1What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses carefully selected acids and active ingredients to remove the outer layers of the skin in a controlled manner, stimulating the skin's natural repair processes and revealing fresher, more youthful skin beneath. The depth of the peel — superficial, medium or deep — determines the degree of resurfacing and the recovery time required. RégimA Power Peels are primarily superficial to medium-depth, achieving significant results without the extended downtime associated with deeper peels.
2The Active Ingredients in Power Peels
RégimA Power Peels use a proprietary blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) including glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid, combined with beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid, and targeted actives specific to the skin concern being treated. Glycolic acid — the smallest AHA molecule — penetrates most deeply and delivers the most significant resurfacing effect. Lactic acid provides gentler exfoliation with additional hydrating properties. Mandelic acid is particularly effective for pigmentation and acne-prone skin.
3The Heal Component: Post-Peel Care
What distinguishes the RégimA Peel & Heal system from conventional peels is the equal emphasis placed on the post-peel recovery protocol. The Heal component uses RégimA's internationally recognised wound healing and scar repair technology to accelerate skin recovery, minimise post-peel inflammation and maximise the results of the peel. This comprehensive approach means that RégimA clients experience less downtime and better outcomes than with conventional peel protocols.
4What Power Peels Can Treat
RégimA Power Peels are effective for a wide range of skin concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation and melasma, acne and acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun damage and photoageing, dull and lacklustre skin, and mild to moderate scarring. A course of peels — typically six to eight treatments spaced two to four weeks apart — delivers cumulative results that significantly exceed what a single treatment can achieve.
5The Treatment Experience
A Power Peel session begins with a thorough skin assessment and cleanse. The peel solution is applied to the skin and left for a carefully timed period — the duration and number of layers applied are adjusted based on the individual's skin type, condition and tolerance. A mild tingling or warming sensation is normal. The peel is then neutralised and removed, followed by the application of the Heal protocol products. The entire treatment takes approximately 45–60 minutes.
6What to Expect After a Peel
Following a Power Peel, the skin will appear slightly pink and may feel tight for 24–48 hours. Mild flaking or peeling typically begins on day two to three and resolves within five to seven days. During this period, it is essential to follow the prescribed Heal protocol, avoid sun exposure, use a gentle cleanser and apply SPF diligently. Makeup can generally be worn from day two. Most clients find they can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
