What Is Chemical Skin Resurfacing?

Chemical Skin Resurfacing involves the controlled application of medical-grade acids to exfoliate the skin and stimulate renewal. It is suitable for patients seeking improvement in pigmentation, uneven tone, mild acne scarring and dull complexion.

At CULTSKIN, peel selection is personalised based on your skin type, sensitivity and concern severity.

How Does It Work?

The chemical solution exfoliates the outer layer of the skin, encouraging shedding of damaged cells and stimulating regeneration. Over a course of treatments, skin tone and clarity may improve progressively.

As superficial layers of the skin are somewhat uneffected, with the penetration of the treatments being controlled with the patented 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.

INNOAESTHETICS’ 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.
