Cool Peels at Marconi Castle: Skin + Spa are a modern, gentler chemical peel system developed by Environ. The key idea is to promote skin renewal and improvement without aggressive damage to the skin barrier. Some features:

They use low percentage acids and low pH formulas, which allow exfoliation while keeping irritation and risk low.
They preserve as much of the epidermis as possible, limiting damage to the outer layers. This contrasts with many traditional peels that rely on deeper, more aggressive exfoliation.
They feel “cool” and comfortable during application. There’s usually only mild tingling or a cooling sensation.

We offer variations within our Cool Peel range (e.g. Resurfacing, Brightening, Deep Cleansing, Retexturizing and Age-Management, etc.) so treatments can be tailored for different skin types and concerns.

Benefits of Cool Peels

Here are the primary advantages clients tend to see, backed by what is reported by Environ and spa providers:

Improved skin texture & toneThey help refine uneven texture, reduce roughness, smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Brightening & reducing discolourationHelps with sun damage, dullness, uneven pigmentation.
Support for blemish-prone or oily skinThe peels assist with unclogging pores, managing blemishes, clearing built-up dead skin that contributes to breakouts.
Stimulating collagen productionThe treatments are designed to stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis, encouraging more collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin.
Little to no downtimeBecause of the gentle nature, clients can often resume normal day-to-day activities almost immediately. Any peeling/redness is mild and transient.

Compatibility with maintenance home careEnviron emphasizes preparing the skin (especially using vitamin A) prior to the peel, and continuing good skincare afterwards to enhance and prolong results.

Who Can Receive the Treatment (and who should take precautions)

Good candidates:

Those showing early signs of aging: fine lines, mild wrinkles, loss of radiance.
Skin that is uneven in tone or texture.
Blemish-prone or oily skin, especially when dead skin buildup or clogged pores are involved.
Skin that has sun damage (mild‐moderate).
People who want results but don’t want or can’t tolerate a lot of downtime or strong irritation.

Precautions / who might need to avoid or modify:

Skin that has not been “prepped.” Environ recommends using vitamin A (and antioxidants, sunscreen) for several weeks before to build skin resilience.
People with certain skin conditions: active cold sores, open wounds, certain infections, very sensitive skin not responding well to acids, etc. (As with any peel, a skin professional needs to assess.)
Those who have used isotretinoin (Accutane) recently (usually need a waiting period).
Recent laser, dermabrasion, or other skin-trauma treatments.
Pregnancy: generally considered safe under guidance but should be done with a medical professional’s approval.

What to Expect

A typical course is about 3-6 treatments spaced 1–2 weeks apart, depending on skin goal.
Results can be seen after a single treatment (especially in radiance, smoother feeling), but cumulative effects are better with the full course.
The post-treatment period is mild: perhaps a cooling sensation or slight redness; light peeling in some cases. But nothing like more aggressive peels.
Continuous sun protection is vital, both before and especially after treatments. Using home products recommended by the professional will help maintain resultsFinal Thoughts
