Dermapure Signature Peel uses glycolic acid to chemically exfoliate a thin layer of dead cells to refresh the complexion. This medical-grade treatment offers many benefits:
> Reduces the appearance of skin discoloration associated with sun damage.
> Refines skin texture and unclogs pores.
> Accelerates the skin’s natural renewal process, contributing to an anti-aging effect.
> Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
> Enhances hydration levels for a plump and supple complexion.
Glycolic acid (AHA) is a naturally derived product, sourced from sugarcane or fruit acids, which we use here at Dermapure. It works both on the surface and in the deeper layers of the skin, dissolving fatty molecules and dead, dry cells that interfere with hydration and proper oxygenation of the skin. Like the buildup of dead skin on our heels, our faces also develop a layer of dead cells. Through the application of the Dermapure Signature Peel, this layer is effectively removed, resulting in smoother, softer skin and facilitating better penetration of cosmeceuticals.
To mitigate potential irritation, Functionlab has developed Professional Glycolic Peel Slow-Release technology. This innovation enables the active ingredients to penetrate the skin gradually over an extended period, minimizing the risk of skin irritation, making the Signature Peel an interesting option for those with heightened skin sensitivity.
Duration of treatment: 30 minutes
By harnessing the potent power of Glycolic acid, the Dermapure Signature Peel powered by Functionalab accelerates cell turnover, reducing fine lines and photodamage, while delivering exfoliation and hydration for a radiant finish in 30 minutes! Thanks to Functionalab’s Professional Glycolic Peel Slow-Release technology, the active ingredients maintain their potency in the skin for a longer period, resulting in greater efficacy when compared to other professional peels.
While Dermapure Signature Peel delivers visible results, it’s important to note that outcomes may vary for each individual. Therefore, the images shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not guarantee specific results. At Dermapure, our highly qualified team of physicians, nurses and skin experts are committed to tailoring the treatment to enhance your natural beauty.
Removing surface impurities and all traces of makeup are the first steps in a glycolic acid peel treatment. It’s important to start off with a clean canvas—the treatment is wiped down with a gauze pad pre-soaked in alcohol to remove any oily film from the surface.
Before starting, your technician will apply a protective balm to sensitive areas and provide you with eye protection.
The technician will use a brush to carefully apply the liquid glycolic acid solution over the entire surface of the treated area. The first peel is always applied at a lower 20% concentration. This concentration may be increased to 30% in follow-up sessions, if recommended by the technician. You may feel a slight tingling sensation on your skin as the glycolic acid’s exfoliating action takes effect. This is perfectly normal.
The glycolic acid solution is left on your skin for about five minutes to allow it to react. This may vary slightly depending on the degree of skin reaction and the concentration used. The technician will set a timer and will monitor your skin closely for any visible signs of reaction during the procedure.
The exfoliating process can be stopped easily with cold water. The technician gently rinses the treatment area with a clear water compress to neutralize the product. The skin is instantly soothed.
As a final touch, the skin is hydrated using a combination of high-performance anti-aging products. Now is the perfect time to discuss your at-home skincare routine with your technician, who can recommend adjustments tailored to your specific skin needs.

Dermapure Signature Peel is a skin maintenance treatment. For optimal results, a Dermapure Signature Peel should be scheduled every change of season. We also recommend 5 to 6 follow-up sessions, performed every two weeks to remove several layers of dead skin cells and improve skin tone and texture.
Pregnant or breast-feeding women should postpone treatment. Particular attention is necessary for individuals with very sensitive skin and naturally darker skin types V and VI.
The most popular treatment area for a Dermapure Signature Peel is the face, but it can also be applied to the neck and chest areas. The procedure is performed in clinic, and it takes only 30 minutes. Localized redness or tightness, as well as some scaling are to be expected in the 24 hours following the procedure.

Visit The Online StoreDermapure Signature Peel is a type of chemical peel that uses glycolic acid derived from fruit acid as its main active ingredient. This peel is designed to exfoliate the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, thus promoting the regeneration of new cells to reveal a refreshed appearance and youthful glow. Due to its properties, a Dermapure Signature Peel can help even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines, fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and reduce acne.
The benefits of glycolic acid vary by concentration. Lower concentrations are suitable for gentle, daily exfoliation and hydration, while higher concentrations are reserved for more intense exfoliation, collagen stimulation, and correction of more pronounced skin concerns. During your consultation with our experienced techicians, we can determine the level of concentration to be used during your acid peel based on individual skin concerns, tolerance, and your desired outcome. Please note that the first peel is always applied at less than 20% concentration.
The Dermapure Signature Peel stands out as a medical-grade peel due to its comprehensive treatment approach which includes several key enhancements for a more complete skincare experience. The peel uses high concentrations of glycolic acid, which allows for deeper exfoliation and, thus, more significant skin rejuvenation. As a result, the treatment is superior at targeting severe skin issues more effectively than over-the-counter products.
A Dermapure Signature Peel typically takes around 30 minutes, making it convenient to accommodate our patients' busy schedules. We begin by thoroughly cleansing and exfoliating the skin to eliminate dirt and impurities. Then, we delicately wipe the face with an isopropyl alcohol pad to gently remove any surface oil, ensuring that the area is a clean canvas for the procedure. After protecting the eye, nose and lips contours with a specialized cream, our technicians use a brush to apply the peel, allowing it to remain on the skin for approximately five minutes to ensure an adequate reaction. Following this, the acid is neutralized and removed. The final step involves applying customized skincare products such as serum, hydrating cream, and SPF 50. Throughout this process, we engage with the patient to discuss at-home skincare routines, manage sensitivity, and ensure optimal results.
This type of peel can be used on the face, as well as on several areas of the body, including the neck, chest, and back. The properties of the Dermapure Signature Peel help accelerate the removal of dead skin cells, stimulates new cell growth, and promote collagen production, addressing specific concerns like acne, pigmentation, and aging signs in treatable areas.
