Chemical peeling can be formulated with many different resurfacing ingredients, but broadly speaking they are designed to revitalise texture by causing the skin to shed cells, promoting firmness and fewer fine lines. This shedding reveals fresh, bright skin and indirectly stimulates collagen production in the dermis. Medical peels are a great option for those wanting to improve skin texture and fine lines, address acne and congested pores, and reduce sun damage and pigmentation. Peels are not one-off treatments and usually require a commitment to a series of at least 3 fortnightly treatments for the best skin results. Regular clinical peels will clear stubborn and problematic skin, and leave your complexion refined, firm, smooth, and bright. Stick with it, the results are phenomenal.
What are the best ingredients for peels?
Enzyme peels offer many benefits for the skin and are often an entry level peel for someone new to chemical peeling treatments. Enzymes are naturally derived from fruits and plant resources. The best plant-based proteolytic enzymes are papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple.
In terms of AHAs, we offer professional peel treatments that are formulated with lactic, malic and mandelic acid over glycolic acid. This is because lactic, malic and mandelic acids have larger molecules than glycolic acid and are therefore less likely to penetrate the epidermis and cause skin irritation. In addition, these AHA peel agents offer an array of skin benefits, such as lactic acid, as it is a natural skin hydrator and is less likely to cause surface dryness.
Salicylic acid, a BHA, is a great peel agent due to its ability to penetrate the pore and reduce inflammation, making it ideal for treating acne. Even sensitive skin will benefit from a low-level salicylic acid peel (5% or less).
Kojic acid is known best for its pigment fighting properties and lightening effects, it is used to treat skin conditions such as sun damage, scars and age spots.
In today’s overwhelming market of skin products, it’s crucial to do your research and find the right solutions for your skin type. With the plethora of skin products available and new treatments entering the market, it’s easy to get lost when trying to find the right solution for your skin concerns.
At ASPA we offer the wide range of facial treatments including BioRePeel and PRX-T33.
Overview of PRX-T33
This unique treatment is used to:
1. improve skin texture and tighten the skin,
2. reduce fine wrinkles,
3. improve overall skin pigment.
The secret to PRX-T33’s efficacy lies in its unique composition of only 3 ingredients. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) increases collagen formation, resulting in tighter, more elastic skin, whilst kojic acid reduces hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone. The result is an immediate lifting effect and a smoother, more youthful complexion without any downtime or side effects.

BioRePeel contains 12 different ingredients — 35% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) enriched with a mixture of Lactobionic acid, Salicylic acid, Tartaric acid, Citric acid, amino acids (Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine), vitamins (C, B2), and Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Numerous components of BioRePeel work in harmony to:
1. eliminate the signs of skin aging
