Supporting a Brighter, More Hydrated and Luminous-Looking Complexion
The Hydraglow Peel at Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic is a beautifully balanced professional skin peel that delivers the perfect combination of gentle yet effective exfoliation and deep skin hydration — revealing a brighter, smoother and more luminous complexion with minimal disruption to the skin and virtually no downtime. It is a treatment that works as hard on nourishing and hydrating the skin as it does on renewing and refining it — making it an exceptional choice for those who want visible and immediate results without the recovery period associated with more intensive peeling treatments.
The Hydraglow Peel sits in a unique and highly desirable position in our professional peel offering — more corrective and impactful than a superficial enzyme treatment, yet more gentle and hydrating than our more intensive medium-depth peels. It is a treatment that can be genuinely enjoyed as well as endured — delivering a comfortable, relaxing and deeply nourishing professional peel experience that leaves the skin glowing, refreshed and visibly improved from the very first session.
At Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic, the Hydraglow Peel is performed by our experienced registered nurse with care, precision and a thorough understanding of your individual skin — ensuring that every treatment is appropriately calibrated to your skin type, condition and goals for a result that is both immediately satisfying and meaningfully beneficial to your long-term skin health.
Whether you are looking to restore radiance and hydration to a dull and dehydrated complexion, address early signs of ageing and uneven skin tone or simply experience the pleasure of a genuinely effective professional peel with minimal downtime, the Hydraglow Peel is an outstanding and deeply rewarding treatment choice.
The Hydraglow Peel is a professional superficial to light skin peel formulated with thirty percent lactic acid and a carefully selected blend of skin-supporting peptides — combining the powerful exfoliating, brightening and hydrating properties of high-concentration lactic acid with the collagen-stimulating, repair-supporting and skin-strengthening benefits of professional peptide technology.
Lactic acid is one of the most versatile and well-tolerated professional peeling agents available — an alpha hydroxy acid derived from milk that is uniquely suited to delivering both exfoliation and hydration simultaneously. Unlike some other peeling acids that purely dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, lactic acid also has excellent natural moisturising properties — supporting the skin’s own hyaluronic acid production and contributing to a more hydrated, plumped and luminous result than many other peeling formulations are able to deliver.
The addition of professional peptides to the Hydraglow formulation takes this treatment to an entirely different level — layering the exfoliating and brightening benefits of lactic acid with the targeted cellular communication, collagen support and skin repair benefits of peptide technology. Together these two key components create a professional peel experience that is simultaneously corrective, hydrating and restorative — delivering results that look and feel genuinely healthy rather than simply stripped or resurfaced.
At thirty percent concentration, the lactic acid in the Hydraglow Peel delivers a meaningfully corrective level of professional exfoliation — dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface and encouraging their removal to reveal the fresher, brighter and more evenly toned skin beneath. At this concentration lactic acid penetrates effectively into the superficial layers of the skin — stimulating cell turnover, encouraging collagen production and delivering a visible and immediate improvement in skin texture, tone and radiance.
What makes lactic acid particularly special — and particularly well suited to a treatment called the Hydraglow — is its natural humectant and moisture-binding properties. Lactic acid supports the skin’s production of natural moisturising factors and hyaluronic acid — meaning that even as it exfoliates and resurfaces the skin, it simultaneously supports and enhances its hydration. The result is a post-treatment skin that feels genuinely nourished and plumped rather than tight, dry or sensitised — which is the hallmark of the Hydraglow Peel experience.
Lactic acid is also one of the most well-tolerated professional peeling agents for a broad range of skin types — making the Hydraglow Peel an accessible and rewarding professional treatment for skin types that may not be suited to more aggressive peeling formulations.
The peptide component of the Hydraglow Peel formulation adds a sophisticated and clinically meaningful dimension to the treatment that elevates it well beyond a simple exfoliating peel. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messenger molecules within the skin — communicating with the cells responsible for collagen production, repair and regeneration to upregulate their activity and support a more resilient, firm and youthful skin structure over time.
The inclusion of peptides in the Hydraglow Peel formulation means that the treatment is not simply removing old skin — it is actively supporting the production of new, healthier and more structurally resilient skin from within. This dual action of exfoliation and cellular support is what gives the Hydraglow Peel its unique ability to deliver results that continue to develop and improve in the days and weeks following treatment — long after the immediate brightening and hydrating effects have been enjoyed.
The Hydraglow Peel is a highly versatile and broadly suitable professional treatment that can effectively address a wide range of skin concerns including dull and lacklustre complexion, dehydrated and devitalised skin, uneven skin tone and superficial pigmentation, fine lines and early signs of skin ageing, rough and uneven skin texture, mild sun damage, enlarged pores and mild congestion, loss of skin radiance and overall glow, skin that feels tired and in need of genuine revitalisation and general skin quality improvement and maintenance. It is suitable for a broad range of skin types and represents an outstanding choice for those seeking a professional peel that delivers real and visible results while remaining gentle, hydrating and comfortable throughout.
Your Hydraglow Peel at Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic begins with a thorough skin consultation and assessment — allowing your registered nurse to evaluate your skin type, condition and concerns and confirm your suitability for treatment. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared before your complimentary LED light therapy session is performed — using clinically proven wavelengths of light to calm and prepare the skin, support barrier function and prime the skin to respond most effectively to the peel treatment that follows.
Following your LED preparation, the Hydraglow Peel solution is carefully and precisely applied to the treatment area by your registered nurse. During the treatment you may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation as the lactic acid works on the skin surface — a normal and well-tolerated response that reflects the peel’s active ingredients at work and typically resolves quickly during the treatment.
Your registered nurse will monitor your skin’s response carefully throughout the treatment and ensure the peel is applied and managed with precision and care. Following removal of the peel solution, appropriate post treatment products will be applied to nourish, soothe and support the skin as it begins its renewal process.
The Hydraglow Peel is a light to superficial depth treatment and most people experience minimal to no downtime following their appointment. Some clients notice mild sensitivity, a subtle glow or very light flaking in the day or two following treatment as the skin completes its renewal process — all of which are normal and positive responses that reflect the peel working as intended. The majority of clients are able to return to their normal activities immediately following their appointment. Sun protection is essential following treatment and your registered nurse will provide comprehensive aftercare guidance before you leave.
A course of Hydraglow Peel treatments — typically spaced three to four weeks apart — is recommended for optimal and progressive results, with improvement in skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance building cumulatively with each session.
1. Skin Consultation and Assessment

We take the time to understand your skin health goals and ensure your treatment is precisely tailored to deliver the most beneficial and appropriate result for your individual skin.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Based on your skin assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed — recommending the appropriate treatment frequency, number of sessions and any complementary treatments or medical-grade skincare that would further support and enhance your Hydraglow Peel results. Your registered nurse will advise on the most appropriate treatment schedule and any preparatory or post treatment skincare that will best support your outcome.
3. Professional Hydraglow Peel Treatment
Your Hydraglow Peel is performed with precision and genuine care by your registered nurse — beginning with your complimentary LED light therapy session to prepare and support the skin, followed by the precise and carefully monitored application of the Hydraglow Peel solution. Every element of your treatment is thoughtfully managed to ensure your comfort, safety and the best possible result for your individual skin.
4. Ongoing Skin Health Support
At the conclusion of your treatment your registered nurse will provide comprehensive aftercare guidance and personalised post treatment skincare recommendations — ensuring you have everything you need to support your skin’s renewal and extend your results at home. Where a medical-grade skincare program would further benefit your skin health and complement your peel results, your registered nurse will discuss the most appropriate options for your individual skin.
