peels in amsterdam
Skin looking a little dull, uneven or congested? Fine lines, pigmentation or breakouts that just won’t settle? You’re not alone. A peel is one of the most effective ways to renew and refresh your skin. By removing dead skin cells and encouraging cell renewal, it can visibly improve your skin’s texture and tone.
At UMA Clinic, we use peels for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and pigmentation to a dull complexion and fine lines. We work with gentle, proven acids such as glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid, as well as TCA and Jessner peels, always tailored to your skin type and needs. The result? Smoother, fresher, more radiant-looking skin.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a solution based on naturally derived acids that’s applied to the skin. These acids gently remove the top layers of skin in a controlled way and encourage your skin to produce new, healthy cells. Think smoother, more even, fresher-looking skin. Depending on the depth of the peel (superficial, medium or deep), your skin may flake lightly or peel more intensely for a few days.
who is a peel suitable for?
A peel is suitable for anyone who wants to refresh their skin or target a specific skin concern.

Depending on the type of peel, within a few days to a few weeks you may notice a fresher complexion, less visible pores, fewer pigmentation marks or breakouts and a smoother skin surface. A superficial peel often gives an instant glow, while deeper peels need a short recovery period. Good skin is worth a little patience.

frequently asked questions (faq)
Not really. You may feel a light tingling or warmth. Deeper peels can feel a little like burning, but this usually only lasts a short while.
That depends on your goals. For a glow, one peel can sometimes be enough. For pigmentation, acne or fine lines, we usually recommend a course of several sessions. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you.
With a superficial peel, you’ll often see a difference within a few days. Deeper peels show results after 1–2 weeks, once your skin has recovered.
After a mild peel, usually yes. After a more intensive peel, you may notice a little redness or flaking, so it’s worth planning around that.
After a superficial peel, you can wear make-up again after 24 hours. After a deeper peel, we recommend waiting a few days and using mineral make-up only.
