Dermaceutic Peel

What it is

Professional chemical peels using the Dermaceutic range

Dermaceutic is a French medical-grade skincare and professional peel brand available at Regenesis. The Dermaceutic peel range includes a number of professional chemical peel formulations, each targeting different skin concerns and suited to different skin types and downtime tolerances.

Chemical peels work by applying a controlled acid solution to the skin's surface, which supports the natural exfoliation process at varying depths depending on the formulation used. The skin responds by renewing its surface layers, which may over time support improvements in texture, tone and overall skin quality. The depth of the peel — and therefore the degree of skin response and recovery — varies by the specific Dermaceutic formulation selected.

All treatments are performed by qualified practitioners at Regenesis. The appropriate peel formulation is determined at consultation based on your skin type, current condition and concerns. As with all peel treatments, individual responses vary and suitability is confirmed before any treatment begins.

Peel options

Dermaceutic formulations at Regenesis

Regenesis stocks a range of Dermaceutic professional peel formulations. The most appropriate option for your skin is determined at consultation based on your skin type, concerns and downtime tolerance. Your practitioner will discuss which formulation is suitable for you.

What to expect

The treatment experience

Your first appointment begins with a skin assessment. Your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and select the most appropriate Dermaceutic peel formulation for your skin and downtime tolerance. The experience and recovery associated with each peel varies considerably by formulation — your practitioner will set clear expectations before proceeding.

During treatment, the peel solution is applied to cleansed skin and left for a prescribed period. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth or stinging sensation during application depending on the formulation used. The solution is then neutralised and removed, and appropriate aftercare products are applied.

Following treatment, the skin response varies by peel type — ranging from mild redness and dryness with gentler formulations to more pronounced surface renewal and peeling with deeper options. Your practitioner will advise on what to expect based on the formulation used at your appointment.

Sessions + Downtime

Treatment plan and recovery

Dermaceutic peels are typically recommended as a course of sessions — commonly 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart depending on the formulation and your skin's response. They may also be used as periodic maintenance treatments or as preparatory steps prior to other clinical procedures.

Downtime varies considerably by peel formulation. Gentler options such as the Milk Peel are associated with generally minimal downtime for most clients. Deeper formulations such as Peel Mission involve a more pronounced recovery with visible peeling over several days. Your practitioner will discuss expected downtime based on the specific formulation recommended at your consultation.

Sun protection is particularly important following peel treatments. Freshly peeled skin is more sensitive to UV exposure and daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is essential throughout and following your treatment course.

As with all peel treatments, risks are associated with Dermaceutic peels. Your practitioner will discuss all relevant risks and aftercare requirements at your consultation before proceeding.
