Have you thought about doing a chemical peel, but aren't sure what it really means? We get the idea! Many people who come to us at Estetikcentrum are curious about chemical peels, but wonder what it is that distinguishes it from a regular facial treatment. That's why we've created a little guide with everything you need to know before you book.
Benefits of chemical peeling
Let's start by clarifying what chemical peels actually are. In simple terms, a chemical peel is a treatment that goes a little deeper than a classic facial. It works by exfoliating the outermost skin cells, which starts the skin's own renewal process. The result is a more even skin tone, more radiance, fewer fine lines and a smoother texture. How amazing is that?
At Estetikcentrum , we offer both milder and stronger peels and the range of treatments varies depending on which peel you do. For example, we can use these particular facials to treat other skin problems as well, such as pigment spots, sun damage, acne scars or even age spots. It's like giving your skin a fresh start, from the inside out.
Are there any risks?
For us, it is important that our customers are always fully aware of how the treatments work, what the benefits are, but also any risks and side effects. A chemical peel starts a process in the skin, which means that it is completely normal to experience some dryness, flaking or redness afterwards. The skin may also feel a little more sensitive for a few days. This is especially common after stronger variants like Retinol Peel.
Is there any need to worry? No, quite the opposite! The fact that your skin reacts the way it does is a sign that the treatment is actually working in depth. At Estetikcentrum , we also only use professional products and always adapt the treatment to your skin's condition. So you never have to feel insecure. We are there all the way!
How to take care of your skin afterwards
As mentioned earlier, the skin is extra sensitive after a chemical peel and you need to take extra care of it. For starters, it's important to avoid strong sunlight for the next few days (sometimes longer) and to use mild products that are dermatologically tested. Our skin therapists will be more than happy to help you with the most suitable options and give you clear instructions for aftercare. This way, you know exactly how to care for your skin to get the most out of your treatment.
So what are you waiting for? Book a consultation and we'll tailor a plan to suit you! We're here to give you the skin you've always dreamed of!
