Fruit Acid Peels:

Your Treatment with Dr. Meike Schröder

Gentle Skin Renewal for a Fresh, Even Complexion

The fruit acid peel (AHA peel) is a time-tested medical-aesthetic treatment designed to specifically enhance skin quality. At our institute, SCHÖNE HAUT in Berlin, we utilize fruit acid peels to visibly refine, smooth, and brighten the skin.

Derived from natural sources such as grapes, apples, lemons, oranges, or sugarcane, these acids facilitate controlled, superficial skin renewal. By dissolving dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, the treatment leaves the skin looking fresher, finer, and more balanced.

Who is a Fruit Acid Peel suitable for?

A fruit acid peel is a medically sound and effective solution for:

  • Acne and congested skin
  • Rosacea
  • Enlarged pores
  • Pigmentation spots and melasma
  • Dull, tired, or lackluster skin

As fruit acid peels are among the mildest medical-grade peels, they are also an excellent choice for sensitive skin.

Preparing for Your Peel

To ensure an optimal and even result, proper skin preparation is essential. We will provide you with a specially formulated pre-treatment cream to be applied thinly each day to clean, dry skin for approximately 10 days before your appointment. This allows your skin to adapt perfectly to the peeling process.

The Treatment Process

After a thorough cleansing, the fruit acid gel is applied evenly and left to work for 3 to 7 minutes, depending on your skin type.

You may experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation during this time—this is completely normal. Our experienced medical aesthetician will be by your side throughout the session, continuously monitoring your skin’s reaction.

What to Expect After the Fruit Acid Peel Treatment

Immediately following the peel, your skin may show slight redness. To soothe the area, we apply cooling techniques and specialized regenerating skincare products.

If desired, we can apply a light touch of makeup so you can resume your daily activities immediately.

Post-Treatment Care for Fruit Acid Peels

  • Avoid intensive sun exposure and tanning beds for up to 4 weeks after completing your peel series.
  • Consistent, high-level sun protection is vital during this period to keep your skin fully protected.

Recommended Number of Sessions for Fruit Acid Peel Treatment

For lasting results and a visibly improved complexion, we recommend a series of 6–8 treatments at weekly intervals.
To maintain the effect, the treatment can be repeated every 4–8 weeks.

For those with oily or large-pored skin, we often utilize a combination peel containing salicylic acid to intensify the results and achieve a significant sebum-reducing effect.
