What is an Acnelan Peel?
The Acnelan peel is a deep cleansing treatment featuring a unique combination of active acne-fighting ingredients. In addition to the in-clinic peels, results are best achieved utilising a course of specially formulated home care products, which are provided. The home care regime also targets acne triggers and prevents a recurrence after the peel course is complete.
Treatment details:
Our team will tailor a treatment plan for your individual needs and skin type during your consultation.
During the treatment, a mask is applied to cleanse the skin and clear the pores. Excess oil, bacteria and dead skin are removed resulting in a decrease of inflammation. A post-peel spray is used to soothe and balance the skin before a pore-sealing shield is applied to tighten the pores and prolong the effect of the Acnelan treatment.
The skincare maintenance regime is continued at home for three months. This helps to optimise the results of the in-clinic treatment and reduces frequency and severity of future breakouts.
The key to maintaining results following your Acenelan Peel is to continue the at-home skincare and maintenance. This will maintain and maximise the results you will experience. In severe acne cases, 2-4 annual treatments may be required.

The deep clinical peel treatment takes about 30 minutes and is repeated three times, 2-4 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s specific needs.
Acnelan can be used to treat and prevent acne on the face, chest and back.
Acnelan is not painful. There may be some mild discomfort immediately following but the application itself is very quick and feels like a regular facial treatment. Skin may be sensitive or reddened skin for 24-48 hours following the treatment but this will subside.
As the Acnelan peel only causes a mild exfoliation, the risks are minimal. It is essential to leave the skin alone post-treatment and trust in the healing process. Some people may experience peeling. It is crucial not to pick or scratch at the peeling skin as this can result in scarring, infection, and possible pigmentation changes. The daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF, home care regime and your therapist’s advice will also ensure the skin is protected during the healing process.
The treatment is recommended for people who suffer from mild to severe acne, congestion, breakouts, and oily skin. Acnelan Peel is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
After the treatment, you may experience some warmth and slight redness of the treated area. Some patients may experience peeling, which can last around 1-4 days after the treatment. This will resolve and reveal smoother, clearer skin. Optimal results require the at-home treatment plan to be followed.
To achieve optimal results, the at-home skincare routine is required for three months. The products are included as part of the treatment. In addition to the at-home skincare regime, we also recommend the following:
- Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours
- Wait at least seven days before getting tattoos or filler substances
- Avoid any skin treatment that involves retinoids
- Avoid any waxing, epilation, or laser treatment for a minimum of two weeks
- Stay away from swimming pools, spas, and saunas for at least two days
