Retinol Accelerator
A professional-strength retinol treatment that safely triggers cellular renewal for enhanced results from chemical peels and skin resurfacing.
Book Retinol Accelerator
The Retinol Accelerator is a powerful add-on that boosts and accelerates your skin’s renewal process. This professional-strength gel-serum contains a potent 3.5% retinoid complex, 5% Niacinamide, and specialised penetration enhancers to dramatically enhance the results of chemical peels and other skin resurfacing treatments.
When added to your treatment, the Retinol Accelerator safely triggers light to medium controlled flaking post-treatment, which leads to accelerated cellular turnover and faster visible results. This controlled exfoliation process reveals brighter, smoother skin and maximises the benefits of your primary treatment.
This advanced booster is ideal for addressing concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, and sun damage. Your skin therapist will determine the appropriate application method based on your skin condition and treatment goals.
This treatment requires a patch test required 72 hours prior to treatment.
Please ensure you book your patch test or have had one within the last 6 months before scheduling this treatment.
