Face Peels

Peels

The Synergie Professional Peel treatments are designed to reduce the appearance of irregularities on the skin’s surface and reveal a smooth, revitalised texture through regenerating and resurfacing the skin. They remove the top layers of the skin, help to stimulate collagen remodelling, reduce tonal discoloration, improve skin texture and hydration, reduce congestion and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

What are Skin Peels?

Basically peels are a deep chemical exfoliation which removes old dead skin cells to reveal new fresh skin.  It also stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells which in the long run improves skin health.

What are the benefits of chemical peels?

Different chemical peels have different benefits, as we all have different skin types and conditions. Your dermal therapist will choose a peel that best suits your skin condition and what you are looking to achieve. Different peels come with different benefits and different strengths; the good thing is peels have little to no down time. The treatment can cause some minor flaking in the few days following your treatment due to cell turnover.

We recommend using a prescribed pre-treatment cosmetic kit two weeks prior to your peel to enhance your treatment results.

How the treatment feels: 

The treatment feels like a strong prickle on the skin. This only lasts up to 10 minutes.

Most common Peels and their benefits: 

Salicylic Acid: Oily acne prone skin- Unclogs pores, neutralises bacteria, anti-inflammatory, great for acne

Glycolic Acid: Normal and Oily skin types- Exfoliates the top layer of the skin, promotes collagen production, aids in decreasing pigmentation and decreases inflammation, great for acne

Lactic Acid: All skin types- Good for skin brightening and fading of dark spots and pigmentation.

Mandelic Acid: good for all skin types, reduces pore size and is antibacterial

Acne Peels

Acne peels are a combination of various skin purifying acidic chemicals, designed to smooth out your skin and reduce and treat acne. They reduce excess oil and sebum production in acne, and help in reducing mild acne scars. Acne peels are usually a combination of salicylic and glycolic acids.

Various strengths and types of chemical peels are available, and an in-depth skin consultation is necessary to ensure the appropriate peel treatment is selected for the client’s specific skin concerns. A course of 3-6 peel treatments are recommended for optimal results, depending on the client’s skin requirements. Allow 1-2 weeks of downtime after each peel treatment as the client’s skin will shed as it renews.

1. ENZYME HYDROPEEL

The Synergie Enzyme Hydropeel is the ideal chemical peel for all skin types wanting to freshen up a dull complexion.

A blend of papaya enzyme and 15% lactic acid will stimulate cellular renewal and leave the skin looking soft, plump and hydrated and with a radiant and dewy glow. It is best to commence your Synergie chemical peel journey with a minimum of one of these highlyactive yet gentle exfoliation treatments.

2. PURIFYING SALICYLIC PEEL

With a chemical composition very closely related to aspirin, this BHA salicylic peel results in deep pore purification, exfoliation and potent anti-inflammatory actions.

These qualities make the Synergie Salicylic peel treatment ideal for acneic and congested skin types as well as rosacea sufferers when used at lower concentrations.  Treatments are to commence at a low level to ascertain tolerance and the percentage of salicylic acid is slowly increased in subsequent peel treatments.

3. TETRA ACID-50 PEEL

MANDELIC-LACTIC-KOJIC-MALIC

A powerful resurfacing treatment with a potent 50% combination of mandelic, lactic, kojic and malic acid, the signature Synergie Tetra Acid-50 peel.  This peel will inhibit pigment production on a cellular level to brighten and even skin tone, while deeply exfoliating the outer layers to refine surface texture, reduce visible pores, fine lines and wrinkles. As Mandelic acid is also an antibacterial and oil soluble, it is fantastic for clearing out congested, oily and acnes prone skin and will tackle breakouts while mattifying excessive T-zone shine.

4. LACTIC PEEL

The lactic and hydrating peel is a highly active yet gentle chemical exfoliation treatment.

This peel amplifies the skin’s natural moisture properties, inhibits tyrosinase production and stimulates basal cell mitosis to help achieve firmer, hydrated, evenly tones and glowing skin.
