Chemical Resurfacing Treatments

SUBSCRIBE TO CULTSKIN® Lab

CULTSKIN® Lab is a 12 month subscription service which entitles the patient to one advanced skin treatment every month for a year!

The perfect marriage between cosmeceutical products and medical prescriptions. We offer the “no-peel peel”, via either INNOAESTHETICS and phFormula.

INNOAESTHETICS provides professionals and patients alike with medical aesthetic and dermatological solutions to treat any kind of skin alteration and maintain skin health and beauty. INNOAESTHETICS has an incredibly extensive range of home-care product availability, ingredients list and in-clinic treatments, meaning that we can offer a bespoke and wider range of offering – including alopecia and slimming!

Both INNOAESTHETICS & pHformula were formulated by 4th Generation Pharmacist, Fernando Bouffard Fita, PhD, to this day are made in the same lab in Barcelona, share training centres and you can even spot the formation of pHformula in their parent brand’s Brand History! In fact, it was in 2010, that the INNOAESTHETICS laboratory developed a new project, now known as phFormula, incorporating the concept of “chemical skin resurfacing” and other key products.

INNOAESTHETICS consists of 5 main pillars:

  • INNO DERMA® – Skincare Essentials for professional use & prescriptive home-care alike
  • INNO EPIGEN® – Premium Skincare based on epiginetics, acting on the biological mechanisms of the skin, minimising expression of genetic structure.
  • INNO EXFO® – Chemical Resurfacing & Peel Range, combining a variety of acids to effectively address aesthetic concerns and specific skin pathologies.
  • INNO TDS® – Transdermal Solutions to be injected and/or micro-needled into the skin!
  • MELINE® – Specialised treatments for every different kind of skin pigmentation, whether melanic or melano-hematic, based on phototype, pigmentation type and part of the body.

We also offer a wide variety of pHformula treatments, based on the technology of regenerative medicine with the concept of creating controlled chemical skin resurfacing. The action of controlled chemical skin resurfacing is totally different from conventional peels. Peels mainly cause skin exfoliation, stripping the outer layers of skin, whereas controlled resurfacing actively provokes an accelerated form of cell regeneration in the different layers of the skin, whilst trauma and superficial irritation are reduced on the outer layer of the skin.

As a pharma-cosmeceutical brand, both INNOAESTHETICS and pHformula are not sold online or over the counter, products must be prescribed by one of our advanced CULTSKIN® Skin Specialists or CULTSKIN® Doctors via a consultation first. Each formulation, whether that be for professional use and then available to retail for home use, offer a unique combination of skin resurfacing actives at maximum strength, as both brands pride themselves on being the first pharma-cosmeceutical line to uniquely combine acids, vitamins, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and amino acids, with the enhanced feature of the PH-DVC™ bio-availability delivery complex (pHformula) and Smart GPS® Guidance Performance System (INNOAESTHETICS). 

The unique PH-DVC™ bio-availability delivery complex ensures even and controlled delivery of actives whilst allowing for maximum strength formulations without any negative side effects normally seen with conventional peelings. The efficacy of the individual acids used in controlled chemical skin resurfacing will depend on their nature, their penetration capacity as well as proton release potential during contact time with the skin. Once the actives are applied to the skin, they function as molecules with the ability to transport protons to different layers of the skin, resulting in acceleration of cell turnover and optimum skin regeneration.

All INNO-EXFO® chemical resurfacing treatments and peels include Smart GPS® (Guidance Performance System). An advanced technology that improves the penetration of the ingredients in the skin without damaging it. It also conveys and delivers them into a specific group of cells, enhancing their therapeutic effects. Besides, Smart GPS® allows the actives to remain stable and protects them from degradation.

We have the ability to mix and match between cleansers, formulations, masks and vitamins to tailor-make your skin resurfacing treatment ideal for you and your skin concerns at the time. However, the main treatments available to book at one of our CULTSKIN® clinics are as follows:

Chemical Skin Resurfacing Treatments FAQs

As superficial layers of the skin are somewhat uneffected, with the penetration of the treatments being controlled with the patented PH-DVC™ or Smart GPS®, downtime is minimal. However, optimising results is what we always aim for, so following your CULTSKIN® Skin Specialists advice with homecare and products is essential… including your SPF!

Depending upon how your skin reacted within treatment, what to expect thereafter will always be discussed and explained by your CULTSKIN® Skin Specialist. If ever unsure, or have a particular question in mind you forgot to ask, please do not hesitate to drop our Patient Care team an email, message or phone call and they’ll be happy to help.

These treatments do not focus on superficial irritation than that traditional peeling does. Flaking or peeling is not the end result, but can occur for some patients. If flaking is experienced, the contributing reason is the sloughing off of excessive dead skin cells due to the internal regenerating effect of the chemical resurfacing. We advise to keep hydrated, reapply your prescribed Moisturiser/Home Care solution as often as needed and ensure you’re using SPF daily within your homecare routine.

Maintaining healthly skin is essential during and post pregnancy. In fact, during pregnancy, 90% of women experience a worsening of pre-existing skin conditions or the appearance of new dermatoses. 

It is recommended that the use of retinols is avoided during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. The skin absorbs very little salicylic acid from products below a 2% concentration, anything higher however, can pose a greater risk. Here at CULTSKIN® we take this into account when prescribing products and recommending treatments, so these two ingredients will be avoided altogether. We have a variety of adapted treatments and a list of INNOAESTHETIC & pHformula products that are completely safe for use by those pregnant or lactating! Please let the Patient Care team and your CULTSKIN® Skin Specialist know when booking in or arriving for your appointment so we can take all precautions necessary.

With the skincare industry evolving, new and exciting ingredients and technologies are becoming available regularly. Similarly, at CULTSKIN®, we constantly innovate and evolve, this too will result in regular updates to branded guidelines and protocols to ensure we comply with regulations.

Both INNOAESTHETICS and/or pHformula’s formulations does not focus on superficial irritation (the outer layers of the skin) that traditional peeling does. Rest assured, they definitely are still working, with the improvement being from inside the cells towards the outer layers of the skin, meaning that regenerative support is continuously taking effect. Flaking or peeling is not the end result. If either are experienced, the contributing reason is the sloughing off of excessive dead skin cells.
