About this treatment

Pigmentation peels using the advanced Dermaquest range offer a clinically proven solution for addressing unwanted skin discolouration and uneven skin tone. These professional-grade chemical peels are specifically formulated to target hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and melasma, delivering visible improvements in skin clarity and radiance.

At Prema Health, our aesthetics specialists utilize the Dermaquest pigmentation peel system, which combines powerful yet safe ingredients to gently exfoliate the skin and inhibit excess melanin production. The treatment works by removing the outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating cellular renewal, revealing a brighter, more even complexion underneath.

Suitable for most skin types and tones, the Dermaquest pigmentation peel can be customized to your specific skin concerns and sensitivity levels. This professional treatment is an excellent option for those in Portsmouth, Havant, Gosport, and across Hampshire who are seeking to reduce the appearance of pigmentation without invasive procedures.

The 60-minute treatment includes a thorough skin consultation, professional application of the peel, and post-treatment care guidance to ensure optimal results and skin health. Our experienced team at Aesthetics will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate peel strength and treatment plan for your individual needs.

In More Detail

The Dermaquest pigmentation peel treatment begins with a comprehensive skin analysis to determine the most suitable peel formulation for your specific concerns. The peel solution contains a carefully balanced blend of active ingredients including kojic acid, arbutic acid, and lactic acid, which work synergistically to break down melanin deposits and prevent new pigmentation from forming. During the application, you may experience a mild tingling sensation, which is normal and indicates the peel is working effectively.

Following the treatment, your skin will undergo a natural exfoliation process over the next few days. Some patients experience light flaking or peeling, while others notice only subtle texture changes. It is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided, including avoiding sun exposure and using a high SPF sunscreen daily. Many patients combine pigmentation peels with other treatments available at our Dermatology clinic for enhanced results.

For optimal outcomes, a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended, though this will be tailored to your individual skin response and goals. Our team will monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey and adjust the protocol as needed to ensure you achieve the best possible results in reducing unwanted pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many pigmentation peel treatments will I need?

Most patients require a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, the exact number depends on the severity of your pigmentation, your skin type, and your desired outcome. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

2. Is the pigmentation peel suitable for all skin types?

The Dermaquest pigmentation peel system is formulated to be safe and effective for most skin types and tones, including darker skin. However, a thorough skin assessment is essential before treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you. Certain skin conditions or sensitivities may require alternative approaches, which our aesthetics team can discuss with you during your consultation.

3. What should I avoid after a pigmentation peel?

After your treatment, you should avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and heat treatments such as saunas for at least one week. It is crucial to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and avoid using harsh skincare products, retinoids, or exfoliants for several days post-treatment. You should also avoid picking or peeling any flaking skin, as this can cause irritation or scarring.

4. Can I combine pigmentation peels with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, pigmentation peels can often be combined with other treatments such as Hydrafacial or microneedling to enhance results. However, timing and sequencing are important to ensure your skin has adequate time to heal between treatments. Our aesthetics specialists will create a comprehensive treatment plan that safely incorporates multiple modalities if appropriate for your goals.

5. When will I see results from my pigmentation peel?

You may notice an initial glow and improved skin texture within a few days after your first treatment. However, significant reduction in pigmentation typically becomes visible after 2-4 weeks as your skin completes its renewal cycle. Progressive improvement continues with each subsequent treatment, with optimal results usually achieved after completing your recommended course of peels.
