Autumn is the traditional season for a professional peel, but whether you need one is decided by a cosmetologist who knows your skin. I recommend a peel once every 14 days, no more than 3–5 sessions, and then a break. For the best effect the skin needs pre-peel preparation and, without fail, proper home care after the treatment.
How often you can have a peel
A professional peel is done as a course: once every 14 days, no more than 3–5 sessions, then a break. The treatment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes, and the renewing effect shows on day 2–5.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Frequency | once every 14 days |
| Course | no more than 3–5 sessions |
| After the course | a break |
| Treatment time | 30–60 minutes |
| When renewal shows | on day 2–5 |
Whether you need one is the cosmetologist's call
Whether you need a peel is decided by your cosmetologist, who knows your skin, its features, your body, your routine and the details. Autumn is the traditional season for peels, but the season itself decides nothing. What matters more is the goal: acne, pigmentation, a dull complexion or age-related changes.
Types of peels and what they are for
A peel is not one treatment but a group of methods, and each solves its own problem. The Biotonika clinic offers peels for different skin concerns, plus gentle products for home use. The cosmetologist sets the frequency and number of sessions for a specific peel within the general schedule.
| Peel | What for | Where | Price (as of October 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peel for acne, post-acne and couperose | inflammation, post-acne marks, broken capillaries | in the clinic | from 1,300 UAH |
| Peel for hyperpigmentation | pigment spots, uneven tone | in the clinic | from 1,300 UAH |
| "Radiant Skin" peel | dull, tired skin | in the clinic | from 1,300 UAH |

Preparation and aftercare
The result of a peel depends not only on the treatment itself but also on what happens before and after it. For the best effect the skin needs pre-peel preparation with a special cream, and after the treatment proper home care is a must — it speeds up recovery.
- Before the peel. A special pre-peel cream; sometimes homeomesotherapy or biorevitalization.
- During. A combined treatment is possible: a superficial peel and mesotherapy in one session.
- After the peel. Essential and very important — proper home care chosen by the cosmetologist for your skin.
Why you shouldn't prescribe yourself a peel
Please don't prescribe yourself a peel — take care of your skin. And especially don't use untested products. Even if you can't get to a cosmetologist, you can always book an online consultation and discuss these questions.
You can book a consultation with cosmetologist Larysa Lonchar — in person or online.
