In today's blog post you'll learn everything you need to know about our medical peels at OmniMed.

Medical vs. cosmetic peelings

Medical peelings and cosmetic peelings differ in their mode of action, intensity and areas of application. While cosmetic peelings are primarily used for superficial cleansing and skin care, medical peelings go deeper and are usually used to treat specific skin problems.

Cosmetic peels are often mild and aim to remove dead skin cells, smooth the skin and give it a fresh appearance. They often contain ingredients such as fruit acids (AHA), enzymes or small abrasive particles. These peels are suitable for regular use and can be applied at home without any significant side effects.

Medical peels, on the other hand, are carried out by specially trained professionals and use stronger active ingredients, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or more concentrated fruit acids. They penetrate deeper into the skin layers and are able to treat more serious skin problems such as acne, pigmentation disorders, deep wrinkles and scars. Due to their intensity, medical peels may require a longer recovery time and should be performed under medical supervision to avoid complications and achieve optimal results.

Medical peeling for acne

To treat acne effectively, medical peels offer far better chances of success than cosmetic peels. Acne is often caused by excessive sebum production in combination with a cornification disorder, which leads to pimples, blackheads and blemished skin.

During treatment with a medical peel, the skin is first thoroughly cleansed and then nourished. The anti-inflammatory, depigmenting and antioxidant effects of the peeling ensure an improved complexion. The acids it contains inhibit bacterial growth and thus prevent acne from spreading further.

In addition, clogged pores are cleansed and the skin is regenerated. The treatment helps to refine the skin's texture and reduce impurities, resulting in healthier and more radiant skin overall.

Anti-aging peeling

Medical peels can also be used extremely effectively in the field of anti-ageing. Peeling stimulates the skin's collagen production, which improves the skin's ability to retain moisture. As a result, small dryness lines and sunken skin areas are visibly reduced. The skin's overall appearance is plumper and firmer, making the skin appear significantly younger and fresher.

Treatment of pigment disorders

Pigmentation disorders such as pigment spots, lentigines and melasma often occur on sun-exposed skin areas such as cheeks, forehead, upper lip, décolleté and hands. They result from excessive melanin production, which is influenced by UV radiation, stress, hormone fluctuations and lifestyle. Regular medical peelings can also reduce these hyperpigmentations, even out the complexion and smooth out fine lines. The result is a rosy, radiant complexion and healthier skin.
