Synergie Peel

The Synergie Practitioner range was developed to deliver the highest level of active ingredients to provide the best treatment for a large range of cosmetic skin conditions.

These include acne, congestion, blackheads, sun damage, uneven skin tone and fine lines. Synergie peels work by exfoliating and hydrating the skin. The type and number of peels required depends on the conditions being treated. 

Synergie Practitioner Peels offered at SSILC include:

Enzyme Hydropeel – The Synergie enzyme hydropeel is an effective introduction to creating a brighter and more even textured skin. This peel which contains papain enzyme (derived from papaya) and 15% lactic acid, can be used as a first-time peel and is also ideal for sensitive skin or high Fitzpatricks. It can create a more even texture to the skin prior to make-up application. 

Lactic Acid – The Synergie Minerals Lactic acid peel series is an effective yet gentle alternative to the traditional glycolic acid peels. The high level lactic acid peel is exclusively available to medically affiliated practices and protocol guidelines detailed below must be adhered to.

• Lactic acid is both a highly effective chemical exfoliant and hydrating agent.

• Lactic acid is the only AHA that is naturally occurring in human skin. Hence, there are receptor sites specifically designed to recognise and utilise this form of AHA effectively. Lactic acid is naturally metabolised by our cells due to the fact that it is one of the least irritating AHA’s and hence more suitable for hyper-reactive skin types. 

Salicylic Acid – Salicylic acid peels are very effective for dull and lifeless skin in need of exfoliation. The peel can improve acne and congested skin by getting deep into the pores and clearing out congestion. 

Action of Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Enzyme Peels

• Decongests epidermis by dissolving keratin cementing dead skin cells together. 

• Stimulates production of new skin cells at the basal layer (thereby increasing the rate of cell turnover).

• Increases the natural moisture factor of the skin resulting in increased hydration and firmer texture.

• Reduces inflammation associated with irritated or congested skin. 

Tetra Acid 50 Peel – A Tetra Acid 50 Peel is a powerful resurfacing treatment positioned as a slight step down from our most potent peel option, the Jessner Power Peel. Tetra Acid 50 Peel works by inhibiting pigment production to brighten and even skin tone while deeply exfoliating the skin to reduce visible pores, fine lines and wrinkles and refine skin texture. The Mandelic acid component works to clean out congested, oily and acne prone skin and will tackle breakouts. 

Jessner Power Peel – Synergie Jessner peel contains added Kojic Acid, a powerful tyrosinase inhibitor to address hyperpigmentation and sun damage. This peel is an excellent choice for persons with:

• Sun damage and ageing skin 

• Cystic acne

• Oily acneic skin types

• Combination skin types prone to breakouts

• Synergie Jessner peels are typically layered until frosting appears. The peel may sting significantly while it is on the skin. This is a normal response. Once self-neutralised, the client may experience redness or a tan discolouration to the skin for several days during the shedding phase.

• Flaking/peeling may occur for 3-4 days and is typically finished within 5-7 days. This peel can be applied at 4–6-week intervals. Six peels are recommended in a series.

• Do not have a peel if you are pregnant
