Consultation procedure

Prior to the treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability.
We will discuss your lifestyle habits and homecare skin protocol.
Your Skin Practitioner will assess your severity of your acne and any scarring, and recommend the most suitable protocol to you.

What steps are involved in the treatment?

The face is first cleansed with an salicylic acid wash to remove any makeup or debris from the skin.
A peel prep is then used to prepare the skin for the peel.
The peel is applied all over the face & the skin is kept cool with a fan.
A second layer of the peel is applied and then a third if required.
The skin is dried with a fan and then soaked in ice cold water.
After 15 minutes the peel is removed.
Microdermabrasion is performed to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
A high strength Vitamin C and oil free moisture is applied to the skin.

How long does the treatment take?

A typical treatment session is approximately 30-45 minutes.

How does the treatment feel?

Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but no anaesthesia is required.
You might feel mild sting while the peel is activated.
All of our patients tolerate the treatment very well and some find the treatment relaxing.

How many treatments are required?

For optimal results, a series of Agera Rx acne peels need to be combined with Medical Microdermabrasion to help remove blackheads and diminish existing acne scars.
A series of peels increasing in strength over a 2-4 month programme is recommended. We recommend a minimum of 6 treatments spaced out every 2 weeks.
This programmed will sterilise, brighten & reduce active blemishes.
Tailored home care products recommended by the therapist should be used to enhance the clinic treatments.

Are there any possible side effects?

This is a relatively safe peel to use with minimal irritation and side effects. The Agera Peels are non-glycolic and do not cause the upper layers of the skin to shed.
There may be possible irritation and reddening of the skin.
You will need to apply Sun Protection as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun.
You may experience some flaking and dryness of the skin as a reaction of increased stimulation to the epidermal cell layer.
