Following a PCA Peel the skin is visibly smoother, brighter and more evenly toned.

 Bright & Even Peel 

The Bright & Even Peel is a versatile and gentle peeling solution designed for all skin types, including aging, discolored, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. It’s the only peel formulated with Mandelic Acid, a mild yet powerful chemical exfoliator that effectively resurfaces the skin without causing irritation.

This professional peel works to brighten, smooth, and refine the skin's appearance, improving texture, tone, and overall radiance. The Bright & Even Peel is suitable for sensitive skin and has been clinically proven to reduce uneven skin tone across all Fitzpatrick skin types, making it a safe and effective option for everyone.

Experience a refreshed, glowing complexion with visibly enhanced brightness and smoother texture after just one treatment.

We recommend scheduling this treatment either in the morning or evening, as the peel solution remains active on the skin for up to 10 hours. If performed in the evening, SPF is not applied post-treatment, and you should avoid cleansing the skin until the next morning to maximize the peel’s efficacy.

Sensi Peel

The Sensi Peel® combines the resurfacing power of Lactic Acid and Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Lactic acid gently exfoliates by breaking down the bond between dead and living skin cells, promoting cell turnover and leaving the skin refreshed. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this phase.

The TCA component penetrates to a medium depth, improving surface texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It also enhances the skin's ability to absorb skincare products for better results. After the treatment, you may experience an epidermal shedding process, typically beginning around day 3 post-peel, which can last for 1-2 weeks.

We recommend scheduling this treatment either in the morning or evening, as the peel solution remains active on the skin for up to 10 hours. If performed in the evening, SPF is not applied post-treatment, and you should avoid cleansing the skin until the next morning to maximize the peel’s efficacy.

The AlphaRet Peel is available in two strengths, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your skin's unique needs.

Pure Retinol Peel with Ultra Peel® Combination Treatment

The Ultra Peel® is expertly formulated to address pigmentation concerns while promoting a more even skin tone and clear complexion. Suitable for all skin types, conditions, and sensitivities, this treatment effectively targets discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.

Utilising a combination of Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) for superficial to medium-depth peeling,  Lactic Acid, and Alpha Lipoic Acid, this peel works in harmony to deliver remarkable results:

  • TCA: Promotes exfoliation by breaking down keratin, helping to lighten hyperpigmentation and remove dead skin cells. This process leads to a gradual peeling effect over several days, resulting in brighter, clearer skin. TCA also acts as a carrier, enhancing the penetration of lactic acid for optimal results.
  • Lactic Acid: A gentle, water-soluble exfoliant that works on the skin's surface to remove dead cells by breaking the keratin bonds. This provides a tingling sensation during the treatment and helps inhibit tyrosinase, a key enzyme responsible for pigmentation, leading to a more even complexion.
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid: A potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, naturally produced in the body, that protects the skin from environmental damage and enhances collagen production. It penetrates deeply into the skin, further stimulating natural hyaluronic acid production, keeping the skin hydrated and firm.

The Pure Retinol Peel, when combined with Ultra Peel®, offers rapid rejuvenation and is an effective solution for treating a variety of skin concerns, including acne, aging, pigmentation, and the effects of smoking. This powerful treatment is suitable only for patients with a strong skin barrier to ensure optimal results and minimise irritation.

Key Features:

  • Retinol: This concentration of retinoic acid, providing a potent exfoliation that promotes a clearer complexion. Retinol enhances cellular turnover, helping to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
  • Vitamin E: Known for its antioxidant properties, Vitamin E is a powerful emollient that nourishes and hydrates the skin. It aids in soothing irritation and enhances wound healing, making it an excellent complement to the retinol and Ultra Peel treatments.

This powerful treatment is perfect for reducing hyperpigmentation, improving skin texture, and stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, leaving your complexion brighter and more youthful.

We recommend scheduling this treatment either in the morning or evening, as the peel solution remains active on the skin for up to 10 hours. If performed in the evening, SPF is not applied post-treatment, and you should avoid cleansing the skin until the next morning to maximise the peel’s efficacy.

Radiance Booster Facial 

Peel, Plane & Glow

Indulge in the ultimate facial experience with our Peel, Plane, and Glow treatment. This multi-step facial is designed to exfoliate, renew, and deeply hydrate your skin, leaving it radiant, smooth, and revitalised.

  1. Dermaplaning: We start with a gentle yet effective mechanical exfoliation process that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. This reveals a fresh, smooth complexion while also allowing for deeper absorption of subsequent treatments.
  2. Medical-Grade Chemical Peel: Following dermaplaning, we apply a carefully selected chemical peel tailored to your skin type. This peel accelerates the skin’s natural cell turnover, dissolves dead skin cells, and helps improve skin texture, minimise pore size, even out skin tone, and boost hydration.
  3. Mesotherapy Infusion with Hyaluronic Acid: To finish, we apply a nourishing layer of hyaluronic acid via mesotherapy. This final step deeply hydrates the skin, visibly plumping and smoothing fine lines while imparting a healthy, dewy glow.

The Peel, Plane, and Glow facial is perfect for those seeking to brighten dull skin, improve texture, and restore a youthful radiance in just one session.
