WHAT IS A DÉCAAR ALGAE PEEL AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
A DÉCAAR Biological Algae Peel Facial is a combination of natural ingredients based on Algae, Herbs and Perfluorodecalin. It works differently to any other skin resurfacer from the inside out, from the basal layer to the surface. The micro-fibres of the peeling powder penetrate the skin, increasing the blood flow and production of new cells.
WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
The combination of natural ingredients is considered to be the most advanced and effective treatments on the market for the most common skin problems.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Typically the treatment takes 60 minutes, including preparation and aftercare advice.
WILL THE PEEL HURT OR STING?
You may feel a tingling or moderate stinging sensation, but it's generally well-tolerated and temporary.
CAN IT MAKE MY SKIN WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER?
The peel works by pushing the skin through the cell turnover cycle much quicker than it would naturally.
A few days after the facial treatment the skin will start to peel and flake away revealing newer healthier skin from within.
DO I NEED TO PREPARE MY SKIN BEFORE THE TREATMENT?
Yes, avoiding exfoliants, retinol and sun exposure for a few days before your peel is important.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY SKIN TO RECOVER?
Recovery varies but generally takes 3-7 days.
HOW OFTEN CAN I HAVE AN ALGAE PEEL?
Peels can be done every 7-10 days for 3-6 treatments. If more peels are required we recommend a 4 week break to allow the skin to fully restore itself before commencing a second course of peels.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
Results last for several weeks or months but can be extended with proper skincare and maintenance treatments.
CAN I COMBINE THIS TREATMENT WITH OTHER FACIALS OR SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
Absolutely! We have a very effective combination regimen depending on your skin concerns. Your DÉCAAR ambassador will be very happy to talk through this with you during your consultation.
CAN I WEAR MAKEUP AFTER THE TREATMENT?
It's best to avoid makeup to allow your skin to heal.
HOW SOON CAN I GO BACK TO MY REGULAR ACTIVITIES?
Most activities can be resumed 24-48 hours after a DÉCAAR Algae Peel, but it's best to avoid sweating, sun exposure and intense exercise for a few days.
SHOULD I AVOID CERTAIN SKINCARE PRODUCTS OR INGREDIENTS
AFTER THE PEEL?
It's best to avoid exfoliants, retinol, and harsh ingredients until your skin is fully recovered. However, if you do prefer to wear makeup, opt for a light, mineral-based formula like our BB Oxygen Cream SPF50, to keep your skin fresh and irritation-free.
