What are medical peels?

Medical peels are treatments aimed at improving the visible structure of skin tissue. They use various exfoliating solutions, such as acids. These peels, in various degrees, directly or indirectly affect the dermis, where the regeneration process is stimulated, depending on the type of acids and the depth achieved.

Because medical peels can be applied at various depths in the skin, the results can vary. These range from accelerating the skin's natural exfoliation process to the complete removal of the epidermis and various parts of the dermis, especially through coagulation or protein breakdown.

Applications for a Benebellum peeling

  • Skin aging
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Irregular skin
  • Sagging, dull skin

What are melasma and hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excessive pigment. This phenomenon occurs mostly in women with (lightly) toned skin (skin types 4-6). Research has shown that several risk factors contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Sunlight exposure
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Hormonal changes
  • Pregnancy
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Medication
  • Cosmetic products
  • When hormones are responsible for hyperpigmentation, it is also known as melasma, also known as a pregnancy mask. Melasma manifests as dark, irregularly shaped patches on the cheeks, nose, upper lip and/or forehead.
  • Hyperpigmentation can manifest superficially (epidermal), be deeper in the skin (dermal), or be a combination of both. The most common form of hyperpigmentation is the superficial (epidermal) variety, where the pigment (melanin) is spread throughout the epidermis. In this case, a Benebellum peel is effective.
  • A mixed or deeper (dermal) form of hyperpigmentation requires a more intensive treatment such as a TCA peel.

What is the cause of hyperpigmentation?

The underlying cause of hyperpigmentation is excessive activity of the pigment-producing cells, melanocytes. This overactivity can have several causes, including:

  1. Melanocytes receiving signals to produce large amounts of melanin
  2. Degradation of collagen
  3. Abnormalities in the skin barrier
  4. Oxidative stress
  5. Sunlight exposure (UVA, UVB and HEV - High Energy Visible - light, the blue light emitted by artificial light)

Importance of tranexamic acid, hexylresorcinol, vitamins A, C, E and blue filter

Years of research into the cause and treatment of hyperpigmentation and melasma have demonstrated the efficacy of these ingredients:

  • Tranexamic acid: An amino acid that reduces redness caused by vascular growth and provides a brightening effect.
  • Hexylresorcinol: An organic compound with anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits pigment production and has an analgesic effect.
  • Vitamins A, C and E: Powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects that stimulate cell renewal, wound healing and collagen formation. Pigment production is also reduced through the application of highly concentrated vitamin C to the skin.
  • Blue light filter: Protects the skin from the harmful influence of HEV (High Energy Visible) light. HEV light, generated for example by screens, contributes significantly to skin damage from light (8x more than UVA, UVB and UVC).
  • Long-term use of these ingredients significantly reduces pigment production and activation.

For advice on which medical peel is best for you, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Nurse Karen first. This is because the choice of medical peel is tailored to several personal factors, including your skin type, the thickness of your skin and the depth at which the pigment is located.

Medical peels frequently asked questions

Why are medical peels classified into levels?

Some peels work slightly more superficially than others, so depending on the desired result, the specialist will determine the desired depth.

What are the different levels of medical peels?

Very superficial = (superficial stratum corneum) Increases the uniformity of skin tone and provides a more "luminous" appearance. Will only benefit the éclat. Superficial = (epidermal to basal layer) Stimulates epidermal growth by removing the stratum corneum. This peel will cause skin peeling, similar to if you had a sunburn. From this depth we speak of the medical peels: Medium (papillary dermis) Affecting the papillary dermis, which can cause significant flaking. One gets superficial dermal inflammation. The epidermis will also be completely removed with this peel and thanks to the inflammatory reaction of the papillary dermis, one will regain a firmer dermis in the healing phase. Deep (reticular dermis) Deep chemical exfoliation leads to an inflammatory reaction of the reticular dermis, and this causes production of collagen and elastin.

How many times a year can you have a medical peel performed?

Depending on the depth of the peel, we recommend a maximum of 3 peels per year. At Sarasin Clinic we only work with the medical peels (they have a low PH value) so it is not allowed to use them too much. We therefore also do not allow more than 3 medical peels per year. Of course, it remains important to continue to stimulate the skin to divide and produce collagen and elastin. Once this stimulation is lost, the result will again visibly diminish. Our Sarasin Portocol will ensure that we permanently stimulate the skin! There is the possibility to do peels on the one hand and on the other hand to stimulate the skin permanently on its own by Microneedling + RF.

Quality and safety of medical peels

Each Mesopeel has been given a drug and medical device registration number (AEMPS) by the Spanish agency All peels of the Mesopeel pharmacy group comply with European standards. They have ISO 22716:2007, 9001:2008 and 13485:2012 for quality control management systems.

Treatment recommendations

At least 2 weeks between treatments / If using Roaccutane or skin-thinning medication, no treatment should be done / For men, it is recommended not to shave within 24 hours of treatment / Treatment is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding / We recommend not doing a peel on sun-tanned skin (min. 4 weeks between)

A medical peel is not suitable for:

Inflammations, infections (such as active acne or active herpes) / Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus / Immunological disorders, impaired immune system / Cancer / Keloid formation / Renal, respiratory, hepatic or cardiac insufficiency / Fresh scars or wounds / Hypertrophic scars / A history of radiatherapy treatments in the face / Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the peel / Pregnancy or breastfeeding / Damaged skin, recent waxing, use of depilatory cream / After using isotretinoin (Roaccutane), peeling can be done after six months / After using Tretinoin (Vitamin A acid), glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, the permeability of the skin may be increased

The first days after peeling

Day 1: Your skin feels dry but little is visible yet / Day 2: Your skin feels dry and tight. Dark spots may be visible in places where you first had pigment / Day 3: The skin begins to peel. First around your mouth and from there it continues. Any spots also disappear. Keep in mind that shedding will usually take 2-3 days. After that, there are often some remaining peels around your nose and hairline. / With heavier peels, peeling is necessary and inevitable while with lighter peels, your skin will only peel minimally.

What can you do yourself for maximum results?

Your skin is fragile and prone to pigment reappearance after peeling. Therefore, it is important that you strictly adhere to the "Post Peel Care.
