Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are gaining in popularity because they offer visible results in a short space of time, improving skin texture and giving it a long-lasting radiance. Used for over 20 years, the chemical peel technique involves the application of a chemical product that acts on the skin's appearance by eliminating the superficial layers of the epidermis. The cost of a chemical peel varies according to the type and intensity of treatment.

What is a chemical peel?

Every day, a person loses several million dead skin cells. Unfortunately, the human body cannot completely eliminate these dead cells, leading to a gradual build-up that prevents the epidermis from renewing itself properly, and results in the appearance of numerous skin imperfections.

A peel is a medical aesthetic technique that involves applying an exfoliating liquid (or paste) to the skin, designed to remove the first layers covered with dead cells. This procedure produces a new skin by naturally reactivating collagen production and the formation of new cells. The cost of a chemical peel can vary according to the intensity and type of peel used.

There are different peel intensities depending on the product used. During the initial consultation, the professional will suggest the most suitable peel according to the skin's imperfections and the patient's phototype.

There are two types of peel at the Main d'Or clinic:
1- Gentle peels called "Quick Peel": Stimulating peel; Moisturizing peel; Brightening peel; Anti-acne peel.
2- Intermediate peels indicated to treat certain more marked facial skin imperfections.

The benefits of chemical peels

Light peeling offers a safe method of improving skin tone and texture without the need for a period of social inactivity. Repeated treatments can deliver effective results, making the cost of a chemical peel justified by the visible improvements to the skin. Intermediate peels, on the other hand, are a more invasive option that use stronger acids, which can result in higher chemical peel costs.

Our beauty clinic's advice:
BEFORE: Avoid the sun for 2 months before the peel to avoid pigmentary rebound (appearance of new brown spots). It is therefore necessary to apply a minimum 30+ or even 50+ sunscreen during the day.

Based on the professional's recommendation, a personalized list of cosmetics to be used at home will be given to the patient, following a precise protocol. This approach ensures that the skin is well prepared for the chemical peel treatment, maximizing results and preventing pigmentary rebound.

Certain medications are not recommended in combination with the peel; they must be stopped beforehand (antibiotics, oral or cutaneous anti-acne treatments and beta-carotene-based dietary supplements).

‍PENDANT: The treatment lasts 30 minutes. Depending on the product used for the peel, a burning or itching sensation lasting a few minutes or less may be unpleasant. Aeration of the skin can help calm the sensation, which passes fairly quickly.

‍APRÈS: A repair cream is applied to help the skin recover. Sunlight and UV rays are contraindicated for at least one month following the last treatment.

‍SUITS: No period of inactivity and no visible peeling after a "Quick Peel". Sometimes the skin remains red for a few hours after a gentle peel, but the next day the redness disappears. After an intermediate peel, the consequences vary according to the product used. The skin may be red with whitish streaks that disappear quickly, or there may be scabs that appear 2 to 3 days after the session. They vary in thickness depending on the depth of the peel. They fall off around 6 to 8 days later, giving way to new, pinkish skin. It is therefore difficult to show off during this period, as the scabs are sometimes difficult to hide, even with make-up.

‍Theresults expected from the services of our beauty clinic:
‍Dependingon the type of peel, results are more or less rapid:
Results from gentle peels appear gradually. In general, 3 to 5 sessions spaced 15 days apart are required to achieve excellent results. With repeated sessions, the skin becomes clearer, softer, and tends to become more toned.
Then, maintenance sessions will enable the results obtained to be maintained at a pace decided on a case-by-case basis.

As for the results of intermediate peelings, from the first session, as early as the second week, the skin appears "renewed", clearer, more even, and less oily. The number of sessions depends on the strength of the product and the skin defects to be treated. Expected results may vary according to the individual.
