Synergie Medi Peel

Synergie Medi Peel can be formulated with many different resurfacing ingredients, but broadly speaking they are designed to revitalise texture by causing the skin to shed cells, promoting firmness and fewer fine lines. This shedding reveals fresh, bright skin and indirectly stimulates collagen production in the dermis. Chemical peels are a great option for those wanting to improve skin texture and fine lines, address acne and congested pores, and reduce sun damage and pigmentation. Peels are not one-off treatments and usually require a commitment to a series of at least 3 fortnightly treatments for the best skin results. Regular clinical peels will clear stubborn and problematic skin, and leave your complexion refined, firm, smooth, and bright. Stick with it, the results are phenomenal.

What are the best ingredients for peels?

Enzyme peels offer many benefits for the skin and are often an entry level peel for someone new to chemical peeling treatments. Enzymes are naturally derived from fruits and plant resources. The best plant-based proteolytic enzymes are papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple. In terms of AHAs, Synergie Skin offer professional peel treatments that are formulated with lactic, malic and mandelic acids over glycolic acid. This is because lactic, malic and mandelic acids have larger molecules than glycolic acid and are therefore less likely to penetrate the epidermis and cause skin irritation. In addition, these AHA peel agents offer an array of skin benefits, such as lactic acid, as it is a natural skin hydrator and is less likely to cause surface dryness. Salicylic acid, a BHA, is a great peel agent due to its ability to penetrate the pore and reduce inflammation, making it ideal for treating acne. Even sensitive skin will benefit from a low-level salicylic acid peel (5% or less). Kojic acid is known best for its pigment fighting properties and lightening effects, it is used to treat skin conditions such as sun damage, scars and age spots. Resorcinol, which is featured exclusively in our Synergie Modified Jessner Peel, is a powerful peel agent that provides overall skin brightening and textural improvement to the skin.

Superficial peels

Peels can be superficial, meaning they only resurface the epidermal layers of the skin to remove surface dead skin cells. They use ingredients such as lactic, glycolic, mandelic and malic acids (AHAs), salicylic acid (BHA), and kojic acid. Superficial peels are ideal for addressing mild acne breakouts and congestion, blocked pores, mild sun damage, and for rejuvenating superficial fine lines.  

Medium peels

Medium peels penetrate deeper than superficial peels, exfoliating beyond the epidermis and reaching the upper dermis. They use higher percentages of acids within their solution and utilise ingredients such as lactic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), kojic acid, and resorcinol, all commonly found in Modified Jessner Peel solutions. Medium peels are ideal for treating acne scars, rejuvenating fine lines and wrinkles, and correcting stubborn uneven skin tone such as hyperpigmentation.
