The question “which peel should I choose” really splits into two: what skin problem are you solving, and how many downtime-free days can you spare. Formulas target different problems and behave differently afterward—which is why RE/FACE never prescribes “a peel” in general, and always examines the skin first.
What a peel actually does
A peel is a controlled acid treatment that speeds up skin renewal. The session runs about 40 minutes: cleansing, applying the formula, neutralizing it, and a restorative finish. From there the differences come down to the formula itself—it drives both the result and what your skin does over the next few days.
PRX-T33 and BioRePeel—no visible peeling
Premium Italian protocols, from ₽5,100. Their main advantage is that these modern formulas work with no visible peeling, which is why people often book them ahead of an important event when there is no spare downtime. Good fit for dull skin, early signs of aging, reduced firmness, and uneven texture.
Peach PEEL—a gentle refresh
Also from ₽5,100, but a lighter touch—built for skin that needs renewal without an intense treatment. A solid choice when the goal is maintenance rather than tackling a specific, pronounced problem.
Azelaic peel—for inflammation and post-acne marks
From ₽3,500—the most affordable formula in the lineup, and a targeted one: it works specifically on inflammation and post-acne marks rather than general renewal. If the concern is acne, enlarged pores, or oily skin prone to breakouts, the conversation with your doctor usually starts here.
Why this runs as a course, not a one-off
The course is 2 to 6 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart. Skin renews in stages, and one visit shows an effect but does not lock it in—a lasting result is about accumulation, not a single session. Your doctor sets the number of sessions and the intervals based on the formula and the goal at the exam.
What to do before a peel
Peels pair well with other protocols: a deep-cleansing facial preps the skin beforehand, and once the surface is renewed, injectables and device-based treatments work more effectively. The order of treatments—and which formula goes first—is also your doctor’s call, not a fixed sequence from the price list.
Common questions
Will my skin peel afterward?
Depends on the formula. PRX-T33 and BioRePeel work with no visible peeling—that is their main advantage, and why people often pick them ahead of an important event. Other protocols can flake anywhere from light dusting to full sheets: your doctor will tell you upfront so you can plan around it.
Does it hurt?
No pain. You may feel mild warmth or tingling from the acids in the formula—a normal reaction that fades during the session. Redness afterward lasts a few hours.
Can I get a peel in summer?
Some protocols, yes, with strict sun protection. What works for you right now is a call for your doctor—season genuinely affects which formula is safe.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually a course of 2 to 6 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the formula and the goal—your doctor sets it at the exam.
Can I pick a peel myself, just from the description?
A description only points you in a direction. The same complaint—dull skin, say—can have different underlying causes, and the formula gets matched to your actual skin at the exam, not to a self-diagnosis.
