Lamelle Alpha 20% Chemical Peel (40 Minutes)

Restore brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with the Lamelle Alpha 20% Chemical Peel at Slim Me Beauty & Wellness Clinic in Pretoria East. This professional 20% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) chemical peel gently exfoliates, improves pigmentation, softens fine lines, and stimulates healthy skin renewal with minimal downtime.

What is an Alpha 20% Chemical Peel?

The Lamelle Alpha 20% Chemical Peel is a professional Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) skin-resurfacing treatment designed to improve dull skin, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, rough texture, and the early signs of ageing.

Unlike Beta Hydroxy Acids, which penetrate deep into oily pores, Alpha Hydroxy Acids work primarily on the skin’s surface, gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. This process stimulates natural cell turnover while improving skin brightness, hydration, and overall texture.

The Alpha 20% Peel is an excellent choice for clients wanting a smoother, more radiant complexion and is suitable for most skin types experiencing sun damage, pigmentation, or early ageing concerns.

Key Active Ingredient

20% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)

The Lamelle Alpha 20% Peel uses 20% Alpha Hydroxy Acid, a professional exfoliating acid that promotes controlled skin renewal while improving overall skin health.

Benefits of Alpha Hydroxy Acids

• Gently exfoliates dead skin cells
• Accelerates natural cell turnover
• Brightens dull skin
• Improves uneven skin tone
• Helps reduce pigmentation and sun damage
• Softens fine lines
• Smooths rough skin texture
• Improves skin hydration
• Promotes a healthy, radiant complexion

How Does the Treatment Work?

After a professional skin consultation, your therapist will cleanse and prepare your skin before applying the Lamelle Alpha 20% Peel.

The Alpha Hydroxy Acid gently loosens the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to shed naturally. This controlled exfoliation encourages fresh new skin cells to surface while improving hydration and stimulating healthier skin function.

Over time, regular treatments help refine skin texture, improve radiance, soften pigmentation, and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

What is the Difference Between the Alpha 20% Peel and the Beta Peels?

Although both are professional chemical peels, they target different skin concerns.

The Alpha 20% Peel primarily works on the surface of the skin, making it ideal for:

• Pigmentation
• Sun damage
• Dull skin
• Fine lines
• Uneven skin texture
• Dehydrated skin

The Beta Peels contain Salicylic Acid, which penetrates deep into the pores and is better suited to oily, congested, and acne-prone skin.

Your Lamelle therapist will recommend the most appropriate peel based on your skin type and treatment goals.

Benefits

• Brightens dull, tired-looking skin
• Gently exfoliates dead skin cells
• Improves uneven skin tone
• Helps reduce pigmentation and sun damage
• Softens fine lines and early wrinkles
• Smooths rough skin texture
• Improves skin hydration
• Encourages healthy skin renewal
• Leaves skin looking fresher and more radiant
• Minimal social downtime

• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Sun-damaged skin
• Hyperpigmentation
• Rough skin texture
• Fine lines

This peel is suitable for clients wanting brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin with gentle yet effective resurfacing.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Your treatment begins with a professional skin consultation to assess your skin and determine the best Lamelle peel for your concerns.

After cleansing the skin, the Alpha 20% Peel is carefully applied. You may experience a mild tingling sensation during treatment as the active ingredients begin exfoliating the skin.

Following the peel, soothing Lamelle products and broad-spectrum sunscreen are applied to protect your skin and support the healing process.

Treatment Time: Approximately 40 minutes.

Aftercare

To maximise your results:

• Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every day.
• Keep your skin hydrated with your recommended Lamelle skincare products.
• Avoid exfoliating acids, retinoids, and facial scrubs for 5–7 days.
• Avoid unnecessary sun exposure immediately after treatment.
• Do not pick or remove any flaking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my skin peel after the Alpha 20% Peel?

Some clients experience light flaking, while others notice very little visible peeling. Even if peeling is minimal, the treatment is actively stimulating skin renewal beneath the surface.

Is the Alpha 20% Peel suitable for sensitive skin?

Your therapist will assess your skin during your consultation. While the Alpha 20% Peel is gentle, clients with very sensitive skin may be better suited to another Lamelle peel, such as the Lacti-Firm Peel.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and desired results. A series of treatments combined with a personalised Lamelle home-care routine is often recommended for optimal skin rejuvenation.

Can I wear makeup after my peel?

Most clients can return to their normal daily activities immediately. Your therapist will advise you on the best time to apply makeup based on your skin’s condition after treatment.
