Chemical peeling
A chemical peel rejuvenates the skin and reduces pigmentation, acne scars and fine lines. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, you can choose from effective peels tailored to every skin.
How do skin problems occur?
Skin problems such as pigmentation, sagging, wrinkles and acne scars can be caused by a combination of internal and external factors. As you age, natural cell renewal slows down and collagen and elastin production decreases. This leads to thinning skin, which causes wrinkles, fine lines and loss of elasticity. In addition, influences such as excessive sun exposure, smoking and stress can accelerate the process of skin aging and contribute to skin problems such as pigmentation, uneven skin tone and skin damage.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a treatment where a chemical substance, such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or glycolic acid, is applied to the skin to exfoliate the top layers of the skin. This process stimulates the skin to produce new cells, improving skin structure, reducing wrinkles and fading pigmentation. The peeling also increases collagen and elastin production, making the skin firmer and smoother.
Types of Peels:
1. TCA Peeling (Trichloroacetic Acid)
The TCA Peeling is a medium peel that is suitable for people with skin problems such as pigmentation, wide pores, fine lines and superficial acne scars. The TCA Peeling promotes cell division in the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which make the skin thicker and firmer. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we work with the EASY TCA® PAIN CONTROL, which is almost painless thanks to its special formula. Depending on the skin type, this peeling can be applied in multiple layers, so that we can fully tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs.
2. Neostrata Fruit Acid Peeling
The Neostrata Peeling uses glycolic acid, a powerful fruit acid that deeply exfoliates and hydrates the skin. This peeling is suitable for treating dull skin, pigmentation, acne, fine wrinkles and blackheads. Glycolic acid attracts water and stimulates fibroblasts to produce elastin and collagen. This results in radiant, healthy and younger-looking skin.
How does a chemical peel work?
In the TCA Peeling, the skin is treated with trichloroacetic acid (TCA). This acid removes the top layers of the skin, stimulating the skin to produce new, healthier skin cells. As a result, skin problems such as pigmentation, fine lines and scars are visibly reduced. Thanks to the TCA Peeling, the pores are refined, the skin gets an even complexion and wrinkles are reduced.
In the Neostrata Fruit Acid Peeling, glycolic acid is applied to the skin to exfoliate the damaged skin layer and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is especially suitable for people with dull, dry skin or superficial skin problems such as acne and fine lines.
Preparation with SkinCeuticals Products
In the weeks before the peel, our skin therapists recommend preparing the skin properly with products that contain active ingredients, such as AHA (fruit acids), BHA (salicylic acid) or retinol (vitamin A acid). SkinCeutics offers high-quality products that optimally prepare the skin for treatment, so that the result is predictable and effective. By getting the skin used to these active ingredients, the effects of the peeling are enhanced and the skin recovers more quickly. Using Skinceuticals products, such as Retinol 0.5 or Glycolic Renewal Cleanser, can help bring the skin into optimal condition for exfoliation.
When do you choose a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is ideal for people who suffer from skin problems such as:
- Pigmentation spots
- Acne scars
- Coarse-grained pores
- Fine wrinkles and lines
- Dull or uneven skin texture

In addition, the TCA Peeling is very suitable for people with thin skin, because it strengthens the dermis and makes the skin firmer.

FAQ
FAQs
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a treatment where a special substance, such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or glycolic acid, is applied to the skin. This peeling exfoliates the upper layers of the skin, stimulates cell renewal and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. This improves the skin structure, reduces wrinkles, pigmentation and scars, and gives the skin a fresher appearance.
For which skin problems is a chemical peel suitable?
A chemical peel can be effective for a wide range of skin problems, including pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores and dull skin texture. It is also an excellent choice for improving skin elasticity and firmness.
How does a chemical peel work?
During the treatment, a peel is applied to the skin that removes dead skin cells and stimulates the skin to produce new, healthy cells. This process refines pores, reduces wrinkles and scars, and evens out the complexion. The intensity of the peeling is tailored to your specific skin type and needs.
Does a chemical peel hurt?
The treatment may cause a slight tingling or a warm feeling, depending on the strength of the peel. With deeper peels, this feeling may be slightly more intense, but this is temporary. Our specialists ensure that you feel comfortable during the treatment.
How long does recovery take after a chemical peel?
The recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peeling. With superficial peels, your skin may flake slightly for a few days, while a deeper peel may take up to two weeks of recovery. During the consultation, you will receive advice on what to expect.
Can a chemical peel be combined with other treatments?

For optimal results, we recommend a course of multiple treatments, usually between 3 and 6 sessions, depending on your skin problem. The interval between sessions ranges from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the exfoliation and your skin type.
What do I need to do to prepare my skin for a chemical peel?
To get the best results, we recommend using skin products containing active ingredients, such as glycolic acid or retinol, a few weeks prior to treatment. This enhances the effect of the peeling and speeds up the recovery process.
When will I see results after a chemical peel?
After just a few days, you'll notice an improvement in skin texture, such as a smoother and fresher appearance. The full result, such as the reduction of wrinkles, scars or pigmentation, is usually visible within a few weeks.
What should I not do after a chemical peel?
Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily. In addition, avoid using harsh skin products and give your skin enough time to recover. Our specialists will provide you with specific aftercare instructions.
