SA + MA Peel

SA + MA Peel

Persistent congestion, rough texture, uneven tone and recurrent breakouts can leave your skin feeling frustratingly unpredictable, especially when daily exfoliation and over-the-counter products aren’t enough to refine pores or smooth surface irregularities. These concerns often stem from a buildup of dead skin cells, excess oil, and inflammation that dull the complexion, exaggerate texture, and contribute to post-breakout marks. At Skin Renewal, we believe in targeted, results-driven solutions tailored to your skin’s needs.

The SA+MA Peel is a high-performance combination peel formulated with Mandelic Acid and Salicylic Acid, designed to effectively target acne, congestion, and uneven skin tone. With its low pH formulation, this peel provides deep exfoliation while remaining gentle enough for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types 5 and 6), minimising the risk of irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation, making it an excellent choice for those struggling with persistent blemishes, oily skin, or dullness.

frequently asked
questions

Is the SA + MA (Salicylic and Mandelic) Peel available at all Skin Renewal clinics?

SA + MA Peels are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.

How do you know which chemical peel is right for your skin?

The most suitable chemical peel depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals, whether that’s pigmentation, acne, fine lines, or dullness. A professional consultation allows your Skin Renewal doctor to assess your skin and recommend a peel strength and formulation that delivers results safely and effectively.

Can chemical peels be performed on sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes, certain chemical peels are specifically formulated for sensitive or compromised skin. These peels work gently to improve skin texture and tone while supporting the skin barrier. Your Skin Renewal doctor will tailor the treatment to minimise irritation and ensure your skin remains comfortable.

How many chemical peel treatments will you need to see results?

While some patients notice improved brightness and smoothness after one treatment, optimal results usually develop over a series of peels. A structured treatment plan allows for gradual skin renewal, longer-lasting results, and reduced risk of irritation.

Is there a best time of year to have a chemical peel?

Chemical peels can be performed year-round, but treatment plans may vary depending on sun exposure and lifestyle. Your Skin Renewal team will advise on the most appropriate peel type and timing, particularly if you spend time outdoors or are prone to pigmentation.

Will a chemical peel affect your daily routine or work schedule?

Downtime depends on the depth and type of peel used. Many superficial peels allow you to return to normal activities immediately. In contrast, more advanced peels may involve short-term flaking or sensitivity. Your practitioner will guide you on what to expect and how to care for your skin post-treatment.

Can chemical peels be combined with other skin treatments?

Yes, chemical peels are often combined with treatments such as microneedling, laser therapy, or medical skincare for enhanced results. Combination treatments are carefully planned to support skin healing and maximise overall skin rejuvenation without over-treating.

What can you expect after a chemical peel treatment?

After a chemical peel, your skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly red, similar to mild sun exposure. Light flaking or peeling may occur over the next few days as the skin renews itself. This is normal and temporary.

You’ll be advised to keep your skin hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum SPF daily. As healing progresses, skin typically appears brighter, smoother, and more even in tone, with results continuing to improve over time.
