Dermal Peels – Awaken Clinic
Dermal peels can be extremely effective to counteract the signs of ageing. At awaken Clinic we offer the BioRePeel and a retinol peel for healthier looking skin. If you are someone who is beginning to notice the first or more significant signs of skin ageing, or have chronic skin concerns such as acne, a course of dermal peels could be the gentle way to revitalise and restore your skin, leaving it clear, exfoliated and with a healthy, glassy glow.
The BioRePeel is a medical only, two-step peel which offers a bio-stimulating, revitalising and gentle peeling action. This peel is perfect for those who do not wish to undergo severe cosmetic downtime or dramatic skin peeling, following a treatment. The retinol peel offers an exfoliating action carried out within the skin itself. This is because through a chain of events, retinol regulates gene expression, which leads to a boost in collagen and a flood of fresh new skin cells which rise to the skin’s surface and push out old ones. Both peels are superb for anti-aging, reducing pigmentation and sun spots, as well as assisting with chronic skin conditions such as acne.

FAQs
Which skin conditions can be treated with dermal peels?
A course of dermal peel treatments can improve the appearance of several skin concerns. These can include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dry, dehydrated skin
- Pigmentation from sun exposure or melasma
- Acne
- Large pores
- Congested, spot prone skin
- Blackheads
- Uneven skin tone and texture
We will assess your skin in an initial consultation and suit the chosen peel to your specific skin concerns.
With these dermal peels, it is not as necessary to prep your skin beforehand. Although better results can be achieved if you follow a consistent skin care routine and already use AHA’s or Retinol. However, if you are using Retinol or AHA’s, you will need to stop using them seven days before and after your peel to avoid potential irritation of the skin. We would also advise that you abstain from using fake tan products or any exfoliating cleansers, prior to your peel.
After your peel is completed, we will offer you relevant aftercare advice. This could include avoiding hot saunas, steam or swimming in chlorinated water for up to a week, avoiding perfumes, fake tan or harsh chemicals for 72 hours after the treatment. We can offer special mineral makeup if you wish to apply it after your treatment. It is advisable however, to avoid any other type of makeup for 24 hours, following your peel to avoid infection. Picking, rubbing or manually exfoliating the skin is not advised. We will advise you to wear a high-factor SPF immediately and in the days that follow your dermal peel.
As the dermal peels we use here at Awaken Clinic are quite gentle, side-effects are usually minimal. However, these can include slight redness, swelling, tenderness and a tight sensation to the skin. These sensations are quite normal and will subside in a few hours.
This all depends on your individual skin requirements, the overall quality of your skin and your general health, lifestyle choices and expectations. However, a course of several treatments is usually required for optimal results. We will advise you on the estimated number of treatments we think you would benefit from in your initial consultation.

“Dr Stephanie removed 2 skin tags one on my back that was done in a couple of session but a more testing one on my head which took months and throughout the whole process she was brilliant and very personable! I couldn't recommend her more!”
