Chemical peels utilise chemical solutions that are applied to the skin to cause controlled exfoliation and remove damaged, outer layers. The new, regenerated skin has improved appearance and texture.
Here at Pure Medispa we offer two types of Cosmeceutical Peel:
- Lactic/ Malic Acid Peels: An AHA peel that increases cell renewal by resurfacing, increasing hydration of the skin, making it an excellent choice for lipid-dry skin that is prone to pigmentation
- Pumpkin Peels: An alternative to acid peels, they utilise pumpkin ferment as their active ingredient. Available in 60% and 100% strengths, making the former suitable for pregnant women.

The procedure: What does it involve?
Skin is thoroughly cleansed. The peel is applied for the appropriate amount of time depending on skin type. The professional products used here at Pure Medispa provide effective exfoliation and increased cell turnover in a gentle, less aggressive manner than most peels available today. This means there is mild redness, stinging, flaking and irritation associated with peel treatments.
All peels can be enhanced with Retinoic Acid (Vitamin A) or TCA 10% if stronger peeling is required.
How many treatments do I need?
Depending on your skin type, treatment plans are tailored to suit your needs and your desired results. Typically, one treatment per week of 6 treatments is required for optimal results.
