Description

Treat persistent acne, oily skin, and stubborn congestion with the Lamelle Beta 20% Chemical Peel at Slim Me Beauty & Wellness Clinic in Pretoria East. This advanced 20% Salicylic Acid professional chemical peel delivers deeper exfoliation, helping to unclog pores, refine skin texture, reduce breakouts, and restore a clearer, healthier complexion with minimal downtime.

What is a Beta 20% Chemical Peel?

The Lamelle Beta 20% Chemical Peel is an advanced professional Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) treatment formulated with 20% Salicylic Acid. It is specifically designed for clients with more persistent acne, excessive oil production, enlarged pores, and stubborn congestion that require a stronger treatment than the Beta 15% range.

Because Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, it penetrates deep into the pores where acne and congestion begin. The higher concentration provides more intensive exfoliation while remaining a superficial professional peel, making it an excellent treatment for improving skin clarity and promoting healthier skin renewal.

This peel is best suited to clients whose skin has already been introduced to professional chemical peels and who require a more advanced treatment approach.

Key Active Ingredient

20% Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid – BHA)

The Lamelle Beta 20% Peel contains 20% Salicylic Acid, one of the most effective ingredients for oily and acne-prone skin.

Unlike water-soluble Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Salicylic Acid is lipid (oil) soluble, allowing it to penetrate through excess sebum and exfoliate deep inside the pores.

Benefits of Salicylic Acid

• Deeply exfoliates congested pores
• Dissolves excess sebum
• Helps reduce acne and breakouts
• Minimises blackheads and whiteheads
• Refines enlarged pores
• Encourages healthy skin cell turnover
• Improves uneven skin texture
• Brightens dull, congested skin
• Supports a clearer, healthier complexion

How Does the Treatment Work?

Following a professional skin consultation, your therapist will cleanse and prepare your skin before carefully applying the Lamelle Beta 20% Peel.

The 20% Salicylic Acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells while penetrating deep into oil-filled pores. This dual action helps remove congestion, dissolve excess oil, and stimulate healthy skin renewal.

As new skin cells replace older damaged cells, your complexion becomes smoother, clearer, and more refined over time.

What is the Difference Between Beta 15% (2 Layers) and Beta 20%?

Both treatments are designed to improve oily, congested, and acne-prone skin, but they differ in strength.

The Beta 15% (2 Layers) Peel increases the intensity of treatment by applying two layers of a 15% Salicylic Acid solution.

The Beta 20% Peel uses a higher concentration of Salicylic Acid (20%), providing a stronger professional treatment for clients with more persistent acne, heavier congestion, or excess oil production.

Your Lamelle therapist will recommend the most appropriate peel based on your skin condition, treatment history, and desired results.
