Algae Peel Treatment

Natural Skin Renewal Facial

An algae peel is an advanced natural skin resurfacing treatment designed to renew the skin from within—without the use of harsh acids or chemicals.


Unlike traditional chemical peels, this treatment works by stimulating your skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to improve acne, pigmentation, scarring, and overall skin quality in a controlled and clinically safe way.


At Este Medical Group, this treatment is performed by trained practitioners using clinically proven techniques tailored to your skin type and concerns.

What Is an Algae Peel?

An algae peel is a biological skin peel that uses natural marine-based ingredients and microscopic bio-active particles to stimulate skin renewal.
 
Instead of dissolving the skin surface like chemical peels, it works by:
 
  • Activating circulation
  • Encouraging faster cell turnover
  • Stimulating collagen production
This process helps the skin regenerate naturally over several days, revealing clearer, smoother, and healthier skin.

How Does an Algae Peel Work?

During the treatment, a specialised algae-based formulation is gently massaged into the skin.
 
This creates controlled micro-stimulation that:
 
  • Boosts blood circulation
  • Triggers natural exfoliation
  • Accelerates skin renewal (typically within 72 hours)
Over the following days:
 
  • The skin may feel tight and slightly sensitive
  • Peeling begins after 2–3 days
  • New, refreshed skin is revealed
