DermaQuest Resurfacing Facials

Resurfacing, supercharged exfoliating treatments with virtually no downtime to address several concerns through the use of enzymes and acids, working to effortlessly refine and exfoliate the texture of your skin.

With six different DermaQuest resurfacing facials in the Sweet Collection to choose from, you are spoilt for choice!

The basis of all the DermaQuest facials is the the Glycolic Resurfacer. Glycolic Acid is an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which derives from Sugarcane and works as an exfoliate on the skins surface to help retexurise. This hydrates the skin and stimulates cell turnover, increases collagen and elastin, while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, photo damage and releases comedones. The solution used in all of our DermaQuest Facials contains 30% Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Lilac Plant Stem Cell and Green Leaf Tea Extract.

DermaQuest Peels

It is possible to just have a single peel, but we recommend a course of 6 to really see the long-term skin benefits. It's a little like going to the gym; you can go occasionally but the real results will come when you commit to an ongoing programme.

What's the downtime?

By definition, the application of acids to the skin may cause redness, skin flaking and mild peeling; but every skin is different. We recommend not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours post-peel to ensure the skin remains bacteria-free. You will be recommended a comprehensive aftercare routine to continue with at home to ensure your skin recovers and rejuvenates correctly. As a general rule, expect flaking from around the 3rd day post-peel for a maximum of 5 further days. You should avoid direct sun exposure during these recovery days and always wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

What results can I expect?

24 hours post-peel your skin will likely feel a little tight and appear slightly flushed. Within 3 days your skin will start to flake but within the week you will start to see clearer, more uniform skin tone. Over a course of 6 peels, results will be even more visibly profound.
