Key points
Combined peels in Geneva
Combined peeling is an innovative technique for rejuvenation, reduced imperfections and a luminous complexion. Combining peels acts on different layers for optimal results.
It is particularly valued for treating pigmentation, fine lines, acne and laxity simultaneously while stimulating cell renewal.
How does treatment work with a
combined peel?
Several specific exfoliating agents act on different skin layers for maximum effectiveness.
Each has distinct depth, penetration speed and effects. Combining acids therefore addresses different concerns simultaneously.
What are the benefits of combined peels?
Treating several layers and concerns in one session offers many advantages over traditional peels.
• More visible, lasting results: combining acids acts at several levels, encouraging comprehensive exfoliation and cell renewal both superficially and deeply.
• Personalisation: treatment adapts to individual needs, whether pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines or dullness, to meet expectations precisely.
• Overall quality improvement: increased density, smoother fine lines, reduced pigmentation and brighter complexion. Collagen stimulation also firms skin for a younger, toned, luminous appearance.
• Reduced imperfections: particularly effective for acne, scars and enlarged pores. Peels unclog pores, reduce excess sebum and prevent future breakouts.
Who can benefit from a
combined peel?
Combined peels suit all skin types, particularly multiple concerns or comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Prior consultation with an experienced doctor ensures a personalised peel suited to skin type and individual needs.
This treatment is ideal for:
• Mature skin seeking reduced ageing signs.
• Patients with acne.
• Uneven complexion or pigmentation.
Combined peel indications
Combined peels are recommended for several concerns.
• Pigmentation: brown spots, age spots and sun spots.
• Acne scars: smoothing skin and reducing scar appearance.
• Wrinkles and fine lines: medium and deep peels stimulate collagen, softening superficial wrinkles.
• Dullness: dead-cell exfoliation restores natural radiance.
• Laxity: acids stimulate tissue regeneration and improve firmness.
Which peel types are combined?
Several exfoliating agents can be combined, each with specific properties and different skin actions.
Salicylic-acid peel
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) penetrating skin, particularly pores. Anti-inflammatory and exfoliating properties suit oily, acne-prone skin. It dissolves excess sebum, clears blocked pores and reduces imperfections and breakouts.
Glycolic-acid peel
Glycolic acid is an AHA from sugar cane, commonly used in superficial peels to exfoliate the surface and accelerate renewal. It removes dead cells, stimulates collagen and creates smoother, brighter skin.
Trichloroacetic-acid peel
(TCA)
TCA is often used in medium to deep peels. It acts deeply on acne scars, brown spots and wrinkles, stimulating collagen for firmness and reduced ageing signs.
Jessner peel
Jessner peel combines salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol to exfoliate and treat acne, pigmentation and superficial wrinkles. It is often combined with other peels for more targeted action.
Mandelic-acid peel
Mandelic acid is a gentle AHA particularly suited to sensitive or hyperpigmentation-prone skin, including black and olive skin. It improves complexion, reduces pigmentation and smooths the surface.
What happens during a
peel
Skin is thoroughly cleansed before exfoliating agents to remove impurities and improve penetration.
Superficial peel application: a first light peel exfoliates the epidermis, removes dead cells and stimulates renewal.
Personalised peel application: different peels address the selected imperfections.
Neutralisation and aftercare: after the agents act, the peel is neutralised and healing cream applied.
Precautions and post-peel care
Afterwards, recommendations accelerate healing and prevent complications.
• Sun protection: UV sensitivity increases. Use SPF 50 daily and avoid direct sun.
• Hydration: suitable moisturisers soothe skin and prevent dehydration.
• Avoid irritation: avoid products containing strong acids, such as retinol or AHAs, for a few days.
• Specific instructions: Dr Romano explains precautions according to peel type.
Combined peel results
Results appear quickly. Within days, skin is generally smoother and brighter with a more even complexion. Several sessions may optimise results depending on depth.
Cell renewal and collagen stimulation continue improving skin over subsequent weeks.
Combined peel: prices in Geneva
Combined peels start at 300 CHF per session at Dr Romano's Geneva practice. This base price covers a simple peel and may vary with peel type.
Final cost depends on peel numbers combined per session, active ingredients and total session numbers needed. It particularly suits complex pigmentation, uneven texture and persistent imperfections.
Initial consultation always establishes a personalised strategy. Pricing is explained clearly and transparently according to individual needs.
All care follows strict Swiss medical quality and safety standards.
What advantages do combined peels have over single peels?
Several acids target different concerns in one session for more comprehensive results, treating pigmentation, wrinkles, acne and dullness simultaneously. This optimises effectiveness and reduces recovery time.
Which peels can be combined?
Combinations depend on acids and skin needs. Examples:
• Glycolic + salicylic acid: oily, acne-prone skin.
• Lactic + mandelic acid: sensitive or dull skin.
• TCA + kojic acid: pigmentation and laxity.
Combinations are always personalised and require professional advice.
Do combined peels suit every skin type?
Yes, following assessment. Sensitive and dark skin require particular care to avoid irritation or hyperpigmentation.
How often can combined peels be performed?
Every 2 to 3 months, depending on sensitivity and intensity. Maintenance can be spaced further apart according to results and medical recommendations.
