What types of peels and what they are for?
There are a lot of different types of peel depending on active ingredients (mandelic, lactic, TCA, glycolic, salicylic, Jessner’s, retinol, citric, enzymes etc) in a different concentrations. Also, can be combinations of peels.
Lactic acid – AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) type, which naturally ocures in human bodies, therefore we observe rare allergic reactions to the peel. Naturally, lactic acid removes superficial congested skin layers, including superficial pigments and stimulate collagen prodction.
Salicylic – is BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid peeling molecules are large and oil dissolvable, therefore SA can’t penetrate normal healthy skin. In the environment of oily skin, prone to acne, oil congestions, it dissolves oily clogs inside the skin, bringing it up closer to the surface together with dead skin, hardened oil in pores and trapped seborrheic glands oil. Sometimes it can cause break up of acne after the SA peeling, but it does reduce inflamation of the skin and clearing the skin long term.
How different types of chemical peels work?
Your skin is different under eyes, on chin, lips, forehead etc – therefore VISTA clinic has a lab of different peels and we use different peels on different areas of your face. Such individually tailored approach ensure best results for our patients. We call it “Vista Clinic peel”.
Chemical Peels are classed as Superficial, Medium or Deep depending on the depth to which the skin is peeled.
Superficial Peels
the name is self description. Superficial, dead skin removal only + some actives to achive more desirable cosmetic results. It helps for skin to look more even, fresher, smoother and grow more easily. Also, your skin care products are working more efficiently with better absorption.
The type is not painful, lunch time procedure with no or minimal down time, mostly performed by any trained professional and doesn’t require medical staff.
However, if right peel is used for right area of the face, and you do this regularly, you will achieve similar effect as doing more invasive peel fewer times.
Complications of Superficial Peels are very uncommon.
Examples are mandelic, glycolic, salicylic, lactic, peppermint, citric and other acids. However, some peels can be superficial, medium and deep, depending on concentration, pH and time of exposure.
After care post peel?
Sun smartness, sun smartness, sun smartness. We can’t overemphasise important of ultraviolet exposure in skin aging, especially after treatments. New skin initially is in regenerative phase, therefore important good diet, reduce smoking, sun and other oxidative stress factors.
It’s ok to walk, if UV level below level 4, and with a good sunscreen, applied regularly (2 hourly), but no sunbaking (even if you use sunscreens – it doesn’t protect you completely).
Most dangerous for skin aging and skin cancer Ultraviolet A can penetrate through glass, therefore use sunscreens indoors or in your car also.
Ask your cosmetic professional to help to find most suitable sunscreen for you.

Medium Peel
Medium peel is acting deeper, therefore level of discomfort is higher as well as downtime. We usually prefer to use it on areas of your face/body which requires deeper acting treatment – for example, acne scars, post acne spots, deeper lines (for example, mimic lines around mouth, called smokers lines or kiss lines), it helps to improve pores and resistant sun damage spots.
After procedure, skin will felt tighter, brown spots may be darker initially, and in general skin more pink. Peeling starts on day 3 or 4 and continue up to 7th and 8th day. Important not to peel off actively crusts to avoid hyperpigmentation. Just moisturise actively, use Paw paw or cream.
Deep Peels
