What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that controllably removes the uppermost layers of skin to reveal new, smooth, and even-toned skin. Depending on the active ingredient and concentration, superficial, medium-depth, or deeper peels can be used – individually tailored to skin type, goal, and desired outcome.
Chemical peels are successfully used for:
- Fine lines and tired-looking skin
- Pigment spots and sun damage
- Acne and enlarged pores
- Scars and uneven skin texture
- General skin rejuvenation and complexion improvement
How does a chemical peel work?
The fruit acids or medical active ingredients used (e.g. glycolic acid, lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid/TCA) specifically remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal as well as collagen production.
The result:
- A fresh, even complexion
- Refined pores
- Reduced pigment spots
- A noticeably smoother skin texture
The treatment is individually tailored – from a gentle fruit acid peel to a more medically potent TCA peel.
Treatment process at Dr. Spiegl’s practice
A session usually lasts 30 to 40 minutes. After cleansing the skin, the peeling solution is applied evenly, left to act for a few minutes, and then neutralized. A slight burning or warming sensation may occur during the treatment but subsides quickly.
Anesthesia
Usually, no anesthesia is necessary. For sensitive skin, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand upon request, to make the treatment especially comfortable.
How many sessions are necessary?
Depending on skin type, peel type, and desired effect, several sessions are often recommended to achieve an optimal and lasting result. There should be 2–4 weeks between treatments. Dr. Spiegl creates an individual treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs and goals.
Healing Process & Downtime
Recovery time depends on the depth of the peel:
- Superficial: mild redness and flaking – recovery time 1–2 days
- Medium-depth: redness and peeling – recovery time 3–5 days
- Deep: intensive regeneration with crust formation – recovery time up to 7 days
Ability to work: usually after 1–5 days. Sport & sauna: possible again after 1–2 weeks. Final result: visible after 4–12 weeks, typically lasting 6–16 months.
