The different types of facial peels available in Marseille

Superficial peel: immediate radiance boost

Superficial peels gently act on the upper layer of the epidermis. They generally use fruit acids (AHAs) or glycolic acid to stimulate cell renewal.

Indications:

  • Dull complexion, enlarged pores, tired skin
  • First wrinkles, minor imperfections

Results: smoother skin, refined texture, immediate radiance.
Price: €120 per session.
Package: 4 sessions for €525 with 3 cosmetics to prepare the skin.

Medium peels, often based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA), act more deeply on the dermis. They treat pigmentation spots, fine lines, and mild acne scars.


Indications:

  • Uneven skin tone 
  • Sun spots or hormonal spots
  • Moderate wrinkles

Results: firmer skin, even skin tone, visibly reduced wrinkles.
Price: $150 per session.

More powerful, medium-depth peels often combine several acids for a more intense action. They strongly stimulate collagen production and offer a lasting rejuvenating effect.


Indications:

  • Deep wrinkles
  • Marked scars
  • Advanced skin aging

Results: regenerated skin, smoothed wrinkles, improved texture.
Price: $250 per session.

Dermamelan® peelingis an advanced medical protocol designed to treat stubborn pigmentation spots (melasma, lentigines). It works by regulating melanin production and restoring an even complexion.

Indications:

  • Brown spots, pregnancy mask, hyperpigmentation

  • Dark or sensitive skin

Results: radiant, even skin with no visible blemishes after a few weeks.
Price: €1,200 for the complete treatment.

Before and after a peel: protocol and preparatory care

Skin preparation

Before each session, the cosmetic doctor prescribes a preparatory cream suited to your skin type. This treatment prepares the epidermis and improves the penetration of the peel.

Examples of pre-peeling treatments (skin preparation):

  • Creams containing glycolic acid, vitamin C, or retinoids (day cream and night cream)
  • Strict sun protection
  • Discontinue irritating treatments 48 hours before the session.
Skin preparation is mandatory prior to peeling in order to lower its pH and thus avoid any reaction.

FAQ – Facial peeling Marseille

What is the difference between a superficial peel and a medium peel?

Superficial peels act on the outer layer of the skin for an immediate radiance effect, while medium peels penetrate deeper to correct dark spots and fine lines.

On average between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the area treated.

Slight redness, a tight feeling, or flaking may occur for a few days. These effects are normal and temporary.

The complexion is brighter after the first session. Full results are visible after 7 to 10 days, the time it takes for cell renewal.

It is not recommended to have a peel during periods of intense sun exposure. Spring and fall are the ideal times.

A protocol of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
