DermaQuest Power Peptide Peel (Neck)

Common questions

Before your appointment

• Stop retinol and strong exfoliants 5 to 7 days before — they sensitise the skin
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks prior — tanned skin peels unevenly
• No waxing, threading or aggressive facials 1 week before — skin must be calm
• Tell us about any cold sores — we may need to reschedule or prescribe prevention
• Come with clean, makeup-free skin — we need to see your true skin condition
• Avoid alcohol 24 hours before — it increases redness and sensitivity

After your treatment

• Do not apply makeup for 24 to 48 hours — let the skin breathe and heal
• Use SPF 30 or higher every day — new skin is highly sensitive to sun damage
• Avoid heat, exercise and sweating for 48 hours — heat worsens inflammation
• Expect redness, tightness and then peeling — this is normal for 2 to 7 days
• Use only the prescribed homecare products — no actives until cleared
• Do not pick or peel flaking skin — let it shed naturally to avoid marks

Do not book if

• You have sensitive or reactive skin that stings easily
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding
• You have used isotretinoin in the past 6 months
• You have an active cold sore or open wound on the face
• You have autoimmune skin conditions or a history of keloid scarring
• You have had recent facial surgery, laser or other intensive treatment
• You cannot commit to strict sun avoidance and daily high-factor SPF
• You need to look presentable without makeup within 48 hours

How it compares

✅ Compared with BioRePeel with LED Light Therapy

• Acid strength and type — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck uses 40% glycolic acid for dramatic surface peeling and renewal; BioRePeel with LED Light Therapy uses 35% TCA that works deeper with less visible shedding.
• What the peeling looks like — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck gives 2 to 7 days of visible peeling and flaking, with skin that can look sunburned then sheds like after a holiday; BioRePeel with LED Light Therapy has zero visible peeling - any flaking is microscopic rather than obvious.
• When you can wear makeup — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck needs 24 to 48 hours before makeup can be applied; BioRePeel with LED Light Therapy lets you put makeup on after 24 hours.
• Best for this skin type — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck is for thick, resilient skin that tolerates actives and needs maximum surface correction; BioRePeel with LED Light Therapy suits slightly more sensitive skin or anyone who prefers less obvious downtime.
• Choose this if your skin is thick and resilient and you want maximum surface correction; choose BioRePeel if you prefer less obvious downtime or have slightly more sensitive skin

✅ Compared with DermaQuest Resurfacer Facial

• Primary purpose — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck is intensive wrinkle correction and firming for skin that needs serious renewal; DermaQuest Resurfacer Facial is professional exfoliation for radiant renewal and smoother, glowing skin.
• Best for — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck is for significant sun damage or deep wrinkles that need more than surface polishing, and skin that is resilient and tolerates active ingredients; DermaQuest Resurfacer Facial is the gentler, maintenance-level peel - a good starting point if you're new to professional peels, and one people come back to for regular upkeep.
• What to expect after — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck gives 2 to 7 days of visible peeling and flaking, with redness and tightness at first - skin can look sunburned initially, then sheds like after a holiday; DermaQuest Resurfacer Facial has no visible peeling or flaking - your skin may look a little red or feel warm to begin with, and a cool compress settles it.
• How long results last — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck gives immediate smoothing and firming, with full result at 7 to 14 days once peeling finishes - a single treatment typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks, with longer-lasting cumulative results from a course; DermaQuest Resurfacer Facial gives you the glow straight away, and a single session typically gives you two to four weeks of it.
• Choose this if you need significant results in fewer sessions and your skin can handle it; choose Resurfacer for regular upkeep or if you are new to professional peels

✅ Compared with Microneedling with Deep Cleanse

• How it works — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck dissolves dead skin with high-strength glycolic acid while peptides signal your skin to build new collagen and elastin; Microneedling with Deep Cleanse clears out pores with a deep cleanse, then creates thousands of tiny channels that trigger your skin's natural repair system to build fresh collagen.
• Best for — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck is for significant sun damage or deep wrinkles that need more than surface polishing, if your skin is resilient and tolerates actives; Microneedling with Deep Cleanse is for anyone with dull, congested skin wanting instant glow plus longer-term collagen improvement, or for acne scarring.
• What it feels like — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck feels warm, tingly and possibly mildly stinging as the acids work - intense but manageable, fading quickly once neutralised; Microneedling with Deep Cleanse feels scratchy or vibrating after numbing cream - quite manageable, with skin calm and prepped from the deep cleanse first.
• Recovery — DermaQuest Power Peptide Neck gives 2 to 7 days of visible peeling and flaking, with redness and tightness at first - makeup should not be applied for 24 to 48 hours; Microneedling with Deep Cleanse gives noticeable redness and a tight, warm feeling for 24 to 48 hours, and most people feel comfortable returning to work the next day with a little coverage.
• Choose this if you want immediate brightening and texture improvement; choose microneedling for acne scarring or if you cannot tolerate acids
