Advanced resurfacing treatments designed for men
A chemical peel can be one of the most effective treatments for improving acne, pigmentation and overall skin texture, clarity and tone, when done correctly.
Men’s skin is thicker, produces more oil and reacts differently to exfoliation. That’s why standard peel treatments often lead to irritation, uneven results or unnecessary downtime.
At Mr. Adam, peeling treatments are part of a structured, data-driven system — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Our approach to peeling is called: RESET | Resurfacing Treatment.
What is a peeling treatment for men?
A peeling treatment (chemical peel) uses controlled exfoliation to stimulate skin renewal and improve overall skin function.
Peeling treatments can help with:
-
Acne and breakouts
-
Pigmentation and sun damage
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Fine lines
-
Dull or congested skin
The effectiveness of a peel depends on selecting the right formulation and depth, based on your individual skin condition, not a fixed protocol.
Skin analysis - Skin scan
Because peeling treatments work in deeper skin layers, every new client starts with a Skin Scan to ensure the treatment is safe, effective and suited to their skin.
→ All new clients start with a Skin Scan.
PEELS ARE A WORKOUT FOR YOUR SKIN
A chemical peel provides a boost of new cells, resulting in healthy, radiant and energetic skin.
Why a Skin Scan is essential before a peeling
0. ANALYSE | THE SKIN SCAN
€45 | 15 Minutes
Peeling treatments are powerful. The Skin Scan allows us to understand how your skin will respond before we treat it.
During the Skin Scan, we assess:
Skin tolerance and sensitivity | Inflammation and barrier function | Hydration and oil balance | External stress factors and lifestyle
This allows us to:
Select the correct resurfacing strength | Decide if a peel is suitable at all | Determine whether preparatory treatments are needed
Result:
A peeling treatment that improves your skin, not one that overwhelms it. The Skin Scan takes 15 minutes and can be booked as a standalone analysis.
→ Start with the Skin Scan.
2. Reset | Resurfacing Treatment
€139 | 45 minutes
RESET is the default corrective peeling treatment within the Mr. Adam Method.
The resurfacing strength is selected based on your Skin Scan results, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.
Suitable for:
Acne-prone skin | Pigmentation | Dehydration | Fine lines | Rosacea, eczema or sensitivity (when appropriate) | Overall skin improvement
Result:
Calmer, clearer, more hydrated skin with a more even tone.
The Mr. Adam Method™
How RESET fits into the Mr. Adam Method
The Mr. Adam Method is a structured 5-step system designed to improve skin quality progressively — based on your skin condition and goals. Not every client goes through all steps. Each treatment is selected based on relevance and necessity.
We highlighted the relevant treatments that go well with the RESET Resurfacing treatment.
0. ANALYSE | The Skin Scan - Always the starting point for the RESET Resurfacing process.
1. REFRESH | Face Treatment - A maintenance or introductory treatment. Not part of the RESET resurfacing process.
2. RESET | Resurfacing Treatment - The corrective peeling treatment. Focuses on improving skin function, clarity and stability.
3. REPAIR | Microneedling Treatment - May follow RESET once the skin is stable. Used for scarring, texture and deeper correction.
4. REBUILD | Regenerative Cell Treatment - Introduced only when skin concerns are under control. Focuses on long-term skin quality and slow-ageing.
5. RETREAT | High Performance Experience - A standalone experience for skin and mental reset. Not part of the RESET resurfacing process.
RESET is never a standalone decision — it is selected based on the Skin Scan and positioned within the method where it is most effective for your skin.
Downtime, safety and skin tolerance
Most clients experience minimal downtime after RESET.
Possible short-term reactions include:
- Mild redness

Treatment intensity is always adjusted to your skin’s tolerance and condition.
