Skin Conditions This Treatment Can Help Improve

Herbal Algae Peels can be beneficial for a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Acne and breakouts

• Acne scarring

• Congested or oily skin

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin tone

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing

​

Treatment Duration

A typical Herbal Algae Peel appointment takes 45–60 minutes.

The appointment usually includes:

• Skin consultation and assessment

• Cleansing and preparation of the skin

• Application and massage of the herbal algae mixture

• Calming finishing products and sun protection

In the days following the treatment, the skin may feel slightly tight and begin a light peeling or flaking process as the skin renews itself.

For best results, a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or tingling feeling during the massage stage of the treatment. This is normal and occurs as the natural particles stimulate the skin.

​

Will my skin peel afterwards?

Some clients experience light to moderate peeling over the next 2–5 days, while others may only experience mild dryness or flaking. The level of peeling varies depending on your skin type and the strength of the treatment performed.

When will I see results?

Many clients notice brighter, fresher skin within a few days. Continued improvements in texture and clarity are usually visible over the following 1–2 weeks.

How many treatments will I need?

For general skin rejuvenation, a single treatment may be beneficial. For concerns such as acne or pigmentation, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.

Is there downtime?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, sensitivity, tightness, or light peeling for a few days after treatment.

Is the treatment suitable for all skin types?

Herbal Algae Peels are suitable for many skin types, but a consultation is required to determine if the treatment is appropriate for your skin and concerns.
