MEDICAL PEELS
Medical peels are professional procedures performed in aesthetic medicine clinics, which have incomparably stronger impact than peels available in drugstores. Such procedures allows not only for intensive exfoliation of the epidermis but also complex improvement of skin appearance and reduction of visibility of undesired skin lesions. Medical peel is matched to the type of skin and its current needs, which allows for individualised treatment.
Medical peel procedures consist in application of a preparation on a properly prepared skin. A physician decides which acids will be the best; they also adjust concentration of the acids and the time of their impact on the skin. In certain cases, the peel may be applied several times during one procedure – the preparation is applied for a specified time and washed off, after which another layer is applied. Such a wide range of possibilities in performing the procedure allows for achieving gradual impact of acids and an optimal effect.
WHAT RESULTS CAN BE ACHIEVED?
The results of peel procedures depend on the type of acid used. Superficial peels effectively exfoliate dead skin, so the skin regains its beautiful appearance and is thoroughly cleansed. These types of acid peels have gentle impact, so recovery after the procedure does not last long and comes down to proper care of the slightly reddened skin. Medium and deep peels exfoliate top layers of the epidermis and deeper layers of the skin, which allows for a more advanced improvement in appearance of the skin, including its rejuvenation and reduced visibility of many skin defects, such as hyperpigmentation or shallow scars.
Medical peels allow for deep exfoliation of the epidermis, which provides immediate brightening of the skin and smoothing its surface. The effect of such superficial peels can be seen immediately after the skin has healed. In case of deeper peels, the skin requires a longer process of exfoliation and healing. The effects of skin surface revitalisation are visible after healing, and in addition, after a series of procedures, smoothing of fine wrinkles and skin elasticity can be observed, which is the effect of stimulation of collagen fibres synthesis.
Medical peels are usually performed as a series – a fully satisfactory effect can be achieved by performing several procedures (usually from 4 to 6 procedures). Time of the entire treatment is individual and depends on the initial skin condition, the expected results and the type of exfoliating acids used. In case of light acid peels, the procedure may be repeated even every week, while deep medical peel procedures are performed at monthly intervals. If necessary, the treatment may be repeated. A reminder procedure is usually performed once every six months or once a year.
BEFORE AND AFTER GALLERY
Effects may be different in different Patients. It depends on natural physiognomy, advancement of the aging process and the preparation used. During the consultation, the Patient can inform about their expectations and together with a physician determine the best treatment plan.
I highly recommend!
PROCEDURE
During the consultation, we discuss the expected effect and chose the best method for the Patient. Before the procedure, an anaesthetic ointment is applied. During the procedure, an appropriate preparation is applied and then neutralised.
EFFECT
The effects of medical peels depend on the type of acids used. We always obtain deep exfoliation of the epidermis, which allows for achieving the effect of smooth, radiant complexion full of brightness. Peeling off deeper layers of the skin effectively reduces visibility of such undesirable skin lesions, as hyperpigmentation, shallow wrinkles and acne scars. Deep medical peels can also stimulate collagen and elastin fibre synthesis, which translates into increased skin thickness, elasticity and rejuvenation as well as lifting effect. Moreover, medical peels can be helpful in treatment of acne lesions, as well as in the reduction of dilated skin pores or increased skin seborrhoea. Medical peels performed on the body allow to make skin more elastic and reduce stretch marks.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE?
The procedure does not require much preparation.
Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or drugs 24 hours before the procedure.
Do not sunbathe for a week before the procedure.
RECOVERY
Healing process varies, depending on the preparation used. Redness, swelling and peeling of the skin may occur. In each case, a physician informs the Patient about the expected course of healing.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are not many contraindications to medical peels, but they must be taken into consideration. Below you will find the most important of them.
