Benefits of a Cosmo Peel Forte treatment.

  1. Effective treatment for acne scars and pigmentation
    Cosmo Peel Forte is a powerful treatment when it comes to treating acne scars, dark spots, age spots and pigmentation issues like melasma. This chemical peel uses a potent combination of acids to exfoliate the skin, revealing fresh, new layers. 
  2. Brightens dull skin and evens skin tone
    If you’re tired of dull, lacklustre skin, the Cosmo Peel Forte can help restore your natural radiance. By removing dead skin cells and boosting collagen production, it promotes an even skin tone and leaves you with a fresh, glowing complexion. 
  3. Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
    Cosmo Peel Forte can not only treat acne scars and pigmentation - it can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The peel stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth out wrinkles and give your skin a youthful, refreshed appearance. If you're looking for a non-invasive way to fight the signs of ageing, this peel could be a great option.
  4. Safe for all skin types
    This chemical peel is suitable for Fitzpatrick types 1-3.  Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, you can benefit from the rejuvenating effects of this treatment.

When is the best time to get a Cosmo Peel Forte?

The timing of your Cosmo Peel Forte treatment can influence both your results and recovery. For optimal results and minimum downtime, we recommend scheduling your treatment during the cooler months (autumn or winter). This is because:

  1. Less sun exposure
    After a chemical peel, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. During the autumn and winter, you're less likely to be exposed to harmful UV rays, which can interfere with the healing process and lead to sun spots or hyperpigmentation.
  2. Adequate recovery time
    Cosmo Peel Forte requires approximately 5-7 days of recovery time. Since the peel removes the outer layers of skin, your skin may appear red or peel for a few days afterward. Scheduling your treatment when you're not as socially active ensures a smooth recovery.
  3. Prepare for summer glowing skin
    By scheduling your Cosmo Peel Forte during the cooler months, you’ll give your skin time to heal and rejuvenate, so you’ll be ready to show off a radiant complexion just in time for the warmer months.

What is the recovery time after a Cosmo Peel Forte?

One of the key benefits of the Cosmo Peel Forte is that it is a one off treatment and offers significant results with only a moderate amount of healing time. However, understanding the recovery process can help you plan for the treatment:

  • Immediately after treatment: Right after your treatment, your skin may feel warm, tight, and slightly flushed. This is normal and should subside within a few hours.
  • 2-5 days post-treatment: During this time, your skin may start to peel as it sheds dead cells. This process can lead to some redness and dryness, which is entirely expected. It’s crucial to avoid picking or scratching at your skin during this period.
  • 5-7 days after treatment: By the fifth day, most of the peeling should be over, and your skin will begin to feel softer and smoother with your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated. Redness can last for a few weeks but can be covered with makeup. 

Cosmo Peel Forte aftercare

To ensure the best results from your treatment, following proper aftercare is essential. Here are a few tips to help your skin recover:

  • Hydration: After your treatment, keep your skin moisturised with a gentle, hydrating moisturiser. This helps to promote healing and prevent dryness. See our recommended moisturisers (link to shop>moisturisers)
  • Sun protection: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after the peel, so make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day. Avoid sun exposure for the first week, if possible. See our recommended sunscreens (link to shop>sunscreen).
  • Avoid some skincare products: For the first week, refrain from using active products, exfoliants and retinols. Use gentle cleansers and moisturisers to support the healing process.

With moderate downtime and incredible results, the Cosmo Peel Forte treatment can help you achieve the glowing, youthful skin you’ve always wanted. Book a skin consultation today to find out more.
