Having beautiful, good-quality skin is not only important in terms of preventing cell damage. The skin says a lot about the body's health. Good skin quality therefore signals to the outside world that you are healthy and that you are taking care of your body.

There are a number of things you can do to get or maintain good skin quality. Often the best solution is to do several measures at the same time. Medical peeling is an effective way to get rapid skin improvement and is recommended in conjunction with the use of medical skin creams. The principle is quite simple: You use a peeling of diluted acid solution that "burns off" the outer layer of the skin. These are worn out and dead skin cells and peeling will therefore cause new and younger skin to emerge. The skin's outer cells stimulate the remaining cells, which leads to thicker, younger-looking skin of better quality. Peeling also means that good skin creams do not have to work their way through the dead skin cells, but can act directly on the cells they are intended for. Medical peels will therefore, in addition to their own effect, also enhance the effect of skin creams. Despite the fact that peeling both cleanses and stimulates, it is always recommended to use peeling together with a skin cream program and only exceptionally alone and then only in milder varieties.

There are several types of peels and it is important to know that the peels we offer should not be confused with the mild peels used by the skincare industry, but are much stronger and more effective medical peels that should only be prescribed and used by doctors.

Side effects and complications of medical peels

Performed correctly and by a trained doctor, medical peeling is safe. It is also the case that the peels become more effective the deeper they go. Peels that are too deep can still lead to pigment disorders or, in the worst case, scarring. Therefore, it is important that our doctor determines the depth of the peel you should have. Pigment disorders can develop into either too little or too much pigment, but usually disappear within one to two years.

Our doctor has many years of experience with medical peels and, not least, the expertise to help you with the healing afterwards.
