Chemical Peel

Personalized skincare chosen after diagnosis

Chemical peels help smooth skin texture by removing old keratin and impurities from the skin's surface, allowing new skin to emerge. Even with the same peel, oily skin, dry and sensitive skin, and skin with acne scars require different ingredients and strengths. At PIAF Clinic, we diagnose your skin type and concerns first, then choose the appropriate method between device peeling and chemical peeling. You can expect changes that are hard to achieve with self-care, but results and necessary sessions vary by individual skin condition.

Method and intensity are determined by skin condition. Based on skin type and concerns, we choose between device peeling and chemical peeling, adjusting the concentration and application time of the peel to suit the individual. The first session is performed at a mild intensity to observe skin reactions, with adjustments made in subsequent sessions. Post-procedure, skin is soothed and moisturized to stabilize it.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.Does peeling make the skin thinner?
Peeling removes the old keratin layer that should naturally shed, and when done at appropriate strength and intervals, it does not thin the skin. However, overly frequent or strong peels can weaken the barrier, so it's important to adhere to a schedule suited to your skin condition.
Q.How do I determine which peel is right for me?
We determine this by assessing sebum levels, keratin condition, sensitivity, and the presence of acne or pigmentation. For oily, congested pores, device peeling is considered; for frequent acne, black vinegar-based peels; for dry, sensitive skin, less irritating nutrient peels are prioritized, and this is decided during consultation.
Q.Can I resume daily activities immediately after the procedure?
Most peels allow for same-day return to daily activities, but depending on the type, there may be redness or light peeling for a day or two. If you have important plans, we can adjust the timing of the procedure.
