Chemical peel treatments in Düsseldorf

Chemical peelings remove layers of skin to different extents, thereby stimulating the skin’s own regeneration function. To a certain extent, the skin renews itself. This presents an effective method to combat a range of skin problems including, for example, uneven skin, sun damage, age spots and blemished or large-pored skin.

In many cases, chemical peels can also improve the appearance of acne scars and other minor scars. Peel treatments are not usually suitable for reducing the appearance of large scars. We would be happy to recommend an alternative treatment in such cases.

Chemical peels work in different dermal layers. This allows us to adopt a targeted approach to treating different skin problems. The treatments can reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, small scars and blemishes. Age spots and pigmented spots can also be treated with chemical peels.

Generally speaking, chemical peels do not require any demanding preparation. However, in the weeks leading up to the treatment, however, you should avoid visiting the solarium and direct, prolonged sun exposure. Depending on your skin type and the type of peel treatment, a special skincare regime may be required beforehand. You will be given detailed instructions about this during the preliminary consultation.

Peel treatments leave the skin somewhat irritated at first. The severity of the reaction depends on the type of peel treatment. You should make sure to protect your skin from the sun until all symptoms have fully receded. In some cases, specific skincare or wound care may be required.

How long it will take for your appearance to become presentable again depends on the type of chemical peeling treatment. Superficial peel treatments, for example, only result in slight redness that recedes of its own accord after a few hours.

Medium-depth peel treatments actually remove the uppermost dermal layers – and you should expect to be out of action for several days.

Deep peel treatments place considerable stress on the skin and should only be performed by experienced professionals. They result in strong skin reactions that require specific aftercare. Patients will have to recover for around 2 to 3 weeks after a deep peel treatment before the results are presentable.

Light peel treatments focused on the upper surface of the skin usually present a very little risk. The more concentrated the peel treatment is, the more experienced the practitioner needs to be. Improperly performing deep peel treatments can cause skin discoloration, infections and other complications.
