Medical peel treatment
A medical peel is one of the effective tools in aesthetic dermatology for improving skin quality and treating a range of conditions including hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne, acne scars, sun damage, and signs of aging.
The treatment uses medical acids at different concentrations and depths to create a controlled process of peeling and skin renewal. The outer layer is renewed, cell turnover accelerates, and collagen and elastin production is encouraged — improving texture, tone evenness, and overall quality.
The clinic uses a range of advanced medical peels tailored personally to skin type, patient condition, season, and treatment goals.

What is a medical peel?
A medical peel is a treatment based on medical acids at various concentrations, acting on different skin layers according to the depth required.
Depending on acid type and depth of action, a wide range of skin concerns can be treated, including pigmentation, melasma, active acne, acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.

Questions & answers
How does the treatment work?
A medical peel creates controlled peeling of skin layers using medical acids. This encourages skin cell renewal, accelerates turnover, and supports collagen and elastin production — improving quality, texture, and tone.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The treatment is suitable for women and men who want to improve skin quality and address pigmentation, melasma, acne, acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, or uneven tone.
How is the treatment performed?
After a medical assessment and selection of the appropriate type of peel, the treatment is performed using a medical peel solution tailored to the skin type, the condition being treated and the treatment goals. The exposure time is determined according to the treatment protocol and the skin's response. At the end of the treatment, detailed instructions for home care and sun protection are provided, which are an integral part of the treatment's success.
Are all peels the same?
No. Medical peels differ in acid type, concentration, and depth of action. Peel choice is made according to skin type, the concern treated, and treatment goals.
How many treatments are needed?
The number varies by concern, peel depth, and skin response. Sometimes a single treatment is enough; in other cases a series is recommended.
When can results be seen?
Some peels show improvement within days; deeper treatments continue to improve over several weeks as part of natural skin renewal.
Can medical peels be done in summer?
It depends on peel type and skin type. Some peels can be performed in summer with daily sun protection and avoidance of direct UV, per medical guidance.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Medical peels are often combined with microneedling, polynucleotides, PRP and iPRF, biostimulators, and other treatments as part of a personalized plan.
Is there a recovery period?
Recovery varies by peel type and depth. After some peels there may be redness, dryness, or mild peeling for several days; deeper peels may require a longer recovery.
What are the possible side effects?
After treatment, redness, mild stinging, dryness, peeling, sensitivity, or mild swelling may occur, depending on peel type and depth. These effects are expected and usually resolve within a few days.
As with any medical treatment, rarer risks and side effects also exist. Before each treatment, a medical consultation assesses suitability and fully explains benefits, risks, and possible side effects as part of informed consent.
In summary
Medical peels can address a wide range of skin concerns — from pigmentation and melasma to acne, signs of aging, and dull skin.
The goal is significant, safe, gradual improvement in skin quality with personalization for each patient.
