ABOUT THE BOTANICAL PEEL
ABOUT
Botanical Peel is a non-acid, chemical free peel that utilises manual exfoliation to resurface the skin, lifting away stubborn pigmentation (including melasma) softening the appearance of acne scarring. This superficial peel not only promotes blood circulation, but also stimulates cellular turnover, and strengthens the weakened acid mantle, increasing your skin’s natural moisturising factor.
HOW IT WORKS?
The Botanical Peel lifts the epidermis to promote shedding and removal of old, damaged skin cells. The combined action of friction and marine silicates causes a micro-trauma to the skin skin and promotes the natural rejuvenation process.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
This will depend on your main concern and condition of your skin. Between 3-6 regular treatments to treat most skin concerns. We would also create you a maintenance plan and home care routine to ensure your results are long lasting and maintained.

Botanical Peel Benefits
Preparation & Post - Care
Preparation
You must prepare your skin with prescribed skincare for two weeks prior to your session to ensure all your cells are strengthened and prepared for your peel. Preparing the treatment area is essential to its success and helps minimise your healing time. Following our expert advice on pre and post care plus maintenance, contributes to 70% of your treatment’s success. - You must apply a SPF 50+ containing zinc for two to four weeks prior to the treatment date. - Use corrective prescribed skincare by your therapist for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. - Avoid direct sun exposure for two to four weeks prior to treatment. - No spray tans - Avoid UV/heat-based treatments (sauna/tanning bed) for two weeks prior. - Arrive to your appointment with cleansed skin and no lotions. - Be sure to notify your therapist if you’re on any medication – this includes contraception and vitamins. - Do not use serums/lotions with active ingredients one week prior to your treatment. - Do not use filler four weeks prior to treatment. - Do not use Botox two weeks prior to treatment. - Avoid facial waxing or laser hair removal for two weeks prior to being treated. - If you’re prone to herpes simplex, you must use Zovirax for five days before and after intensive treatment. - If you have an autoimmune disease, you must be on oral antibiotics during the healing period. - Apply sunscreen every morning and reapply after four hours if you’re in water or direct sunlight. Ensure your sunscreen SPF is 50+ UVA and UVB.
Post - Care
Recovery times after the Botanical Peel vary from 4-10 days. It is normal to experience redness, heat, tingling, pin-prick sensations (similar to sunburn) and peeling. Best results are evident 14 days after treatment. You can expect an overall improvement in the tone and texture of your skin. Pigmentation will be reduced and your skin will be smoother, firmer, brighter and appear healthier and more hydrated. Immediately post treatment your skin will undergo a period of healing and recovery. Your therapist will recommend specific post care products that you will be required to use during this time to aid in recovery and to ensure optimum results. Sun exposure should be avoided and minimum SPF 50+ used daily. You may experience darkening/shedding of pigment lesions, do not pick, or exfoliate them, allow them to come away themselves. - Do not apply any makeup for 24-48 hours after your treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise and/or swimming, sun exposure, cooking over a hot stove or oven, hot showers or anything that will heat the skin for 24-48 hours. Avoid the use of active ingredients (AHA, Retinols, Acidic) for one week. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (antihistamine). - No waxing or laser hair removal on the treated area for two weeks. Avoid chlorinated water for 72 hours. You need to use sunscreen to prevent sun damage to the skin. Try to avoid direct sun exposure for two weeks. If you are prone to herpes simplex, you must use Zovirax for two days before and five days after intensive treatment. If you have an autoimmune disease, you must be on oral antibiotics during the healing period. When cleansing and applying the post-care products make sure you dab them on lightly and don’t wipe the skin as it can cause a reaction.
