EnerPeel

Before any treatment, a consultation takes place to determine the correct treatment plan for you.

Each procedure is generally 25-30 minutes. This will include an assessment of the skin, pictures, the peel procedure and aftercare instructions.

Peels generally produce a temporary warm tingling sensation which passes quickly.

Depending on your specific skin type and problem, you may see results after one peel but the course is designed to work over 3 months so it is then that you will see the optimum effect.

ENERPEEL Technology

ENERPEEL is the peel brand of choice in many of the UK’s leading private skin clinics. ENERPEEL are a form of chemical peels that focuses on achieving activity inside the skin rather than on the skin surface, so the emphasis is on remodelling, restructuring, rejuvenating, reducing sun and age damage and controlling skin problems such as acne, rosacea, thread veins, pigmentation problems and many others. Surface activity is limited and controlled by only releasing the full effect of the ingredients once they have been absorbed across the stratum corneum. This is a unique mechanism. Also, restraining the active peel components in a carrier solution allows greater levels of absorption of the active ingredients across the stratum corneum.

Carrier Technology

ENERPEEL® is a carrier solution which restrains the key ingredients and their strength of activity and can be adjusted to release the ingredients at the desired skin depth for maximal results. However, this is not a buffered peel. This mechanism of action minimises surface trauma which can cause reddening, frosting, peeling and downtime, but maximises the activity in the skin to promote improved skin structure and function. Ultimately, the ENERPEEL system aims to correct many skin issues efficiently and far more effectively than standard peels by triggering gene expression of matrix remodelling components.

Peels Tailored for the Individual Skin Need

The 10 different ENERPEEL systems contain specific ingredient combinations to target the active treatment components for each individual skin condition. This includes supplementing the skin with specific skin condition treating ingredients. For example, the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and oil-reducing agents which slow down oil production and reduce inflammation, alongside Salicylic Acid which removes debris and surface oil and opens up blocked hair follicle ducts in the treatment of acne.

ENERPEEL is boosted and supported by the TEBISKIN cytoceuticals (cyto – focusing on optimising the activity of cells) which prepare the skin and promote even greater results by maximising the effect of the peels and the response of the key cells within the skin:

Gene Expression and Enzyme Activation

ENERPEEL has been scientifically proven to successfully and significantly activate the skin-remodelling enzymes, such as zymogen which is converted to MMP, necessary for complete remodelling. Clinical studies show that an ENERPEEL based solution does this more effectively than the same ingredients delivered by a standard solution. ENERPEEL also increases the activity of enzymes which produce key skin ingredients such as hyaluronic acid.

ENERPEEL systems are supported by research and results from clinical trials. We have specific treatment protocols for every skin condition; from acne to rosacea, from dark eyes to loose skin, and from cellulite to thread veins. All protocols have been properly researched and evaluated by leading dermatological research centres across Europe.

EnerPeel JR is a specially modified Jessner’s solution (from the name of the American dermatologist who popularised this combination) and utilises a beta and an alpha hydroxy acid combined with resorcinol, a phenol derivative: all delivered using the EnerPeel Carrier Molecule technology.

Enerpeel JR treats hyperpigmentation, Actinic keratosis, Hyperkeratosis, Chrono and Photo ageing. EnerPeel utilises unique carrier molecules which bind to all the active ingredients, holding them in check (not active) on contact and only on absorption are the active ingredients released.

This means the key resorcinol and lactic acid ingredients, which slow down pigment production and remove existing pigment in skin cells, reach the melanocytes (pigment-containing cells) and exert a powerful pigment control effect. These peels are supported by keeping the resorcinol levels high by utilising Tebiskin Lightening cream which also contains three other pigment-reducing ingredients and is comparable in effect to a 4% hydroquinone but does not contain any hydroquinone or any derivatives of hydroquinone.

We have adopted one of our scar management protocols directly from one of the world’s foremost authorities on acne and scar treatment, Professor Chou. Although most types of scars respond very well to the DermapenFNS device alone, certain scars will need more. With box scars and ice-pick scars, we employ DermapenFNS combined with an EnerPeel® TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction Of Skin Scars). The 40% TCA in an Enerpeel carrier solution is delivered into the scar ‘hole’ and causes the scar to scab over and the ‘hole’ fills with scar tissue. The scar tissue can then be revised using dermal needling. (See also Chemical Peel FAQ on how Enerpeels work). Needling the skin just prior to the TCA CROSS initiates skin matrix degradation and rebuilding and then only needling is repeated after four to six weeks.

Scars which are tethered or depressed (due to being held down by adhesions or ‘tethers’) will not respond without releasing the scar tissue from its ‘tethers’ allowing the skin to lift and flatten. Thus, subcision is the standard practice before needling these scars and delivers excellent results. See separate FAQ on this.
