Skin renewal & medical advice

Peelings in Antwerp

Peelings at Carpe Clinic renew the skin by loosening the upper cell layers, for a fresher and more even complexion. You do not choose the strength yourself: after a skin improvement consultation the doctor determines which of the three intensities, Basic, Advanced or Intens, your skin can handle at that moment.

How does the doctor choose the right peel?

The doctor sets the intensity after a skin improvement consultation, based on your skin type, your skin concern and the season. Basic refreshes, Advanced targets pigment and texture, Intens works deeper on scars and ageing. This avoids a peel that is too strong for sensitive skin, or too mild for a stubborn concern. A peel is often combined with other techniques from the skin improvement overview; for deeper renewal, also compare the facial laser treatments.

From consultation to the right intensity

Explore the options

Compare the three intensities and read on each treatment page what the peel does and how the skin reacts.

Have your skin assessed

During the skin improvement consultation the doctor determines which intensity your skin can handle at that moment.

Set the rhythm

The number of sessions, interval and aftercare are then defined individually, taking the season into account.

What is the difference between a peel and a laser treatment?

A peel loosens the upper skin layers with an acid. A facial laser treatment works with light and reaches deeper. On uneven texture or a dull complexion, your doctor often starts with a peel.

Which peel suits sensitive skin?

On skin that flushes quickly, your doctor picks the mildest strength and builds up slowly. The reaction after the first session guides the next step. A test on a small area remains possible.

When in the year is a course of peels planned?

A course often falls in autumn or winter, when uv exposure is lower. In summer a light peel remains possible, provided sun protection is strict.

Which custom peeling suits your skin?

Carpe Clinic matches the peel to your skin type and your concern. A mild peel refreshes the complexion with no downtime, a medium peel works deeper on texture and pigment, and a targeted peel treats acne, cysts or melasma. The eleven variants above cover those three registers.

What is the downtime after a peel?

It depends on the intensity. After a Basic peel the skin is slightly pink for a few hours. After an Advanced or Intens peel the skin may feel redder for a few days and flake slightly. Flaking is part of the renewal: do not scratch, and use a high sun protection factor for the first weeks.
