This is the application of a chemical product to the skin of the face to treat aging.
By deeply stimulating elastin and collagen fibers, peels can eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, reduce their depth and erase blemishes.
They improve skin quality and firmness.
They homogenize the surface and color, creating the appearance of healthy skin.
These treatments are effective as long as you choose your peel carefully.
Personalized assessment
To determine the most appropriate treatment, an initial consultation is recommended.
The aim is to analyze your needs and draw up a customized treatment plan.
In practice
The session takes place in several stages and can last from 15 to 30 minutes.
For best results, 4 to 5 sessions are recommended, spaced 15 days apart.
Depending on the peel recommended by your practitioner, you will be given a list of cosmetics to use at home, following a precise protocol, in order to prepare your skin.
During the sessions, you may experience some slight discomfort, such as a feeling of sunburn, or diffuse redness, which disappears within 2 hours.
In the days following the procedure, slight peeling may occur. This is of no consequence, as long as the skin is left to flake naturally.
Contraindications include allergic reactions to certain components, pregnancy, tanned skin and aesthetic procedures (laser, micro-dermabrasion).
The absolute condition for carrying out the sessions is to avoid the sun for the duration of the treatment and the following month.
