A chemical peel sounds harsh, but it isn’t. It is fluid, has no grains and does not rub. In this video, Magdalena Brügger, founder of CP Praxis, explains why our skin sometimes needs acids, how peels are used for pigmentation, acne and sensitive skin, and what they have to do with the skin’s microbiome.

What you will learn
- A chemical peel is fluid, with no grains and no rubbing.
- The skin’s surface is naturally slightly acidic, not neutral. That is why acids can support skin health.
- Peels are used for pigmentation, acne and sensitive skin, often as a course of several treatments.
- Modern peels are very well controllable and have no downtime.
- Certain peels can help bring the skin’s microbiome back into balance.
Video transcript
Special treatments at CP Praxis. Why do we focus on special treatments? Sometimes the skin needs something different from the normal routine. We have a problem and need a solution. These are, for example, pigmentation disorders, acne or rosacea. Of course, we do not treat rosacea directly, but there are peels that are also suitable for rosacea.
But why peels? It does not mean that they are aggressive or that they burn the skin. A chemical peel means that it has no grains and does not rub. It is fluid, and our skin sometimes needs that. We must not forget that our microbiome is acidic. It is not neutral and not alkaline, but acidic. That is why acids are sometimes very important for our skin. They support skin health and allow us to treat the skin.
For certain concerns, we use peels as a therapy, often over several treatments. Very important: these treatments have no downtime. Today they are so well developed that we can control them very precisely. They are an excellent tool for addressing certain skin concerns.
And today there are even ways to use chemical peels, which are a very good alternative to mechanical or physical peels, to renew the microbiome and bring it back into the right balance.
