ABOUT THE TREATMENT

What is Stimulating Peel Treatment?

A stimulating peel is an advanced form of chemical exfoliation designed to revive dull, tired skin and promote cellular renewal. Unlike traditional peels, this treatment combines exfoliating ingredients with skin-stimulating agents that trigger collagen production, helping to tighten, brighten, and smooth the skin over time.

At Dermedica Perth, our stimulating peel is tailored to target your unique skin concerns, offering visible results with minimal downtime.

  • Uneven skin tone & pigmentation Helps fade dark spots, sun damage, and discoloration, leaving skin looking brighter and more even.
