Microneedling + BioRePeel
Advanced Skin
A gentle medium-grade peel combined with microneedling – the Skin Renewal Programme.
Appointment length: 1 hour 5 minutes
What it is
BioRePeel is a medium-grade peel designed to be gentle on the skin barrier. It's often called the 'no-peel peel' because it works without the heavy shedding of a traditional peel, and with little to no burning.
That gentleness is what lets it be paired with microneedling in the same session, for texture, tone and clarity. It can be used on all skin types, including darker skin tones.
Good for
Fine lines
Acne scarring and active acne
Enlarged pores
Uneven texture and tone
Pigmentation
What happens on the day
I assess and cleanse your skin
BioRePeel is applied. You may feel a mild tingle
Microneedling follows, with the depth adjusted for your skin
How many sessions
Usually 3–4 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart. Stubborn pigmentation or scarring may need more. Real skin change takes time – a course is where you see it.
Results
Skin often looks brighter within days. Changes to texture, pigmentation and scarring build over the following weeks.
Downtime
Redness for 24–48 hours. BioRePeel itself doesn't usually cause visible peeling. That makes it a good choice if you can't have visible peeling, for example if you work in healthcare, retail or catering.

Questions
Does BioRePeel hurt?
Most people feel a mild tingle or sting for a short time. It's much more comfortable than a traditional TCA peel.
Why is it called a 'no-peel peel'?
Because it's designed to work without the heavy shedding of a traditional peel, which is why it can be combined with microneedling.
