Retinol Medical Peel

A professional-grade retinol peel using a 3% retinol formula combined with Neocitriate and the patented Aminofil compound — a concentration far above consumer-strength products. The peel stimulates skin cell turnover, reduces visible wrinkles and fine lines, clears enlarged pores, lightens hyperpigmentation and age spots, diminishes acne and acne scars, stimulates collagen synthesis and improves skin hydration. A post-treatment mask is applied at the session's close. Unlike ablative laser resurfacing, this peel has minimal downtime — some mild flaking may occur over the following days as the treatment encourages natural exfoliation.

Retinol (vitamin A alcohol) is the precursor to retinoic acid, the most studied skin-active retinoid. At the dermal level, retinoic acid accelerates keratinocyte turnover (bringing fresher cells to the surface faster), inhibits the enzymes that break down collagen, stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, and normalises the distribution of melanin by interrupting the pathway from tyrosine to melanin formation. The result is progressive improvement in texture, tone, wrinkle depth and pigmentation with consistent use. The 3% retinol concentration used in the Estetik Point medical peel sits significantly above the 0.025–1% range common in cosmetic retail products. Combined with Neocitriate — a citrate ester that enhances penetration and provides mild keratolytic action — and the patented Aminofil complex, which supplies amino acid precursors to support collagen synthesis directly at the dermis, the formulation functions simultaneously as an exfoliant, a collagen stimulator and a brightening agent. At the clinic the physician assesses the skin type and degree of photoaging to confirm suitability. The peel solution is applied evenly across the face (or targeted to specific zones such as the forehead, cheeks or perioral area). The patient may feel a brief tingling or mild warmth as the product contacts the skin; this normalises within minutes. After the appropriate contact time, a soothing and hydrating post-treatment mask is applied to support the skin barrier and accelerate recovery. In the days following treatment, the skin may appear slightly flushed and then begin to flake mildly — a sign that accelerated cell turnover is underway. This is not a harsh physical peeling but a controlled biological exfoliation. Sun protection (SPF 50) is essential for at least two weeks after the peel to protect the newly exposed skin. The peel is suitable for multiple concern types: acne-prone and congested skin, sun-damaged and pigmented skin, dull texture, early wrinkles and scarring. A course of four to six peels spaced two to four weeks apart delivers more substantial results than a single session. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or when using oral retinoids.
