No, PHformula's formulations do not aim for superficial irritation like traditional peels do. Instead, their approach focuses on enhancing the skin from within, promoting regenerative support that continuously benefits the outer layers. As a result, flaking or peeling is not the typical outcome. If you experience a light skin dusting, it is simply the result of exfoliating excess dead skin cells, not a sign of irritation.

As a pharma-cosmeceutical brand, pHformula products are not sold online or over the counter, these products must be prescribed by a pHformula skin specialist via a consultation first.

Each formulation, whether intended for professional use or available for home use, offers a unique combination of skin resurfacing actives at maximum strength. 

pHformula prides itself on being the first pharma-cosmeceutical line to uniquely combine acids, vitamins, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and amino acids. Additionally, each product features the enhanced PH-DVC™ bio-availability delivery complex. 

Yes, we can customise your skin resurfacing treatment by mixing and matching cleansers, formulations, masks, and vitamins to address your specific skin concerns effectively. The primary treatments available for booking include:

•  SP Complex pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

The skin permeability complex grants instant radiance by targeting two key mechanisms: penetration and exfoliation. This formulation is specifically designed to “open up” cellular delivery channels, enhancing penetration and activating the skin’s regeneration response for improved results.

• Vitamin C Radiance Boost pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

Our treatment delivers maximum vitamin C concentration in a highly absorbable formulation. This advanced radiance-boosting system targets early signs of skin damage and is specifically designed for photo-aged and pigmented skin. When used regularly, it can effectively improve uneven pigmentation.

•  AGE/Anti-Ageing pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

This advanced skin resurfacing treatment promotes further post-treatment exfoliation while effectively addressing common signs of aging. It targets photo-aged skin, dullness, lentigines, telangiectasia, keratosis, and fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful appearance.

• CR/Inflammation pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

An active and effective formula designed for complete restoration of skin prone to chronic redness and rosacea. It features anti-microbial properties to diminish early signs of redness and prevent future flare-ups.

• MELA/Pigmention pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

Designed for all skin types, the innovative pHformula powerclay™ formula significantly improves hyperpigmentation. It minimizes melanin accumulation, effectively inhibits tyrosinase activity, and accelerates cellular turnover to help eliminate existing pigment.

•  AC/Acne & Oil Control pHformula Resurfacing Treatment:

The AC solutions penetrate deeply into pores to dissolve blockages and control bacterial growth in acne-prone skin. This formula provides anti-inflammatory benefits and strong keratolytic action to normalise troubled skin. Specifically crafted to address key acne manifestations like comedones, papules, and pustules, it targets the four main factors that trigger acne: seborrhoea, hyperkeratinisation, microbial colonisation (P. acnes), and inflammation.

Maintaining healthy skin is crucial during and after pregnancy. Many women may experience a worsening of existing skin conditions or the emergence of new ones during this time. 

It is advised to avoid using retinols during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. While the skin absorbs minimal salicylic acid from products containing less than 2% concentration, higher levels can pose greater risks. At Lucy Aesthetics, we consider these factors when recommending products and treatments, ensuring that both retinols and salicylic acid are excluded from prescription options. We offer a range of safe treatments and pHformula products specifically designed for pregnant or lactating individuals. Please mention this when booking your appointment.

To effectively address your skin concerns, we recommend starting with a minimum of 6-8 resurfacing treatments scheduled at two-week intervals. Once this initial course is completed, transitioning to one treatment every 4 weeks can help maintain your results.

During your personalised consultation, we will carefully evaluate your specific concerns, skin type, lifestyle, nutritional habits, and medical history. This comprehensive assessment allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan just for you. After our discussion, you'll receive clear guidance on the number of sessions needed and their recommended scheduling.

Additionally, we often advocate for mixed modality treatments, which are enhanced by supportive at home skincare to ensure optimal results and ongoing skin health.
