a chemical peel include redness, mild swelling, and a burning sensation during and immediately after the treatment. These reactions are completely normal and integral to the process and do not cause any concern. After your chemical peel, it's important to follow certain precautions. For example, avoid intense sunlight or heat, including sauna visits, for a few weeks.
How does the peeling work?
First, we cleanse your skin before starting the chemical peel. The peel is applied to the designated areas using a specialized brush and may cause a mild or moderate burning or tingling sensation temporarily depending on the type of peel used. After a brief exposure time, the peel is removed, and a soothing mask is applied. Your skin relaxes, the tingling subsides, and redness is relieved, while intense hydration and nourishing ingredients are simultaneously delivered. The entire treatment duration is about 60-90 minutes, depending on the peel. Subsequently, the actual regeneration process begins. Over the next few days and weeks, the top layer of the skin (stratum corneum) gently sheds off. You can expect initial results shortly and observe increasingly radiant skin.
Treatment of pigment spots
Are stubborn pigmentation spots such as sunspots, melasma, or discoloration from acne scars bothering you? Traditional cosmetics often cannot address such issues adequately. This is where depigmenting peels come into play, providing remarkable clinical results and being well tolerated even by sensitive skin. Pigmentation spots and skin discolorations can arise from various factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, healing acne, and exposure to irritating substances. They may become more pronounced during menopause, puberty, or pregnancy.
What should I pay attention to before and after depigmentation treatment?
Before the treatment, it is advisable to avoid sunlight exposure and refrain from using irritating cosmetics such as fruit acids or peels. During and after the treatment, your skin is more sensitive to sunlight. It is crucial to consistently apply adequate sunscreen (at least SPF 50) and avoid direct sunlight. This precaution should be maintained long-term as the skin remains susceptible to pigmentation. Additionally, refrain from peels and other skin treatments that may cause irritation during the treatment phases.
How often should I undergo depigmentation treatment?
The majority of our patients typically experience a significant reduction in pigmentation spots after a single treatment. However, in certain cases, a second session may be recommended, especially if the desired outcome has not been fully achieved.
