Chemical Peel — NOON Dermashield

Skinity Clinic uses the NOON Dermashield professional chemical peel series — a science-led range developed for precision-controlled exfoliation across skin types, including darker and reactive complexions. NOON Aesthetic's peels combine active acids (such as salicylic, lactic, mandelic, glycolic, and pyruvic acid, depending on the formulation) with novel carrier technologies that control penetration depth, minimise irritation, and reduce downtime compared to traditional TCA peels. Treatments are performed in-clinic under MUDr. Bortlík's medical supervision and are customised to the patient's Fitzpatrick type, skin concern, and tolerance. Conditions benefiting from chemical peels at Skinity include acne and post-acne hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, fine surface wrinkles, seborrhoeic skin, and dull complexion.

Chemical peels are controlled applications of acid solutions to the skin surface that induce a precise degree of epidermal and (in medium/deep peels) dermal injury, triggering an accelerated wound-healing response. The result is removal of damaged outer layers, stimulation of new epidermal cell turnover, and dermis-level collagen remodelling. At Skinity Clinic, MUDr. Martin Bortlík supervises the use of the NOON Dermashield professional peel range — a series from Israeli cosmeceutical brand NOON Aesthetic designed for evidence-based, predictable results in a clinical setting. **About NOON Dermashield:** NOON Aesthetic's peel system uses micro-encapsulation and buffering technologies to deliver active acid concentrations to the intended depth without the sudden, harsh penetration of traditional unbuffered formulations. This allows practitioners to achieve medium-depth results with lower acid concentrations and significantly less erythema and flaking, shortening social downtime. The range includes peels with varying active combinations: - Salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid, oil-soluble) — penetrates sebaceous follicles, ideal for oily, acne-prone and comedone-congested skin - Lactic acid (alpha-hydroxy acid, hydrophilic) — gentle, humectant, ideal for sensitive or dry skin - Mandelic acid (AHA, large molecule) — slower penetration rate, suitable for darker Fitzpatrick types with high post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) risk - Glycolic acid (AHA, small molecule) — deepest penetration of the AHA family; used for mature photoaged skin - Pyruvic acid — dual keratolytic and antibacterial properties; effective for acne and skin thickening **Conditions addressed:** - Active acne and comedonal acne - Post-acne hyperpigmentation and acne scarring (surface) - Melasma and sun-induced pigmentation (superficial) - Photoaged skin with fine lines and rough texture - Seborrhoeic skin with enlarged pores - Dull, tired-looking complexion - Age spots and uneven skin tone **The peel session:** The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to remove all oils and residues. The peel is applied uniformly using a fan brush in 1–2 layers. The patient will feel warmth and tingling that increases over 2–5 minutes; the practitioner monitors erythema and patient comfort. Neutraliser is applied (for self-neutralising NOON formulations, the acid is time-deactivated), followed by calming mask and SPF. Total session time: 30–45 minutes. **Downtime:** Superficial peels cause 2–4 days of mild flaking or dryness. Medium-depth peels may cause 5–7 days of visible peeling — moisturiser must be applied frequently; the skin must not be picked. Make-up can be used from day 3 (superficial) or day 5 (medium). **Aftercare:** SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning is non-negotiable — exfoliated skin is photo-sensitive. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs for 7–10 days post-peel. Use a gentle cleanser and a rich moisturiser until skin has fully recovered. **Series recommendation:** For acne and pigmentation, a series of 3–5 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart is standard. Maintenance peels every 6–12 weeks sustain results. Can be combined with microneedling (different sessions) for enhanced scar treatment.
