Chemical peeling

The peeling substance must be selected by the doctor in a preli­mi­nary consul­ta­tion depending on the skin type and desired effect. Depending on the depth and severity of the wrinkles, the respec­tive substance class
must be selected to achieve the optimum effect.

This is also a very good way of elimi­na­ting blotchy pigmen­ta­tion disorders of the skin (so-called "age spots") and achieving more intensive wrinkle treat­ments. Acne scars can also be signi­fi­cantly improved. This can range from so-called fruit acid peelings, which only cause a discreet refres­hing of the skin, to deep-reaching phenol peelings, which cause a massive removal of wrinkles and pigmen­ta­tion disorders. However, the more far-reaching the effect, the longer the healing phase. 

In any case, the skin must be protected from intensive sun exposure and similar stresses for a longer period of time and a sun protec­tion cream with a high sun protec­tion factor must be used for a longer period of time.

After applying an anaes­the­tic cream to the area to be treated, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased. The doctor then repea­tedly applies the peeling substance to the skin in layers. A burning sensation may be felt, good cooling allevia­tes this. The desired chemical processes take place immedia­tely, making it easy to control the intensity of the treatment. The treatment takes approx. 30 - 60 minutes; a subse­quent reddening and swelling of the skin must be accepted - otherwise there would be no effect. 

After 2-3 days, the skin begins to peel; the skin regene­ra­tes, sloughs off dead horny layers and forms new collagen and elastin. We provide you with appro­priate ointments and creams for follow-up treatment and monitor you closely during the healing process. 

There are no intole­ran­ces or allergic reactions; however, the patient must be prepared to allow for a certain downtime and be patient until complete healing to a fresh, rosy, open-pored comple­xion. As this is also an intensive bio-stimu­la­tion of your own tissue from deep within, it takes a few days to weeks to achieve the full effect. 

As with any cosmetic procedure, the cost of a treatment can vary and depends on the size of the area to be treated, the product used and the time required for appli­ca­tion. Naturally, the costs incurred will be discussed and deter­mi­ned in advance. 

The cost of an initial on-site consul­ta­tion is CHF 150. This amount can be credited towards your treatment if it takes place within 6 months. If you do not show up for the bindingly agreed initial appoint­ment, a cancel­la­tion fee of CHF 150 will be charged.
