Key Ingredient in the Pyruvic Peel

Pyruvic Acid – A powerful α-keto acid with keratolytic, antimicrobial, and sebostatic properties that:

  • Stimulates the formation of collagen, glycoproteins, and elastic fibres.
  • Reduces the cohesion of epidermal corneocytes, preventing thickened, rough skin.
  • Helps unclog pores and minimise acne breakouts.
  • Provides gentle exfoliation without excessive irritation.

Benefits of the Pyruvic Peel

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother skin.
  • Improves sun-damaged skin and uneven tone.
  • Targets mild hyperpigmentation and age spots.
  • Stimulates collagen production, tightening and firming the skin.
  • Minimises enlarged pores, refining skin texture.
  • Reduces acne and blemishes, with proven efficacy in treating inflammatory acne.
  • Improves actinic keratosis, addressing early signs of sun-induced skin damage.

Who Can Benefit from the Pyruvic Peel?

This peel is suitable for individuals looking to address the following:

  • Signs of premature ageing (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity)
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Acne and blemishes
  • Congestion and enlarged pores
  • Actinic keratosis and rough skin texture

Pyruvic Acid Peels are often recommended as an alternative to Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peels, particularly for fair skin. They offer impressive results with minimal downtime.

frequently asked
questions

Is the Pyruvic peel available at all Skin Renewal branches?
What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a resurfacing treatment that uses acids to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, and stimulate cell renewal, improving skin texture, tone, and clarity.

What types of chemical peels are available?

There are three main types:

  • Superficial Peels – Mild exfoliation, little to no downtime.
  • Medium Peels – Deeper penetration for sun damage and pigmentation.
  • Deep Peels – Intense exfoliation is recommended for deep wrinkles and scars.
Are chemical peels safe?

Yes, chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained professional. However, certain skin types, medical conditions, or medications may require a consultation before treatment.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel and skin concerns. At Skin Renewal, we combine chemical peels with other treatments like laser treatments, Carboxytherapy and PDT, increasing the treatment time.

Is there downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime varies by peel type:

  • Superficial Peels – Minimal redness, no downtime
  • Medium Peels – Mild peeling, recovery in 3–7 days
  • Deep Peels – More intense peeling, recovery in 7–14 days
What should you expect after a chemical peel?
  • Temporary redness, flaking, or peeling (varies by peel strength).
  • The skin may feel tight or sensitive.
  • Results improve over several days as new skin emerges.
Who should avoid chemical peels?

Chemical peels may not be suitable for individuals with:

  • Active skin infections or open wounds
  • Severe rosacea or extremely sensitive skin
  • Recent sunburn
  • Pregnancy or certain medical conditions

These contra-indications will be discussed during your initial doctor's consultation at Skin Renewal.
