Peeling in Beaulieu sur Mer

Peeling

Peeling is a tried-and-tested aesthetic procedure that offers a genuine “new skin effect” by stimulating cell renewal and treating various skin imperfections. However, as with any aesthetic procedure, there are advantages and disadvantages to be considered carefully.

Advantages of Peeling

  1. Skin radiance: The main advantage of peels lies in their ability to restore the skin’s natural radiance. By eliminating dead surface cells, the peel encourages cell renewal, revealing brighter, more revitalised skin.
  2. Correcting imperfections : Peels are effective in treating a multitude of skin imperfections such as dullness, photo-ageing, dilated pores, acne, dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and mild superficial pigmentation disorders.
  3. Collagen stimulation: Contrary to popular belief, peels do not thin the skin, but on the contrary, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to a thickening of the dermis, improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Disadvantages of Peeling

  1. Temporary social exclusion: Medium peels may cause scaling and diffuse redness, necessitating social exclusion for a few days. However, this is generally temporary and disappears as the skin regenerates.
  2. Skin sensitivity: After a peeling session, the skin may be more sensitive to environmental factors such as the sun. It is essential to apply a sunscreen and minimise sun exposure for at least a month after the procedure to avoid the risk of pigmentary rebound, also known as “post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation”.
  3. The vast majority of peel protocols require the skin to be prepared at home by the patient using cosmetics applied daily. Total patient compliance is required to guarantee the best results.

Peels are beneficial for a variety of skin problems, including dullness, photo-ageing, dilated pores, acne, dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and pigmentation disorders. They are generally suitable up to phototype IV and are performed in autumn-winter.

Although peels are generally safe, certain contraindications must be taken into account. They are not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, people with a history of keloid scars, or those who have recently used photosensitising medication.

  1. Preliminary consultation: Before treatment, a preliminary consultation is essential to assess the patient’s skin, determine the appropriate type of peel and explain the expected results.

  2. Home Skin Preparation: The patient must undergo home skin preparation by applying cosmetics for at least 15 days before the session.

  3. Application of the Peeling Solution: During the session, the peeling solution is applied to the facial skin. The depth of action depends on the type of peel chosen.

  4. Post-treatment: After the session, post-peel care is prescribed, and the patient must follow the instructions carefully, including the use of SPF50+ sunscreens and avoiding certain activities such as swimming or, more generally, outdoor sports.

A peel is a versatile aesthetic procedure offering remarkable results. The benefits obtained, such as skin radiance and the correction of imperfections, far outweigh the temporary inconveniences. However, a thorough consultation beforehand is crucial to ensure optimal and safe results. Contact us to find out more about peels and how they can meet your specific aesthetic medicine needs.
