Glycolic acid peel, superficial
To do what ? Give a boost , homogenize the pigmentation, smooth skin texture.
How's it going ? 15 days before the session, the skin is prepared with specific products. On D-day, the acidic solution is applied to the entire face, with a concentration that rises crescendo throughout the sessions. It stinks a little, but nothing very serious. It is the ideal treatment at lunchtime because it leaves no trace.

Low dose trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel
To do what ? Remove wrinkles, spots, some acne scars.
How's it going ? After 2 weeks of depigmenting preparation, the peel is applied using large cotton swabs until a slight icing is obtained. It heats dry. A fan refreshes the skin. The acid is then neutralized, and the skin rinsed. The face may be red for 1 to 2 days, then peel. Then appears a new pink skin, brand new. Prefer weak dosages, even if it is necessary to renew the operation to avoid redness and flaking.
Price: From 250 € the session. Allow 1 to 4 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart.
Laser: factionalized CO2 resurfacing
To do what ? Remove wrinkles, spots, some scars, improve the tone of the skin.
How's it going ? Metal protective shells are worn on the eyes. The doctor anesthetizes the face and then abrades the skin "dotted" to leave areas of healthy skin and allow healing faster. Leaving the session, the skin is red. 1 or 2 days later, small crusts may appear. On the 5th or 6th day, the skin becomes smooth again.
Price: 800 € the session for all the face, 400 € by zone. Allow 2 sessions spaced 2 months apart. Then possibly 1 to 2 additional sessions to perfect the result, at lower power, with a week of maximum redness.
Lasers: the pulsed light lamp
To do what ? Eliminate stains, homogenize the complexion, improve the texture of the skin, reduce redness.
How's it going ? We wear glasses. The doctor applies a gel to the skin to allow the device to slide easily. Then he juxtaposes his shots to cover the whole face. It pecks, it heats, but it's bearable.
And after ? Redness for a few hours, then the spots darken and form crusts that fall after 10 days. Then appears a beautiful complexion clear and unified.
Price: From 150 € to 300 € the session. Count 3 to 4 sessions spaced a month.
Pigmentary Laser (Q-Switched Nd: Yag)
To do what ? Eliminate age spots, sun lentigines, freckles, etc.
How's it going ? Anesthetic cream is applied if needed, 1 to 2 hours before the session. Glasses are put on and the doctor targets the melanin spot that "bursts" without burning the surrounding skin. In the following hours, the spot becomes gray. Then, it darkens and thickens. A crustel falls after 10 days.
Price: 200 € the session. Allow 1 to 2 sessions spaced a month and a half.
