The desire for beautiful skin

Imagine being able to restore the freshness of your skin with just a few treatments. All natural – with the power of fruit acid. Sounds tempting? It is. Which is why maybe one or two have already tried it at home. But there’s a problem: home peels are 10-20 times weaker than those used by doctors. Weaker concentration means less effect. But the desire for beautiful skin remains.

Your skin as a protective shield – that leaves traces

It’s hard to believe: your skin loses around 600,000 skin flakes every hour, which are replaced by new cells. What remains: A sallow, flaky skin complexion. Which is why it’s all the more important to take care of your skin regularly. But unfortunately, with increasing age, this is too little. As the outermost barrier, your skin is exposed to many environmental stresses over the years. From sunlight to personal lifestyle habits like diet and stress. Smoking and alcohol in particular leave their mark. But as you know, there is a solution.

“The medical fruit acid peel at the doctor’s is 10-20 times more effective than the one at home or at the beautician’s, as it is applied in a much higher concentration.” – Dr. Peter Herndlhofer

What skin problems can I improve with a peel?

In principle, a variety of skin damage that you acquire as you get older is improved. Here is a short list. Fruit acid peeling:

  • Impure skin, blackheads and greasy shine
  • Dry, flaky, sun-damaged skin
  • Acne

Retinol peeling:

  • Impure skin, blackheads and greasy shine
  • Dry, flaky, sun-damaged skin
  • Acne
  • Pigmentary disorders such as age spots, pigmentary changes
  • Superficial wrinkles

How does a fruit acid peel work?

To understand why exfoliation can improve a variety of skin problems, let’s take a look at its effects. Exfoliation, depending on its strength, frees you from the top layer of dead skin cells. The stronger, the deeper and more intense. Either it works through a mechanical stimulus by scrubbing your skin, or in our case – through fruit acid. But both fruit acid and retinol (= highly potent vitamin A) can do something else: they regenerate your skin by stimulating cell renewal and the formation of new collagen. This allows us to reduce skin impurities such as acne so that your skin looks fresher and healthier after just a few treatments.

If you want to have a treatment with us, the consultation including skin analysis is free of charge. However, if you can’t decide right away, we charge a consultation fee of €140. But the good news is that we will credit €50 back to you for every future treatment.

Any questions? Our FAQ section cannot replace a consultation, but it should give you some initial guidance.

Did you know: already in 1992 the skin peeling by highly concentrated fruit acid was patented. However, the founding fathers of Neostrata Dr. Eugene Van Scott and Dr. Ruey Yu developed the basic dermatological concept as early as the 1970s. Neostrata is still around today – they supply us with our exfoliating products. So you can trust that all peels have been researched and proven for decades.

Especially with peeling, pre- and post-treatment is extremely important for the success of the treatment. With the right cream and peelings for at home, you can noticeably improve the appearance of your skin and increase the effect of the individual treatments from time to time.

Glycolic acid belongs to a group of natural substances often referred to as “fruit acids”. As the name suggests, it is found in various fruits and foods. In the natural state, you can find them in sugar cane juice, for example.

Under medical supervision, the risk of side effects is extremely low. However, the peeling process may cause temporary redness of the skin. However, these disappeared again the next day.

In short: mechanical and chemical peels. A mechanical peeling is performed as part of our HydraFacial treatment. On the other hand, we perform fruit acid as well as retinol peelings with NeoStrata. We do not offer stronger peels, where there are long downtimes associated with greater risks.
