Skin Peels Using The Award Winning Dermaquest Product Range
Dermaquest skin peels can treat a range of common skin issues from acne and oily skin to premature ageing and dryness.

The chosen skin care brand of many top medi-spas, the award-winning Dermaquest product range contains active ingredients that penetrate deep into the layers of the skin – rather than just sitting on its surface – to give fast, visible results.

Patients undergo an initial consultation before treatment. During the consultation your Dermaquest Skin Peel specialist will examine the areas of concern and explain the various treatments on offer, as well as gathering some medical history details. They will also answer any questions you may have regarding skin peels and run through the products you will need to use prior to treatment to prepare your skin.
Preparing the skin using specialist Dermaquest products one to two weeks before treatment is sometimes recommended. It gives the therapist the chance to assess for any adverse reactions – and to exfoliate the skin superficially to allow the peel to penetrate deeper. Your therapist will explain the preparation process, if needed, during the initial consultation.
Specialist Dermaquest products are used for all Dermaquest Skin Peel procedures.
Anaesthetic is not required.
Depending on the strength used, once the peel is applied to the skin you may experience a mild stinging and tingling effect. This sensation subsides as soon as the peel is neutralised.
Your Dermaquest Skin Peel therapist will advise on the correct and suitable aftercare products to use following treatment, especially for the initial two to three day period during which your skin may start to flake or peel; you should not pick or scratch your skin while it is flaking. After a peel it is advisable to use a high factor sunscreen, to help prevent any unwanted pigmentation marks that may occur during the course of treatments. As this is a chemical exfoliating process patients are advised not to use any home exfoliating products e.g. scrubs, abrasive sponges or masks. Note that patients who are prone to cold sores must use preventive medicine for up to five days before each peel, as this may help stop a flare up of the condition.
Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink, and in some cases a sunburnt sensation may be experienced for an hour or so, but this depends on the peel. After a few weeks the skin looks brighter, clearer and dry skin becomes hydrated and smooth.
Best results are generally achieved from a course of six sessions. However, for more severe pigmentation damage or acne scarred skin, further treatments may be required. Intense Pulsed Light treatments may also be combined with Dermaquest Skin Peels to further improve the appearance, quality and texture of the skin. Your therapist will make recommendations after assessing your skin during your initial consultation.
