What is a PQAge peel?
PQAge peel isn't like the classic peelings you've had before — this peel is suitable for all skin types, the results are immediate and you can see your skin being lifted and regenerated.
It combines stabilised trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with kojic and mandelic acids, a glycine complex, coenzyme Q10 and two growth factors, to revitalise and lift the face, neck and body with very little discomfort.
Treatment is required to be done every 7–10 days for a minimum of 5 treatments.
What's in a PQAge peel?
Liposomial Epidermal Growth Factor, Liposomial Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, a high concentration of modulated chloroacetic acid, kojic and mandelic acid, glycine complex and coenzyme Q10.
Liposomial growth factors
Two specific growth factors stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, thanks to their direct action on fibroblasts.
Mandelic & kojic acid
Kojic acid (5–10%) and mandelic acid (5–10%) help to brighten the skin and tackle pigmentation.
Stabilised TCA
Stabilised trichloroacetic acid (30–35%) delivers the lifting, regenerating effect — alongside a glycine complex and coenzyme Q10.
