TCA peel and fruit acid peel in Vienna

Chemical peels and fruit acid peels

A peel has a very regenerative effect on the skin. It removes the upper parts of the skin layer, stimulates collagen production in deeper skin layers and inhibits acne bacteria (Propionibacterium Acnes). Because of these properties it can reduce fine lines, even out pigment irregularities, refine pores, heal inflammations and improve skin blemishes.

At JUVENIS in Vienna, peels are performed by our experienced dermatologist, for whom your wellbeing and health come first. The offering includes chemical peels and fruit acid peels.

Peels at JUVENIS in Vienna

Usually the face and décolleté are treated, but in some cases also the back and the backs of the hands. At least 4 weeks before the first peeling treatment, pigment-stabilizing cream therapy should be started. In total about 3–10 treatments are advisable, each producing a visible improvement.

The skin begins to peel after approx. 2 days. This lasts about 3–5 days. It is especially important that you strictly avoid the sun and use sun protection products after peels. Such peels are NOT performed during the warm season.

TCA – Peeling in Vienna at JUVENIS

The Trichloroacetic acid peeling(TCA-Peeling) is a chemical peeling method that is used in many ways as a cosmetic or dermatological procedure. The intensive effect of the peel leads to the removal of dead skin flakes and parts of the outermost skin layer (epidermis).

Indications:

  • Refining skin texture

  • Blemishes

  • Severe acne scars

  • Pigment spots/sun damage

  • Fine lines

  • Mature skin

Fruit acid peels in Vienna at JUVENIS

The fruit acid peel is by now a proven procedure for a number of skin changes. It causes a temporary loosening of the uppermost skin layers ("peeling effect"). This thins the stratum corneum. Active ingredients can penetrate the skin much better. In addition, the peeling action stimulates the epidermis to renew itself.

Indications:

  • Refining skin texture

  • Pigment spots/sun damage

  • Blemishes

  • Mild acne scars

  • Fine lines

  • Mature skin

  • Inflammation

Treatment regions

  • Face

TCA peeling treatment procedure

  • The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased.

  • The peeling solution is applied evenly.

  • After a few minutes of exposure time, a soothing cream and a high sun protection are applied.

The treatment may burn uncomfortably, but this subsides after some time. In the following days the skin may be red and peel. High sun protection is absolutely necessary for several weeks after the treatment.

FAQs

A chemical peel is a dermatological treatment in which special acids are applied to the skin to selectively renew the outermost skin layers. This stimulates skin regeneration and the skin's appearance can smoother, fresher and more even appear.

At JUVENIS, among others, the following peels are used:

  • Fruit acid peel (AHA peel) – superficial peel to improve skin texture and glow

  • TCA peel (trichloroacetic acid) – more intensive peel to treat pigmentation spots, scars or fine lines

The suitable method is selected individually according to skin type and condition.

Chemical peels are suitable for treating:

  • Acne and problematic skin

  • Acne scars

  • Pigment spots and sun damage

  • fine lines and wrinkles

  • uneven skin texture

  • Enlarged pores

The skin often appears clearer, smoother and fresher.

After the skin has been cleansed, the peel is applied precisely to the areas to be treated. The exposure time depends on the chosen peel and skin type. Afterwards the skin is neutralized and soothed. The treatment usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes.

During the treatment, a slight burning or tingling may occur, which is usually well tolerated. More intensive peels can cause a stronger warming sensation.

After a superficial peel the skin may be slightly reddened. With stronger peels, in the following days there may be a visible skin flaking may occur, as the skin renews.

Many patients notice an improvement in their complexion after just a few days. The skin looks fresher and smoother. With more intensive peels the final result usually appears after a few weeks.

For optimal results, multiple sessions are recommended at intervals of several weeks. The exact number depends on the condition of the skin and the desired improvement.

After a chemical peel, a consistent sun protection (SPF 50) particularly important. Intense sun exposure, saunas and tanning beds should be avoided in the days after the treatment.

Temporarily, redness, a feeling of tightness or flaking may occur. These reactions are part of the skin renewal process and usually subside within a few days.

The costs depend on the type of peel and the treated skin area.

  • Superficial peel 1 region from approx. € 110

  • Medium-depth peel 1 region from approx. € 270

  • Deep peel 1 region from approx. € 480

As part of the consultation, you will receive an individual treatment and cost plan.

Since this is usually a cosmetic procedure, the costs are usually not covered by health insurance.

At JUVENIS, peeling treatments are performed exclusively by experienced doctors and medical professionals performed. Through an individualized skin analysis, we select the appropriate peel for your skin and optimally adjust intensity and active ingredients. The goal is a visibly improved skin structure with the highest safety and medical quality.
