Chemical peelPlanning the chemical peel treatment

During the chemical peel consultation, it is important to have a general overview of your health, previous skin treatments and allergic reactions.

Skin characteristics

The characteristics of the skin in terms of colour and oiliness are an important decision factor.

An improvement of the skin analysis using specialised imaging in ultraviolet and infrared modes, allows for better understanding of the problems related to sun damage, red marks and enlarged pores. This forms the basis of the decision regarding the best course of treatment.

Treatment design

Based on your skin characteristics and your preferences, it is possible to design a treatment protocol that will bring improvement and reduce the impact of ageing and sun damage on the appearance of the skin.

Sun protection

Regardless of the type of treatment chosen, adequate sun protection is important as a long-term plan for maintaining a youthful appearance of the skin.

Skin preparation

When approaching a medium depth peel with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) a period of preparation is frequently helpful, in particular for darker skin types, and a post-peel treatment will also be necessary.
