In 30 seconds
A scientific contribution · Three key points
01
Scientific perspective
Dr Alain Tenenbaum presented his approach to metabolic
peeling, focusing on cutaneous metabolism, cellular
stimulation and epidermal barrier integrity.
02
Practical demonstration
Selected Swiss-made formulations were demonstrated with
physician participants, including 30 min Peel Off on one
hemiface and Microabrasive Sand Cream on one hand.
03
Immediate observations
At 30–45 minutes, Dr Tenenbaum reports differences in
luminosity, skin texture and softness, assessed through
visual inspection and touch.
Observations from congress demonstrations and participant
feedback; these do not establish long-term outcomes or
comparative superiority.

Metabolic chemical peeling
01 · Scientific contribution
The faculty announcement lists Dr Alain Tenenbaum’s chemical peeling lecture for 23 October 2026. Its focus is a biological approach to peeling: cutaneous metabolism, cellular stimulation and epidermal barrier integrity.
Mechanisms
Examining the biological rationale behind metabolic peeling and its relationship to conventional peel classifications.
Clinical interpretation
Considering epidermal integrity and barrier recovery as topics for scientific discussion.
Professional exchange
Sharing a clinical perspective within an international congress dedicated to dermatology, aesthetics and surgery.
These are the announced themes of the contribution. This editorial does not report comparative trial results or establish superiority of a technique.
Demonstrating immediate effects of Swiss-made peels
02 · Immediate observations · Kochi · 23 October 2026
At the Merz booth during DASIL 2026 in Kochi, Dr Alain Tenenbaum demonstrated selected Swiss-made formulations used in metabolic peeling protocols. He reports immediate visible and tactile changes in luminosity, skin texture and softness, assessed at 30–45 minutes. The two examples below document treatment of one hemiface and one hand, with the corresponding area for direct observation.
Peelings made in Switzerland
Designed for a broad range of skin types. Dr Tenenbaum explained in his scientific presentation that the majority of metabolic peels are designed for all skin types. The documentation on chemicalpeeling.com presents 30 Min Peel Off for all skin types and Microabrasive Sand Cream for all phototypes. Product selection and application remain adapted to individual skin condition and professional assessment.
01 · 30 min Peel Off
Left hemiface
View during the demonstration · film visible.
Only the participant’s left hemiface was treated with 30 min Peel Off, according to Dr Tenenbaum. The other side was left untreated for direct observation.
02 · Microabrasive Sand Cream
Right hand
Right hand treated · left hand untreated, as reported by Dr Tenenbaum.
Only the participant’s right hand was treated with Microabrasive Sand Cream, according to Dr Tenenbaum. Both hands are shown together to document the areas discussed.
What the participants could assess
Dr Tenenbaum reports a marked difference on visual inspection, particularly in luminosity and skin texture, together with an appreciable difference in softness and smoothness to the touch. He reports that all physician participants in these demonstrations were highly satisfied with the immediate appearance and feel of their skin.
These are Dr Tenenbaum’s reported observations and participant feedback at 30–45 minutes, supported here by photographs from his personal collection. This congress demonstration documents immediate observations; it was not a controlled clinical study and does not establish long-term outcomes or comparative superiority. The photographs document different stages of the demonstration and are not presented as a standardised before-and-after series.

Scientific independence
04 · Editorial principles
Scientific education should encourage critical appraisal, transparent disclosure of relevant interests and a clear distinction between educational content and product promotion.
This page is devoted to Dr Alain Tenenbaum’s scientific participation. It is an IPSC editorial account, rather than an official report on the whole congress. Participation does not imply endorsement of a manufacturer, product or other speaker.
01What was the focus of Dr Tenenbaum’s presentation?
His presentation explored metabolic peeling through
cutaneous metabolism, cellular stimulation and epidermal
barrier integrity. It presented his scientific and clinical
perspective on the biological rationale of these protocols.
02Are metabolic peels designed for all skin types?
Dr Tenenbaum explained that the majority of metabolic peels
are designed for all skin types. The product documentation
cited in this article presents 30 Min Peel Off for all skin
types and Microabrasive Sand Cream for all phototypes.
This does not mean that every formulation or protocol is
appropriate for every individual. Product selection and
application require professional assessment of the skin
condition and the relevant product instructions.
At 30–45 minutes, Dr Tenenbaum reports differences in
luminosity, skin texture, softness and smoothness,
assessed through visual inspection and touch.
He also reports high satisfaction among the participating
physicians.
The documented demonstrations involved 30 min Peel Off
applied to the male participant’s left hemiface and
Microabrasive Sand Cream applied to the right hand,
with the corresponding areas left untreated for observation.
04How should these photographs and observations be interpreted?
The photographs document a congress demonstration and
different stages of application. They are not presented
as a standardised before-and-after series.
The immediate observations and participant feedback
reported here do not establish long-term outcomes,
suitability for every individual or comparative superiority.
The demonstration was not a controlled clinical study.
