What it is

Acid therapy, also known as a chemical peel, is a cosmetic treatment in which an acid solution is applied to the skin. The acid helps loosen the bonds between old skin cells so the top layer can renew itself. Depending on the acid and its strength, you will feel a tingling sensation, and your skin may flake a little afterwards.

We work with [TODO: e.g. AHA, BHA or PHA — which ones you use] and build up the intensity gradually. On your first visit we always begin with a consultation and skin analysis. Because your skin is more sensitive to the sun after a peel, a high daily sun protection (SPF) is an essential part of the treatment.

Who it’s for

  • skin that looks dull or tired
  • an uneven skin tone or texture
  • visibly congested pores
  • anyone who would like to refresh the look of their skin step by step

Results you can expect

  • skin that feels smoother
  • a fresher, more radiant look
  • many clients notice a more even tone after a number of sessions
  • pores that may look more refined

What happens during the session

  1. We discuss your skin, your home care routine and any medication you use.
  2. Your skin is cleansed and degreased so the acid can work evenly.
  3. We apply the acid in a thin layer; you may feel tingling or warmth.
  4. We watch your skin closely during the working time and neutralise or remove the acid at the right moment.
  5. We finish with soothing care and a high sun protection (SPF).

Frequently asked questions

Which acids do you use?

We work with [TODO: e.g. AHA, BHA or PHA — which ones you use]. Which acid and strength we choose depends on your skin and what we discuss during your consultation.

Will my skin peel?

That depends on the type of peel and your skin. With a mild peel you often see very little; with a stronger peel the skin may flake for a few days.

Why is sun protection so important?

After a chemical peel your skin is temporarily more sensitive to sunlight. Using a high SPF every day helps protect your skin and supports the result.
