I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments in South Africa

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, our approach is bespoke and tailored to solve your specific concerns.

Before any I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments, patients undergo a comprehensive examination, including a VISIA Skin Analysis and a consultation with a Skincare Specialist. This enables us to create a customized, results-driven treatment plan and track progress effectively.

Our expert team upholds Dr Nerina Wilkinson’s high standards, consistently delivering remarkable results using cutting-edge devices and products. We spare no expense in providing a safe and luxurious environment to address all your skincare needs.

Each I-Peel-L Bespoke treatment is meticulously crafted, focusing on an individual’s specific concerns and desired outcomes.

I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments combine two powerful procedures, Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments and TCA chemical peels, to achieve faster and more dramatic results in just a single session. This innovative approach is especially beneficial for those with severe sun damage.

LUMECCA™ IPL is a light therapy that targets facial veins, sun spots, mottled pigmentation, and discolouration on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The heat generated by IPL stimulates collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and quality.

The TCA chemical peel is a medical-grade peel that incorporates gentle fruit acids for even penetration and cellular turnover stimulation. The patented Post Peel Mask, rich in antioxidants, accelerates the healing process, protects against environmental aggressors, and prevents skin darkening.

Together, these treatments provide remarkable improvements in skin health, texture, and appearance by addressing various skin concerns.

The ideal candidate for I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments is someone with severe sun damage, including sun spots, mottled pigmentation, and discoloration. These treatments are designed to address skin concerns on the face, neck, chest, and hands. Candidates should be prepared to follow pre-treatment guidelines and aftercare instructions to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness and achieve the best possible results for their skin’s health, texture, and appearance.

The face, neck, chest and hands.

I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments are completed over four steps and begin with a skin surface prep (cleanse) to ensure optimal treatment results. Next, Lumecca IPL administration targets facial veins, sun spots, and discolouration. The SkinTech Easy TCA Pain Control Peel is then applied to encourage cellular turnover. Finally, a Post Peel Cream is applied to aid the healing process and protect the skin, completing the comprehensive and tailored treatment process.

I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments offer numerous benefits, including stimulation of cell regeneration, reduction in acne scarring, and resurfacing the skin for a healthy and smooth complexion. They also improve skin texture and tone, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and address sun damage. After assessing your skin 4 weeks post-treatment, your specialist may recommend further combination therapy or individual treatments such as IPL or a chemical peel.

After an I-Peel-L Treatment, your skin may have a slight glow and feel comfortable. However, it will feel dry and tight for the first few days, with possible swelling and darkened areas. Physical peeling typically begins on day 4 and lasts 3 to 6 days. It’s essential not to apply extra moisturizer, as it may hinder the treatment’s effectiveness. Results become visible within 1-2 weeks after the treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. When treating the neck, chest, and hands, the healing process takes 2 to 3 weeks, meaning treatment intervals will be longer compared to the face.

A full I-Peel-L Treatment may show significant results after just one session, as it combines IPL and Skin Tech Easy TCA Pain Control Peel. However, it is crucial to assess the skin 4 weeks after the first treatment to determine if further combination therapy is necessary. Depending on your skin’s regeneration rate, you may only require IPL or a chemical peel on its own.

I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments typically take between 90 to 120 minutes to perform, depending on the specific areas being treated. This allows for a thorough and precise application of the treatment to effectively address your skin concerns.

The recovery period for I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments varies depending on the area treated. After the treatment, your skin may feel dry and tight for the first few days. Physical peeling typically begins on day 4 and continues for 3 to 6 days. When treating the neck, chest, and hands, the healing process takes 2 to 3 weeks, meaning the treatment interval will be longer than for the face.

I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments are considered safe when performed by a qualified Skincare Specialist in a clean, medical environment. By adhering to these conditions, the risks associated with the treatment diminish significantly, ensuring a more secure and effective experience for the patient.

When performed by a qualified Skincare Specialist in a clean, medical environment, the risks of I-Peel-L Bespoke treatments are significantly reduced. However, potential risks and side effects may include:

• Fever blister outbreaks in individuals prone to them

It is important to inform your Skincare Specialist if you have a history of fever blisters, as a fever blister medication needs to be started 3 days before the treatment prevents HZ activation.

• Rare adverse effects such as severe post-treatment erythema, sterile pustules, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, severe skin peeling, and crusting. 
• Prolonged photosensitization and severe erythema lasting up to 7 days post-treatment

While the majority of people do not experience these complications, it is important to be aware of these risks and discuss them with your Skincare Specialist in advance.

We are passionate about providing results-driven skincare solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. 

To ensure optimal results, a computerized VISIA Skin Care Analysis is performed, objectively measuring and mapping your skin. This is followed by a detailed consultation with a Skincare Specialist to discuss specific concerns and goals. Proper preparation and post-treatment care are essential for achieving the desired outcome.
