DermaQuest peel at CoLaz clinics

DermaQuest is a professional brand of multi-action peels that combine acids with botanical extracts, fruit enzymes and brightening agents in a single formulation. Standard chemical peels use a single acid family (glycolic, salicylic, lactic) at a defined strength. DermaQuest peels blend multiple actives in lower concentrations with supporting botanicals, which gives a gentler, more comfortable experience suited to sensitive skin and Fitzpatrick four to six, with results that build through a structured course rather than peak in a single session.

Three formulations make up the CoLaz DermaQuest menu. Pumpkin Peel uses pumpkin enzymes and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation, brightening and barrier support, suited to dull, dehydrated or first-time peel skin. Salicylic Peel pairs salicylic acid with botanicals to treat acne, oily and congested skin without the irritation of a standard salicylic. Mango Brite Peel combines mandelic and azelaic acids with mango butter for pigmentation, melasma and uneven tone in melanin-rich skin. The right formulation is matched at consultation.

DermaQuest peels are formulated to deliver their effect cumulatively rather than in a single peak session. A course of three is the minimum that gives a meaningful brightening, texture and tone result; a course of six gives the strongest, longest-lasting outcome. Selling single sessions would mean charging patients for a peel that has not had the chance to do its job. Course pricing reflects the protocol the formulation is designed for.

The starter course is three peels spaced two to four weeks apart. Most patients see noticeable brightening, evenness and surface smoothing across the three sessions. The full course of six gives a deeper, more sustained result and is the recommended protocol for pigmentation and acne-prone skin. Maintenance peels every two to three months are often suggested once the initial course is complete.

DermaQuest is one of the gentlest peel ranges available, so downtime is usually less than a standard acid peel. Expect mild pink skin, a tight or warm feeling, and light flaking from day two to five. Most patients return to work the same afternoon with light cover-up makeup after twenty-four hours. Heat exposure, swimming and intense exercise are out for forty-eight to seventy-two hours.

We do not treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who have an active skin infection, cold sore or eczema flare in the treatment area, who are on isotretinoin currently or in the last six months, who have a known allergy to any of the botanical ingredients, who have a recent tan or sun exposure, or who have a history of keloid scarring. Skin and history are reviewed at consultation before the right formulation is agreed.

All three DermaQuest formulations are priced the same. Pumpkin Peel is £299 for a course of three and £449 for a course of six. Salicylic Peel is £299 for a course of three and £449 for a course of six. Mango Brite Peel is £299 for a course of three and £449 for a course of six. Single sessions are not offered because the formulation is designed for cumulative effect. A free consultation is required before any course is booked.
