The Dermaceutic Cosmo Chemical Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel treatment that penetrates deeper than many other peels, giving visible results after just one treatment session.

The benefits of Dermaceutic Cosmo Chemical Peels can boost the beauty of skin affected by ageing, fixing wrinkles and sagging skin, acne scars and other skin concerns.

Our clients love the Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel’s amazing effects on skin tone and its ability to improve texture and clarity.

Read on to learn more about this state-of-the-art treatment and what it could do for your skin.

What is a Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel?

The Cosmo Peel is a skin treatment that contains active ingredients, including 10% phenol, 10% glycolic acid, and 20% TCA.

This potent cocktail exfoliates the skin, sloughing off layers of dead cells to reveal undamaged new skin.

The peel also stimulates collagen and elastin production. These skin saviours plump up and firm the skin, smoothing away uneven texture.

What happens during the Cosmo Peel?

Firstly, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove all makeup, environmental debris, sebum, and dead skin cells.

The peel is then carefully applied to the skin in a controlled penetration process. Thin layers of peel are gradually built up to the level required to give optimal results for your skin condition.

For profound damage and scarring, your specialist will reapply additional layers.

After the peel has done its work, a calming and balancing cream is applied to soothe the skin.

Preparing your skin for your Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel treatment

Optimal results are achieved when the skin is well-prepared for the treatment.

When you book your treatment, you will receive a Dermaceutic 21-Day Prep Kit containing a cleanser, Vitamin C, retinol, and hydrating SPF.

It is vital to use the kit as prescribed to ensure you receive the full benefits of the treatment and minimise the reaction to the glycolic acid and other active ingredients.

The anti-ageing benefits of the Cosmo Chemical peel

The Cosmo peel is so effective that a single treatment can give stunning anti-ageing benefits.

Young skin has high levels of collagen, which diminish as we age. The skin loses its elasticity and firmness, developing wrinkles and lines. Accumulated sun exposure can affect the skin’s texture and cause unwanted pigmentation.

The Cosmo Peel boosts collagen and elastin production, improving the skin tone and restoring a youthful glow.

This chemical peel will make a significant improvement in the appearance of,

wrinkles and fine lines
sagging skin
dark spots
sun damage and solar lentigines

Acne scars

The peel’s exfoliating effect removes the superficial layers of skin, and the plumping effect of increased collagen levels smooths the texture of skin affected by acne scars.

Other skin concerns that benefit from this treatment

This potent chemical peel can reduce the appearance of superficial pigmented lesions or lesions that give an uneven skin texture, including:

actinic keratosis
hyperpigmentation
keratosis pilaris

How many treatments will I need?

The Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel is designed as a single procedure for treating acne scars and rejuvenating ageing skin. Occasionally, more than one treatment is required to achieve the desired results.

You will have an in-depth consultation with one of our skin specialists to discuss your treatment and decide if you need more than one session.

Some patients have maintenance treatments at intervals to preserve the beauty benefits in the long term.

Will I need any downtime after my Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel?

This peel is more penetrating than a superficial peel. It is a highly effective treatment that uses active ingredients, and you should expect a skin reaction that will last for a few days.

The skin will be red and flakey, and there may be a stinging sensation. These side effects will soon subside, but your skin may feel tight for a few days, and peeling may continue for up to a week.

Am I a good candidate for a chemical peel treatment?

The Cosmo Peel is designed to benefit paler skin, specifically skin types 1 to 3 on the Fitzpatrick Scale.

Medium-depth peels may not be suitable for patients who are pregnant, have actively inflamed skin, have a history of keloid scarring, or have an immune disorder.

Before your peel, you will consult with one of our skin specialists to ensure that the Dermaceutic Cosmo Peel is right for you.
