Pixel Peel (SkinPen + TCA peel)

Treatment overview

When the skin loses its radiance, evenness and texture, it is rarely down to a single concern — more often it is a combination of fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation and irregularities that leave the complexion looking tired and uneven.

Pixel Peel is an advanced combined treatment that brings together microneedling (SkinPen) and a chemical peel (TCA) to achieve deep regeneration and a visible improvement in skin quality.

What makes this treatment so effective is the synergy of the two methods:

  • microneedling creates microchannels and stimulates collagen production
  • the TCA peel works chemically, removing surface damage and stimulating renewal

Together, they act on multiple layers of the skin — both at the surface and at depth.

What is particularly interesting is that the Pixel Peel combination delivers a considerably stronger effect than either treatment on its own, precisely because the active ingredients penetrate more deeply through the microchannels created by microneedling.

On the other hand, patients often notice that the skin looks rough, uneven or lacklustre — even with a good home skincare routine.

This shows up in photographs, without make-up or in natural light, where the texture of the skin becomes more pronounced.

In everyday and professional settings, smooth and even skin conveys a sense of polish, care and confidence — whereas uneven texture can leave quite the opposite impression.

Pixel Peel does not change the face — it transforms the quality of the skin, giving it a smoother, fresher and more uniform appearance.


How is the treatment performed?

The treatment is carried out in two stages:

  1. Microneedling (SkinPen)
    • creates controlled microchannels in the skin
    • stimulates natural regeneration and collagen production
  2. TCA peel
    • applied immediately after the microneedling
    • penetrates more deeply and amplifies the renewal effect

The procedure is precise and controlled, with the depth and intensity tailored to each individual.


Who is the treatment for?

The treatment is ideal for those who:

  • have uneven skin texture
  • have enlarged pores
  • have acne scarring
  • have pigmentation or sun damage
  • wish to see a visible improvement in skin quality

It is well suited to patients seeking a more intensive, yet non-surgical, treatment.


Our approach

Pixel Peel is not a one-strength-fits-all treatment.

At our clinic, we tailor the treatment to:

  • your skin type
  • the degree of damage
  • your personal goals

We carefully control the depth of the microneedling and the intensity of the peel in order to achieve the maximum effect alongside complete safety.

We do not work aggressively — we work intelligently.

We take the time to assess and explain — because we want you to know exactly what to expect.

Patients most often notice that the skin appears:

  • smoother
  • fresher
  • more even

…and this is often visible after the very first treatment.


Preparing for the treatment

Before the treatment we recommend:

  • avoiding sun exposure and using a high SPF
  • discontinuing retinoids for several days beforehand
  • arriving with cleansed skin

A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied where required.


Recovery and precautions

Recovery is more pronounced than with milder treatments.

Following the treatment you can expect:

  • redness and a sensation of warmth
  • flaking of the skin over several days

Recommendations:

  • avoid sun exposure and use a high SPF
  • use gentle skincare
  • do not pick at flaking skin

When are results visible?

Results develop gradually over time.

  • the first effects appear within a few days
  • the full result develops over several weeks

The outcome:

  • smoother texture
  • a more even complexion
  • improved skin quality

Treatment combinations

For the maximum regenerative effect:

  • CO2 Smaxel — for deeper regeneration and scarring
  • Candela Nordlys — for pigmentation and vascular concerns
  • Morpheus8 — for collagen stimulation and tightening
  • HIFU — for lifting
  • Icoone Laser Med — for microcirculation

In addition:

  • PRP treatments

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Here you’ll find answers to the questions our clients most often ask about our services and treatments.

    + What is Pixel Peel and how does it work on the skin?
    Pixel Peel combines microneedling (SkinPen) with a TCA chemical peel. The microneedling allows the peel to penetrate more deeply, intensifying the regenerative, exfoliating and renewing effect on the skin.
    + What are the main advantages of this combination?
    A stronger and faster result compared with either treatment performed on its own — the skin becomes smoother, more even and visibly higher in quality.
    + Which skin concerns is this treatment best suited to?
    Acne scarring, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation and signs of ageing.
    + When are the results visible?
    The skin goes through a renewal process, with results becoming visible from a few days to a few weeks afterwards, continuing to improve over time.
    + How many treatments are needed?
    Depending on the condition of the skin, a course of treatments is often recommended for the optimum result.
    + Is the treatment painful?
    Any discomfort is well managed with a topical anaesthetic cream, which makes for a far more comfortable experience.
    + Why choose Pixel Peel over a classic chemical peel?
    Because it combines mechanical and chemical stimulation of the skin, delivering a stronger and deeper regenerative effect.
