CHEMICAL PEELS | NeoStrata Glycolic Peels with HA (Hyaluronic Acid)
Neostrata Glycolic Peels are light peels containing AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acids. AHA’s work by penetrating though the skins surface and dissolving the fatty bonds that hold dead skin cells together, we then neutralise the peel and your skin will be refreshed. There is minimal recovery time and they can even be done during your lunch hour!
Glycolic peels:
- Are safe and require little recovery time
- Improve acne prone skin
- Help reverse sun damage
- Very good in reduction of small wrinkles and acne scars
NeoStrata Glycolic Peels:
- Improve the overall tone and texture of your skin
- Lighten and brighten your skin
- Remove or reduce hyper pigmentation, melasma, sun damage and age spots
- Reduce the appearance of pore size
- Soften fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduce or eliminate acne and acne scars
- Stimulate the production of collagen resulting in firmer skin
Initially after your peel your skin may be red, you may experience some of the following:
- Stinging
- Itching
- Slight discomfort
- Dryness
- Tightness
- Sun sensitivity
- Peeling of the outer superficial layer after 2-3 days after the procedure, though very minimal
- Avoid hot showers and saunas
- Avoid using any products with active ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid etc.
- You should not have any further facial treatments for two weeks
- Wash treated areas very gently
- If your skin is sensitive avoid, make up
- Avoid sun exposure for at least a month after the procedure
- Do Not- peel, pick, scratch or scrape the skin
- DO not use a face mask
- Moisturise well after the following day after treatment
We also strongly advise all clients to use a strong sun screen as glycolic acid can make your skin photo sensitive, which means that you have a strong chance of sun burn.
Although most patients have no side effects, the following are a risk:
- An acne flares up can be possible due to deep pore cleansing
- Herpes (cold sore) break out can occur- though this can be avoided if you advise us that you are prone to cold sores.
- Acne like inflammation around the mouth (perioral Dermatitis)
Recommended a course of 3 to 6 treatments at 3 weeks’ interval (depends on skin condition).

CHEMICAL PEELS | Mandelic Peel with HA (Hyaluronic Acid)
Mandelic Peel – gently exfoliating AHA acid, derived from the hydrolysis of bitter almond extract. It is therefore ideally suited for the care of delicate and sensitive skin.
The molecular structure of mandelic acid is larger than better known Alpha Hydroxy Acid such as glycolic acid and lactic acid. This means it takes longer to penetrate the skin’s surface and is much less irritating.
- Rapidly exfoliates dead skin cells and surface debris from the skin.
- Mandelic Peel has antimicrobial/antibacterial properties, making it an excellent choice for all types of acne
- Excellent treatment for oily and combination skin (regulates the oil production in sebaceous glands)
- Loosens blackheads for easy extraction.
- Cleans and refines pores.
- Refines the tone and texture of the skin, brightens.
- It is excellent for clients with darker skin tones. It does not cause the unwanted, lighter skin tone changes that you might experience with other AHA’s.
- Inhibits the growth of melanin, the cause of brown patches, freckles, uneven skin tone and other sun-related skin care issues.
- Reduces lines and wrinkles without the irritation of other AHA’s.
- It is typically an excellent exfoliator for clients suffering from Rosacea.
Upon application, within the first minute-or-so, you will feel very little topical sensation… it will be a warm tingling sensation. This acid penetrates more slowly than others, due to its larger molecular size.
Post peel you’ll see some light flaking, perhaps more apparent around the mouth and nasal areas.
