How often may one repeat this?

A fruit acid therapy should normally consist of 6-8 peelings. The effects of this fruit acid therapy last for different lengths of time depending on the skin type, but in the best case up to 2 years. If the skin condition deteriorates again, a new therapy can be started.

Costs for a fruit acid peeling

The cost of a fruit acid peeling can vary greatly. Often one pays between 50 and 150 Euros per session, whereby about 5-10 sessions are recommended in order to achieve a dose that is high enough. Therefore it depends very much on the price of the practitioner and the number of sessions.

So the price can be between 250-1500 Euro, which is a very wide range. Often a complete package with 10 sessions is offered for 300-700 Euro. Since fruit acid therapy is one of the aesthetic treatments, it is not covered by the statutory health insurance companies.

Private health insurance companies do not normally cover the costs either. In exceptional cases, however, it is possible that the costs are covered by private insurance companies. For example, if there is severe acne, which means that the therapy can be considered medically necessary.

If one would like to buy a set for fruit acid therapy privately, the costs are usually around 30-150€. Again, the prices vary greatly – depending on what is to be included in the set, the composition of the products and the brand from which the products are purchased. To avoid side effects such as scarring, the treatment should, however, at best be carried out by an experienced expert.Fruit acid peelings can be bought in the drugstore for just a few euros, but their concentration is not particularly high, so that no results can be achieved as clearly as with the professional treatment.

Alternatives to a fruit acid peeling

The possible alternatives to fruit acid peeling depend on the underlying cause for the treatment. In general, some points should be considered for an improved skin appearance. These include: As an alternative to pure peeling, fruit acid creams can be used, either as an additive to the peeling or as the only treatment.

However, the possibilities for treating skin blemishes or imperfections are almost unlimited. In order to find the appropriate treatment, one should look into the possible causes of the skin problem. A discussion with a dermatologist (dermatologist) can help here.
