Taneesa Williamson Mix, layer, and customise formulas to drive powerful results for your clients.
It’s a well-known fact that cell turnover slows dramatically as we age. The impact of this decline presents in the skin in a variety of ways. While some patients experience an increase in ageing symptoms such as fine lines and wrinkles, others may experience acne, hyperpigmentation – or a combination of them all.
Chemical peels are still considered one of the most effective ways to address these concerns, however, there’s no such thing as “one peel fits all”. In the past, this has led to clients not feeling satisfied with their results as not all their concerns have been addressed. Dermalogica’s Pro Power Peel is reshaping the peel market as it is designed to be customised, addressing individual patient needs with strong innovative formulas without creating unnecessary inflammation.
The peel system comprises of a prepping solution, three individual peel formulas and a neutralising solution. Pro Power Peel is completely unique in its formulation due to the ability for each peel formula to be applied as a single peel choice or for the various peels to be combined on a gauze or layered to target individual client concerns. Due to the peels potency and low pH, therapists need to fully understand how the formulas work and how to prepare their clients skins and look after them post-procedure.
Nicole Grantham, founder and owner of Bespoke Facial & Body Clinic, shares with us what led her to choose the Pro Peel range for her clinic’s offering, and what results it has provided in the process.
Share with us your background in the industry, and what led you to open your own clinic?
I have over 20 years experience in the beauty industry, specialising in advanced skin treatments, as well as leadership and educational roles. With a profound passion for skincare, I have dedicated my career to empowering others, fostering growth, and delivering exceptional skin treatments and services. Being a natural leader and seeing an opportunity within the market for a Luxe Facial Clinic, I knew it was time to run my own Skin Clinic.
What sparked you to introduce Dermalogica into the business?
Knowing that I wanted to offer premium skin and facial services, there was no question that Dermalogica would be the most desirable Professional Skincare option. The variety of Dermalogica’s professional and retail products positioned Bespoke Facial & Body Clinic as one of the leading Skin and Facial Clinic’s in Australia – being finalists in multiple Industry Awards.
How do you find the client feedback for the range since their latest release of the Pro Peels?
The release of the Pro Peels has given Dermalogica, and Bespoke Facial & Body Clinic, more recognition as a trusted Skin Clinic. Our clients believe in the Peels and understand the treatments will address all skin concerns and conditions.
The results we see using the Pro Peels has been phenomenal; with self-conscious acne prone skins now feeling confident in their skin. And mature skins now seeing a brighter and more youthful appearance – The way we can change our clients lives and wellbeing is why we are so passionate about what we do.
The Pro Peel breakdown:
The three peel formulas address the three main client concerns of ageing, pigmentation and breakouts.
PowerClear Peel
PowerClear Peel is a potent clearing peel formulated to target blemishes, prevent breakouts, reduce sebum production and visibly diminish post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Power clear peel is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, a lipophilic BHA able to disrupt desmosome cohesion while penetrating the sebaceous gland to help remove impaction plugs.10% Mandelic Acid (from Bitter Almonds) and 15% Malic Acid (from Apples) speed up cell turnover rate to help even skin tone. Dermalogica’s patented Terpineol-Thymol Complex helps suppress sebum production and works with skin’s natural microbiome to kill breakout-causing bacteria in minutes.
UltraBright Peel
The UltraBright Peel utilizes the power of lactic acid to brighten dull skin, hydrate and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
This innovative formula incorporates 30% Lactic Acid, to stimulate exfoliation by decreasing corneocyte cohesion. Lactic acid is a popular ingredient due to its humectant properties but also its size. As an acid with a larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin more slowly and is therefore less irritating to the skin. Phytic Acid aids in cell turnover, brightening the skin and providing antioxidant benefits and Mucor Fungal Extract mimics the effect of Cathepsin D (a proteolytic enzyme that plays an important role in maintaining a normal skin barrier), to deliver an efficient exfoliation.
AdvancedRenewal Peel
AdvancedRenewal Peel is a powerful peel formulated to resurface the skin to help fight the visible effects of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and evening skin tone.
30% Glycolic Acid decreases corneocyte cohesion and enhances skin desquamation, facilitating exfoliation and cell renewal, while Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract stimulates natural desquamation enzymes involved in the degradation of intercellular adhesion structures in the corneum enabling skin clarity and luminosity. Glycolic Acid’s small molecular size allows it to penetrate skin quickly and easily, so it’s important to monitor skin for erythema and irritation during application.
When used as singular peels or in combination, and as part of a treatment program, clinicians are able to target the three main skin concerns for their patients and achieve outstanding results and patient satisfaction.
