A combination peel is an aesthetic medicine procedure that involves using several types of chemical peel in a single session to treat the different layers of the skin. Combination peels can act on several levels depending on the specific needs of the patient's skin. This versatile approach offers a tailor-made treatment, as it allows several skin imperfections to be treated simultaneously.
This type of peel is often used to exfoliate deep down, stimulate cell renewal, even out skin tone and improve overall skin texture.
It is ideal for people who want to treat a variety of skin problems, such as :
- Pigmentation spots (brown spots, sun spots).
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Dilated pores.
- Dull complexion.
- Loose skin.
The combined peel is an innovative technique in aesthetic medicine, ideal for patients who want to rejuvenate their skin, reduce imperfections and regain a radiant complexion. It is a treatment that combines several types of peel, making it possible to act on the different layers of the skin for optimum results.
Combination peels are particularly appreciated for their ability to treat a number of skin problems simultaneously, such as pigmentation spots, fine lines, acne and sagging skin, while stimulating cell renewal.
The principle of the combined peel is to use several specific exfoliating agents, which work on the different layers of the skin for maximum effectiveness. Each chemical peeling agent has its own characteristics, such as depth of action, speed of penetration and effects on the skin. By combining several acids, it is possible to target several skin problems at once.
The combination peel offers many advantages over traditional peels thanks to its ability to treat several layers of skin and target several skin problems in a single session.
- More visible, longer-lasting results: by combining several types of acid, the combined peel acts on different levels of the skin, guaranteeing more visible, longer-lasting results. It promotes complete exfoliation, stimulating cell renewal both on the surface and deep down.
- Personalised treatment: the treatment can be tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Whether you want to treat pigmentation spots, acne scars, fine lines or a dull complexion, the combined peel can be adjusted to meet your exact requirements.
- Overall improvement in skin quality: this type of peel works on several fronts: it improves skin texture, smoothes fine lines, reduces pigmentation spots and gives a radiant complexion. By stimulating collagen production, it also helps to firm the skin, making it look younger and more radiant.
- Reducing imperfections: combination peels are particularly effective in treating skin problems such as acne, scars and enlarged pores. They unclog pores, reduce excess sebum and help prevent future breakouts.
The combination peel is suitable for all skin types, but is particularly recommended for people with multiple skin problems or those who want a complete solution to rejuvenate their face. It is important to consult an experienced doctor for a personalised peel.
before proceeding with a combination peel to ensure that the treatment is suited to your skin type and specific needs.
This treatment is ideal for :
- People with mature skin who want to reduce the signs of ageing.
- Patients suffering from acne.
- People with uneven skin tone or pigmentation spots.
The combined peel is recommended for treating several skin problems.
- Pigment spots brown spots, age spots, sun spots.
- Acne scars The combined peel helps to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
- Wrinkles and fine lines Medium and deep peels stimulate collagen production, reducing surface wrinkles.
- Dull complexion Combination peel: by exfoliating dead cells, the combination peel gives the skin a natural, radiant glow.
- Sagging skin The acids used in combined peels stimulate the regeneration of skin tissue, improving skin firmness.
Several types of exfoliating agent can be combined in a combination peel, each with specific properties and a different action on the skin.
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deeper into the skin, particularly the pores. It is ideal for treating oily and acne-prone skin, as it has anti-inflammatory and exfoliating properties. This acid helps to :
- Dissolve excess sebum.
- Cleanse clogged pores.
- Reduce blemishes and skin eruptions.
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It is commonly used in superficial peels to exfoliate the top layer of skin, accelerating cell renewal. Glycolic acid is particularly effective for :
- Eliminate dead cells.
- Stimulate collagen production.
- Smoother, more radiant skin.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is often used in medium to deep peels. It works deep within the skin to treat acne scars, brown spots and wrinkles. It stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to firm the skin and reduce the visible signs of ageing.
The Jessner peel is a mixture of acids (salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol) used to exfoliate deep down and treat skin imperfections such as acne, pigmentation spots and superficial wrinkles. It is often combined with other peels for a more targeted action.
Mandelic acid is a gentle AHA, particularly suited to sensitive skin or skin prone to hyperpigmentation, such as black and dark skin. It helps to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation spots and smooth skin texture. This acid is very irritating to the skin.
Before applying the exfoliating agents, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and allow the products to penetrate better.
Applying the superficial peel: a first light peel is applied to exfoliate the upper layer of the epidermis, remove dead cells and stimulate cell renewal.
Application of personalised peels: different peels are applied depending on the imperfections to be treated.
Neutralisation and post-peel care: once the chemical agents have acted, the peel is neutralised and a healing cream is applied to promote healing.
After a combined peel, it is essential to follow certain recommendations to speed up healing and avoid complications.
- Sun protection: the skin is more sensitive to UV rays after a peel. It is therefore essential to use an SPF 50 sunscreen every day and to avoid direct exposure to the sun.
- Moisturising: use appropriate moisturising creams to soothe the skin and prevent dehydration.
- Avoid irritating the skin: avoid products containing strong acids (such as retinol or AHAs) for a few days after the peel.
- Specific instructions: Dr Romano will explain the precautions to be taken depending on the type of peel performed.
The results of a combination peel are visible quickly after treatment. In general, patients can see smoother, brighter skin and an even complexion in the days following the procedure. Depending on the depth of the peel, several sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
After treatment, the skin continues to improve over the following weeks thanks to the stimulation of cell renewal and collagen production.
Le cost of a superficial peel depends on the problem being treated, the product used and the patient's skin.
