Chemical peels in Geneva
A chemical peel resurfaces the skin to work on texture, dull tone and marks. Strength ranges from light to deeper, and the right one depends on your skin. Here is how to approach it by indication.
Resurfacing, at the right strength
A peel applies a solution that lifts the outer layer of skin so a fresher surface can renew. Light peels target dullness and texture with little downtime; deeper peels do more but ask for more recovery and care.
The right strength is a medical decision based on your skin and goal. A superficial peel and a deep peel are not the same act, and pretending otherwise is how people get hurt.
Skin type, sun and aftercare
Peels interact with sun exposure, so timing matters and protection afterwards is not optional. Darker or reactive skin needs particular care in the choice of peel.
An assessment comes first, and the practitioner explains the expected peeling, the downtime and the aftercare before you commit.
From consultation to follow-up
It starts with a medical consultation: nothing is done without a prior assessment.
Consultation
The doctor listens to your goal, examines you and explains the options, limits and risks.
The act
If indicated, it is performed by the doctor, with your informed consent.
Follow-up
A review assesses the result and adjusts if needed.
Before a medical act
- Mention your history, allergies and current treatments.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding and active infections are contra-indications.
- No result is guaranteed; the aim is a measured, natural outcome.
- Performed by a doctor, never in a beauty salon.
Your questions
Is there downtime after a peel?
It depends on the strength. Light peels have little downtime; deeper peels involve visible peeling and need recovery. The clinic explains this before you start.
Can a peel treat pigmentation?
Some peels can help with dull tone and certain marks, but pigmentation is complex and skin type matters. An assessment decides whether a peel is the right approach.
Does it suit darker skin?
Some peels do, with careful selection; others carry more risk. This is exactly why the choice of peel is a medical decision after assessing your skin.
