Peeling

Which type of peel is best for you depends on several indications. There are many different peels available for anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scarring and coarse pores, among others.

Together with the practitioner, we look at which peeling best suits your skin and needs. For example, there is a difference in the recovery time after a peeling and the reason for which peeling is used. Sometimes it can be useful to combine a peeling with a microneedling treatment for a deeper effect.

Should you suffer from hyperpigmentation, it is best to start with the ME-line treatments and products. This is a combination of a mask treatment and microneedling. Together with the use of the right products we can make sure to reduce and control pigmentation.

If it is not pigmentation but anti-aging or acne scarring then the Easy TCA (TCA peeling) or the No Needle Skin Booster (PRX-T33 peel) may be a good peel. If you prefer a deeper peel then read more about the Easy Pen Very Light (Phenol peeling). However, this one does give a bit more recovery time.

Do you want healthy skin with a nice glow and little recovery time? Ivy Clinics also has a number of peels that are a bit lighter and still stimulate your skin the right way. Our skin therapists would love to tell you more about them.

A peeling can be fully and partially reimbursed by the health insurance company. This depends on your package and additional insurance is required. Also, the amount of reimbursement per year varies between health insurers.

A peel is not reimbursed for all indications. Check with your specialist to see if you may be able to apply for reimbursement. Also, in some cases a referral from your own family doctor is required.

You can return to work immediately after a peel. However, you do need some recovery time after some peels because you may flake slightly. So it depends if you have a job that requires you to look presentable.

This aspect is also discussed in the consultation and appropriate advice is always given. The No Needle Skin Booster is a nice peeling for people with a busy social or working life where a long recovery time is not possible. Synergie Skin peelings are also extremely perfect for a beautiful glow, healthy skin and not too much recovery time.

Skintech’s peels (Easy TCA and Easy Pen Very Light) or the TCA and Phenol peels do have a longer recovery time. Think of 5-10 days. This can vary from person to person.

No, exfoliation is actually good for the skin. In addition, the glow of the skin improves and lines and blemishes fade.

A peeling causes the dead skin cells to loosen. In addition, collagen and elastin are stimulated.

Each peel is experienced differently. It depends on the type of peel. In general, a peel is not painful.

However, a burning and tingling sensation may occur in the beginning; the degree to which this occurs varies from person to person.

For best results, a peel is used in a course of treatment, that is, several times within a certain period of time. How often a peel is needed depends on the type of peel and what the peel is used for. Once the course of treatment is completed, it is important to take good care of the skin at home. This will make the results longer visible.

In addition, it is also good to use a peel afterwards as a maintenance treatment. This can then be once every few months, again this depends on each peel and indication.

A peel is a very safe treatment in which complications are rare. Pigment changes are most common after a peel. This can manifest as light or dark discolorations. This is often temporary but can also be permanent.

Other side effects after a peel can include scarring, allergic reaction and viral infection (cold sores). With proper pre-treatment and post-treatment, the chance of side effects is very low.
