Chemical Peel in Istanbul, Maslak

Professional superficial and medium-depth peels for pigmentation, acne marks, dull skin, and uneven texture.

Most Skincare Stops at the Surface. Chemical Peels Don’t.

Most skincare products only work on the surface. But real skin renewal happens deeper.

If you’re dealing with pigmentation, acne marks, dull tone, or uneven texture — serums alone won’t fix it.

Chemical peels work by removing damaged skin layers and triggering controlled renewal.

The result: smoother texture, clearer tone, and visibly healthier skin.

How Chemical Peels Transform Your Skin

Chemical peels remove damaged skin layers and trigger new cell turnover.

This process improves pigmentation, smooths texture, and reveals clearer skin underneath.

The result: visible change in days — not months.

What to Expect: Your Chemical Peel Session

Step 1

🗣 Consultation & Skin Assessment

We examine your skin type, sensitivity, and specific concerns. You'll tell us your goal (glow vs. serious pigmentation work). We decide together: superficial or medium peel? Which acid? What depth?

Step 2

🌿 Skin Preparation

Gentle cleanser removes makeup, oil, and dead surface cells. Your skin is dried thoroughly — this matters for even penetration.

Step 3

⚡ Peel Application

The chemical solution is brushed onto your face systematically. You'll feel warmth, slight tingling, or mild stinging (normal; pain-free for most clients). A timer runs. Stronger peels require a “frost” endpoint.

Step 4

🧴 Neutralization

A neutralizing solution stops the peel reaction. Residual acid is removed. Your skin feels cooler, and relief begins.

Step 5

🛡️ Aftercare & Protection

SPF 30+ is applied. You receive written aftercare instructions and a product list (cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen). For medium peels, you also get a peeling schedule timeline.

⏱ 5-Step Process (30–45 minutes total)
Total appointment time: 30–45 minutes. You can return to work immediately after a superficial peel, or plan 5–7 days of light social downtime for a medium peel.

Results Timeline: What Happens When

Timeframe	What You'll Notice
Day of Treatment	Mild redness (superficial) or moderate redness (medium). Skin feels tight. Possibly slight swelling next morning (medium peel).
Days 1–2	Superficial peel: light flaking or no visible peeling. Medium peel: begins to feel dry. Possible light peeling starts.
Days 3–5 (Medium Peel)	Peak peeling phase. Visible flakes or sheets of skin. Do not pick. Underneath: noticeably clearer, more even tone. Plan to stay home or use makeup.
Week 2	Peeling complete. New skin is fully surfaced. Redness fading. You'll see 40–60% of final results.
After 3–4 Sessions	Cumulative results: pigmentation significantly reduced, scars less visible, pores refined, skin glowing. Best results at 4-week intervals.

Note: Medium peels require realistic downtime. Plan accordingly. Superficial peels have no downtime but require 4–6 sessions for dramatic results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a chemical peel cost?

A: Superficial peels start at ₺2,500. Medium peels (TCA/Jessner’s) start at ₺3,500. Series discounts available (3-peel packages). Final price depends on area treated and peel depth. We quote exact price during consultation.

How many sessions do I need?

For glow and texture: 4–6 superficial peels, every 3–4 weeks. For pigmentation reversal: 3–4 medium peels, spaced 6–8 weeks apart (safer interval for deeper peels). You’ll see results after session 1; cumulative benefit by session 3.

Does it hurt?

Superficial peels feel like warmth and light tingling—most clients rate it 2–3/10 discomfort. Medium peels are more intense (4–6/10); the neutralizer brings immediate relief. Numbing is optional for sensitive clients (topical anesthetic).

What's the actual difference between superficial and medium peels?

Depth, primarily. Superficial acids (AHA/BHA) dissolve bonds in the epidermis; you get a glow. Medium acids (TCA/Jessner’s) penetrate into the dermis; you get pigmentation reduction, scar softening, and dramatic texture improvement. Medium requires more recovery but delivers stronger results faster.

Can I get a peel as a tourist visiting Istanbul?

Yes. Book at least 3 days before your departure (to minimize peeling-in-public risk). Superficial peels are better for tourists (no downtime). If you choose medium, know you’ll be shedding skin for 3–5 days. Bring extra sunscreen and hydrating products. We provide detailed portable aftercare. Book Now

What should I do after my peel?

Day 1: Gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, SPF 50. Avoid hot water, sweating (gym/sauna), and active ingredients. Days 3–5 (medium peel): Do not pick or force peeling. Moisturize heavily. Reapply SPF every 2 hours if outside. Avoid makeup if possible; if needed, use clean brushes. Week 2+: Resume normal routine gradually. Retinoids safe after peeling complete.

Can I get a chemical peel if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, with modifications. We’ll start with lower-concentration acids and shorter contact times. Superficial peels are gentler than medium. Pre-peel skin barrier support (ceramides, niacinamide) helps. Discuss sensitivity history during consultation so we can plan accordingly.
