Chemical Peel

A peel may cause tingling or a feeling of warmth during application.

How it feels depends on the formula used, your skin's sensitivity and the selected protocol.

Depending on the peel used, the skin may show redness, tightness, dryness or temporary flaking.

Some formulas cause very few visible reactions, while others lead to more noticeable flaking.

Your Skin Expert will explain what to expect before the session.

No.

The term "peel" does not necessarily mean that the skin will visibly peel. The reaction depends on the formula used, your skin and the protocol carried out.

Exfoliation and skin renewal can take place without significant flaking.

It depends on the selected peel.

Some protocols allow you to return to your activities immediately, while others may cause redness or flaking for several days.

Radiance and softer skin may be visible quickly after certain peels.

For pigmentation, marks or texture, the improvement is generally gradual and may require several sessions.

The number of sessions depends on your skin, the selected peel and your goal.

A course of at least 3 sessions may be recommended to gradually address a specific concern.

The interval between sessions depends on the formula used and how your skin reacts.

Your Skin Expert will set the right frequency to give your skin the time it needs to recover between sessions.

Certain peels can help improve the appearance of certain spots and pigmentation irregularities by supporting skin renewal.

However, not all pigmentation should be approached in the same way. Its origin must be taken into account before selecting the treatment.

Yes, certain peels can improve the pigmentation marks left by acne, as well as certain superficial texture irregularities.

For deeper or pitted acne scars, other treatments may be more suitable.

It depends on the type of acne, its severity and the peel being considered.

Some formulas can be helpful for blemish-prone skin, while certain inflammatory situations require the treatment to be postponed.

The prior skin assessment will determine the right approach.

A peel does not permanently change the anatomical size of pores.

However, by improving exfoliation and skin texture and reducing the build-up of cells on their surface, it can make them appear less visible.

Peels can be offered on different skin types, but not all formulas suit every skin in the same way.

The choice of peel and protocol must take into account your skin type and the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation in particular.

Sun protection is essential after a peel.

Direct sun exposure must be avoided for the period indicated by your Skin Expert, and high sun protection must be applied to limit the risk of pigmentation irregularities in particular.

A gentle routine is recommended during recovery.

Certain potentially irritating or exfoliating actives must be temporarily stopped. Your Skin Expert will tell you exactly when to resume your usual routine.

Yes. Depending on your skin and your goals, a peel can be part of a programme that includes other Innerskin treatments.

Combinations and intervals between sessions are set to respect your skin's sensitivity and recovery.

As a precaution, Innerskin does not perform peels during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

A chemical peel is not suitable in every situation.

The treatment may be postponed in the presence of irritated or damaged skin, an active skin infection, active cold sores, recent sunburn or certain skin conditions in an inflammatory phase.

Certain medications, particularly those that can affect the skin's sensitivity or ability to recover, as well as certain recent aesthetic treatments, must be disclosed before the session.

Recent or planned sun exposure may also require certain peels to be postponed.

As a precaution, Innerskin does not perform this treatment during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

A prior skin assessment checks that the selected peel is suitable for your skin.
