Dermapure Signature Peel Riverbend

Powered by Functionalab

A glycolic acid peel is a professional-grade chemical peel that uses glycolic acid to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin and accelerate cell turnover. Also known as the Dermapure Signature Peel, this treatment helps reveal a smoother, more even skin texture and supports long-term skin clarity.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Cleanse the Skin

Removing surface impurities and all traces of makeup are the first steps in a glycolic acid peel treatment. It’s important to start off with a clean canvas—the treatment area is wiped down with a gauze pad pre-soaked in alcohol to remove any oily film from the surface.

Step 2

Protection

Before starting, your technician will apply a protective balm to sensitive areas and provide you with eye protection.

Step 3

Apply the Glycolic Acid Peel Solution

The technician will use a brush to carefully apply the liquid glycolic acid solution over the entire surface of the treated area. The first peel is always applied at a lower 20% concentration. This concentration may be increased to 30% in follow-up sessions, if recommended by the technician. You may feel a slight tingling sensation on your skin as the glycolic acid’s exfoliating action takes effect. This is perfectly normal.

Step 4

Reaction Time

The glycolic acid solution is left on your skin for about five minutes to allow it to react. This may vary slightly depending on the degree of skin reaction and the concentration used. The technician will set a timer and will monitor your skin closely for any visible signs of reaction during the procedure.

Step 5

Neutralize the Glycolic Acid Solution

The exfoliating process can be stopped easily with cold water. The technician gently rinses the treatment area with a clear water compress to neutralize the product. The skin is instantly soothed.

Deep Skin Hydration

As a final touch, the skin is hydrated using a combination of high-performance anti-aging products. Now is the perfect time to discuss your at-home skincare routine with your technician, who can recommend adjustments tailored to your specific skin needs.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Dermapure Signature Peel is a skin maintenance treatment. For optimal results, a Dermapure Signature Peel should be scheduled every change of season. We also recommend 5 to 6 follow-up sessions, performed every two weeks to remove several layers of dead skin cells and improve skin tone and texture.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breast-feeding women should postpone treatment. Particular attention is necessary for individuals with very sensitive skin and naturally darker skin types V and VI.
