Fruit Acid Peeling Berlin: Maximum Skin Renewal at Kosmetikinstitut Expert
Living in a metropolis like Berlin means energy, vibrancy and diversity – but for our skin, it often means stress. Fine particulate matter, hectic daily routines and changing weather conditions leave their marks: The complexion looks dull, blemishes appear and fine lines deepen. At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin Mitte, we offer you professional fruit acid peeling, one of the most effective methods in modern aesthetic cosmetology to free your skin from these burdens. This intensive exfoliation goes far beyond a classic peeling. It stimulates cell renewal deep within, dissolves dead skin cells and reveals the fresh, flawless skin that lies beneath the stressed surface. Experience how your skin visibly refines and your natural radiance returns.
- Customized acid compositions: We don't use "one acid for all" but precisely adjust the concentration (e.g., glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid) to your skin type and tolerance level.
- Dermatological expertise: Our beauticians are specially trained in chemical peels to ensure maximum results with the highest safety.
- Berlin-Mitte hygiene standards: We work according to the strictest hygiene protocols to eliminate irritation and guarantee optimal healing.
- Comprehensive aftercare: A fruit acid peeling doesn't end in the treatment room. You'll receive a detailed home care plan from us to secure long-term results.
- High-end active ingredients: We rely on renowned cosmetic brands whose acids are stabilized and buffered for even penetration.
Who is the treatment ideal for?
Chemical peeling with fruit acids (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) is an all-rounder in device-based cosmetology. It's excellent for clients who want significant improvement in skin texture without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. The treatment is particularly recommended for:
- Acne and blemished skin: Opens clogged pores, has anti-inflammatory effects and sustainably reduces sebum production.
- Hyperpigmentation and age spots: Brightens pigmentation disorders and creates an even skin tone (porcelain complexion).
- Fine lines and loss of elasticity: Stimulates collagen and elastin production in the dermis for firmer contours.
- Large pores and scars: Refines skin texture and visually smooths mild acne scars.
- Keratinization disorders: Eliminates the "gray veil" of dead skin cells in hyperkeratosis.
Your Treatment Process
A fruit acid peeling at Kosmetikinstitut Expert is a controlled process requiring the highest precision. Plan about 45 to 60 minutes for your appointment. Here's how we design your transformation:
- Skin analysis & preparation: First, we analyze the current state of your skin barrier. The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to lower the pH level and prepare the skin for the acid.
- Acid application: The selected fruit acid mixture is applied quickly and evenly with a fan brush. You'll feel a tingling or slight burning sensation – a sign that the acid is working.
- Exposure phase & neutralization: Under constant observation, the peeling remains on the skin for a few minutes. Once the desired degree of exfoliation is reached (or with slight redness), the acid is neutralized with a special solution and the skin's pH is restored.
- Calming & final care: Your skin is now extremely receptive. We apply a soothing mask and highly concentrated serums (e.g., hyaluronic acid), followed by high sun protection, which is mandatory after the treatment.

Analogy for clarification: Imagine your skin like a valuable painting that has been covered with a layer of dust over the years. Creams often only clean the frame. Fruit acid peeling, on the other hand, gently removes the veil so that the original colors and luminosity of the picture can shine again in full splendor.
Contraindications: When should fruit acid peeling be avoided?
Although fruit acid peels are very safe, there are situations where we must refrain from treatment to protect your health. Transparency is our top priority here.

- Pregnancy and breastfeeding (depending on the type of acid, salicylic acid is often contraindicated).
Temporary Contraindications
- Fresh sunburn: The skin must be completely healed before being "irritated" again.
- Laser treatments or waxing: A gap of at least 14 days should be maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fruit Acid Peeling
Most clients experience a tingling, slight burning or warmth sensation during application. This is completely normal and indicates that the acid is active. Once neutralization occurs, this feeling immediately subsides. Severe pain does not occur with correct application.
While a single treatment provides a "freshness boost," we recommend a course for lasting results with acne, scars or wrinkles. This usually consists of 3 to 6 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. In Berlin, we're happy to create an individual treatment plan for you.
In principle yes, but with limitations. Since the skin loses its natural light protection through the acid and becomes extremely light-sensitive, consistent sun protection (SPF 50+) is essential. In the peak summer months, we advise against very intensive peels or recommend gentler variants.
Immediately after treatment, the skin is usually slightly reddened, similar to after a walk in the cold or a mild sunburn. This redness usually subsides within a few hours. With stronger peels, the skin may peel slightly after 2-3 days – this is a desired renewal process.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids like glycolic acid) are water-soluble and primarily work on the surface – ideal for anti-aging, glow and dry skin. BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid like salicylic acid) is oil-soluble and penetrates deeper into pores to dissolve sebum – therefore perfect for blemishes and acne.
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours so the skin can breathe and pores don't get clogged again immediately. Use this time to give your skin rest and moisture.
Yes, definitely. By removing the top skin layers and stimulating collagen production, shallow scars can be significantly smoothed and the overall complexion made more even. Deep scars, however, often require complementary methods like microneedling.
At the cosmetic institute, we work with significantly higher concentrations and lower pH values that act in the deeper skin layers. Products for home use are much more weakly dosed for safety reasons and usually work only very superficially.
There is no strict age limit. For teenagers, it's often used for acne treatment, from mid-20s for prevention of first wrinkles ("pre-aging") and later as a classic anti-aging treatment. The intensity is adapted to age and skin condition.
Avoid tanning beds, intense sunbathing and the use of retinol-containing creams or peels at home 1 week before your appointment. Ideally, come to your appointment without makeup. Men should not shave on the treatment day.
