What is a peel?

A peel is a professional treatment in which a liquid containing acids is applied to the skin. These substances stimulate cell renewal, remove dead skin cells, and penetrate deep into the skin to address problems such as hyperpigmentation, scars, wrinkles, and acne. The result: smoother, fresher, and more even skin.

Many people ask: “Is a peel good for your skin?” The answer is: yes, provided it is performed by a professional. At Glow Institute, we work with safe medical peels that are tailored to your skin type and skin concern.

How does a peel work?

Every peel at Glow Institute begins with a thorough skin analysis and cleansing, ensuring the skin is optimally prepared for the treatment. Depending on the chosen peel type, the appropriate acid is carefully applied to the skin.

During the treatment, you may experience a tingling, warm, or slightly stinging sensation, which is normal. Some peels, such as PRX or BioRePeel, work without peeling and have virtually no downtime, while deeper peels like TCA can cause a short period of peeling and redness.

After applying the peel, a soothing mask or nourishing cream usually follows to protect and hydrate the skin. Our specialists always provide personalized aftercare advice, so your skin recovers optimally and achieves the best results.

Pre and post-care for a peel

Before the treatment

  • Avoid sun and tanning beds (at least 2 weeks prior).
  • Temporarily stop using retinol or other irritating skin products.
  • Follow the product advice of our skin therapist.

Immediately after the treatment

  • The skin may be temporarily red and sensitive.
    Sometimes slight flaking or peeling occurs (depending on the peel).
  • Use a restorative cream, such as the iS Clinical Sheald Recovery Balm.

Aftercare in the first week

  • Always use SPF 30 or higher.
  • No sauna, sports, or intense heat.

Frequently asked questions

How often should you do a peel for optimal results?

On average 3 to 6 times as a course of treatment, depending on the type of peel and your skin goals.

How does a peel work?

By applying controlled acids to the skin, the peel stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. This results in smoother, fresher, and more even-toned skin.

How long is the recovery after a peel?

Recovery varies per peel: some treatments like PRX and BioRePeel have virtually no downtime, while TCA peels usually require 5–7 days of peeling and recovery.

Is a peel painful?

You may experience a tingling or warm sensation during the treatment, which is normal and well-tolerated.

What are the disadvantages of a chemical peel?

Possible side effects include temporary redness, flaking, mild irritation, or skin sensitivity. These effects usually disappear on their own within a few days.

Can I do a peel at home?

Home products can exfoliate mildly, but professional (chemical) peels are always performed by a specialist. Only then is the treatment safe and effective for deeper skin problems such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and wrinkles.

How long does skin peel after a chemical peel?

This depends on the type of peel: with mild peels there may be hardly any flaking, while with TCA peels the skin can visibly peel for an average of 5–7 days.

What are the risks of a TCA peel?

TCA peels penetrate deep into the skin. Potential risks include temporary redness, peeling, hyperpigmentation, or mild sensitivity. Professional treatment and aftercare significantly reduce these risks.

Why might my skin look worse after a peel?

Sometimes the skin may temporarily appear worse because the peel brings old skin cells and superficial imperfections to the surface. This is a normal recovery process, and the skin will subsequently look fresher and more even.

Is a chemical peel bad for your skin?

No, a (chemical) peel is not bad for your skin when performed professionally. On the contrary, the treatment stimulates skin renewal and collagen production. Incorrect use, such as applying strong acids at home, can cause damage.

Which cream should I use after a (chemical) peel?

Always use a hydrating, soothing cream and SPF 30+. Our therapists will recommend the right products for your skin type and peel.

Is a peeling covered by insurance?

Sometimes for acne treatments, depending on your health insurance.
