NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
Rough skin can lose its smooth, supple feel. A tailored lactic acid peel can gently refine the surface.
Lactic acid loosens superficial dead skin cells and can support smoother-looking skin. At DIVINE Medica, skin tolerance is the central consideration when planning a lactic acid peel.
Lactic acid removes superficial dead skin cells and can help the skin feel smoother. The strength of the peel is selected according to your skin barrier and sensitivity. Suitable skincare is applied to complete the treatment.
Rough, less supple skin and an uneven complexion may be suitable for a lactic acid peel. An intact skin barrier and your previous reactions to acids are important when choosing the treatment.
Peel formulation and strength are selected according to your skin barrier, tendency to develop pigmentation changes and medical history. Temporary peeling may be expected, but chemical burns, infection, herpes reactivation, scarring and persistent pigment changes are possible complications. Personalised preparation and aftercare take these risks into account.
Tightness, rough areas and previous reactions to acids help guide the treatment plan. We tailor the plan to the treatments suitable for you and how well your skin tolerates them.
Tightness, rough areas and previous reactions to acids help guide the treatment plan. During your personal consultation, we assess whether a peel is appropriate at this stage or whether your skin would benefit more from soothing care first.
A gentle cleanse prepares the skin. Sensitive areas are protected, while the strength and contact time are adjusted to the current condition of your skin.
The selected lactic acid formulation is applied evenly and in a controlled manner. Once the treatment is complete, we apply soothing skincare to help keep the skin supple. Tingling, warmth or a burning sensation may occur during the peel. Your skin response is monitored and the treatment adjusted accordingly.
At the end of the treatment, we assess the immediate response of the treated area. The skin may feel smoother after around 3–10 days. Skincare and follow-up appointments are then tailored accordingly.
Please tell us about episodes of skin sensitivity, allergies, medications and any current acid or retinoid products. Do not change prescribed medication unless this has been discussed with your doctor. Recent tanning and irritated or broken skin should also be discussed beforehand.
Use well-tolerated skincare and sun protection. Avoid additional peels until the skin has recovered. Do not scrub or pick at flaking skin, and contact us if irritation persists.
The skin may feel smoother after around 3–10 days. The degree of improvement varies from person to person, and suitable skincare helps support the result. Further appointments are planned only after the skin has recovered and been reassessed.
