A chemical peel is a facial treatment that applies acids to the skin to support its natural renewal and improve the look of dull skin, uneven texture or a tendency to blemishes and marks. At Nova Center we work with different acids —glycolic, salicylic, mandelic or lactic— and adjust the intensity according to the skin assessment, aiming to build radiance and a more even tone gradually. It may suit anyone whose skin looks tired or who wants to start a renewal plan, though not every skin or time of year is suitable: the protocol and number of sessions are defined in a prior assessment. Afterwards, aftercare and high sun protection are essential, because the skin is left more sensitive to the sun. Nova Center is in Les Corts, Barcelona.

What this page helps you decide
This page helps you understand what the treatment addresses, when it may fit and when another option may suit you better. It is not a diagnosis: suitability is always confirmed in a prior assessment, where your goals, your skin and your history are reviewed.
When it may not be the first option
- You are looking for an immediate change equivalent to surgery.
- You expect a fixed or assured result.
- There is active irritation, infection or lesions in the area right now.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding (depending on the treatment).
- You have recently had other procedures in the area that should be assessed first.

Frequently asked questions
What is a chemical peel and what is it for?
It is a facial treatment that applies a solution of acids to the skin to support its renewal. It is used to work on dull skin, uneven texture, mild marks or a tendency to blemishes. At Nova Center it is performed in-cabin and at different intensities depending on the goal.
Which acids are used and how is one chosen?
At Nova Center several acids are available, such as glycolic, salicylic, mandelic or lactic. Each has a different use, so the choice and intensity are not standard: they are decided at the skin assessment, based on your skin type, your goal and the time of year.
Is it painful? What does the session feel like?
It is usually well tolerated, though it is not a neutral sensation. During the application it is common to feel warmth, stinging or a slight tingling that is generally tolerable and short-lived. Afterwards the skin may look a little red or feel tight for a few hours. What you feel depends on the acid and intensity, tailored to your skin.
How many sessions do I need and what does it cost?
A chemical peel is usually planned in sessions within a renewal plan, rather than as a one-off. The indicative number and the price depend on the type of peel, the area and your goal, so they are confirmed at the prior assessment, with no obligation, before starting.
What aftercare and sun protection are needed?
After the session the skin is more sensitive, so you receive personalised guidance: hydration, gentle products and, above all, high and consistent sun protection. It is best to avoid direct sun exposure and harsh exfoliants in the following days. Following this guidance is key to caring for both the result and your skin.
Can a chemical peel be done in summer?
It depends on the type of peel and your sun exposure. Some acids and certain intensities are not advisable during periods of strong sunlight, while gentler options can be considered with strict sun protection. That is why the time of year is also taken into account at the assessment.
Do I need a prior assessment?
We recommend an assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable and define the protocol for your case.
Can I expect a specific result?
Results vary from person to person. We do not promise a specific result.
