FotoPeel

The Fotopeel procedure consists of two stages - IPL photo-rejuvenation and chemical exfoliation. Combining these two effective procedures ensures even better results in skin rejuvenation and care.

What are the indications for the Fotopeel procedure?

• Pigment spots
• Redness of the skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Laxity of the skin
• Superficial wrinkles
• Aging skin

What does the Fotopeel procedure look like?

The photopeel procedure begins with IPL photorejuvenation, which reduces pigment spots and redness while stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Then acid is applied to the skin. The effect depends on the acid used: the skin can be renewed and skin surface smoothed, inflammatory processes can be reduced, pigment spots can be bleached and the complexion made more even.

This results in smoother and brighter skin, reduced redness and pigment spots.

When will I see the results of the Fotopeel procedure and how long will it take to recover?

The final result will be visible after 3 or 4 weeks.

Recovery takes about 1 week. Redness and a slight burning sensation is normal after the procedure and will disappear in a few hours. In the following week, the skin may be drier and pigment crusts may develop on the skin. We advise you to nourish and moisturize the skin during this time.
