Lamelle

A typical Lamelle professional peel appointment at Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic takes between 30 to 45 minutes. The “active” time the peel solution remains on your skin is usually only 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the specific peel (such as Beta Peel or Lacti-Firm) and your skin’s sensitivity. This makes it an ideal “lunchtime” treatment with significant results in a short timeframe.

Post-peel care is essential to ensure your skin heals beautifully. We recommend:

• Hydration: Use a barrier-repairing moisturizer like Lamelle Barrier Cream to soothe tightness.

• Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, such as Helase SPF 50 as your skin will be more sun-sensitive.

• Grit your teeth: If your skin begins to flake, do not pick or peel it. Let it shed naturally to avoid scarring or pigmentation.

• Gentle Cleansing: Avoid active ingredients like Retinol or Alpha Hydroxy Acids for 3–5 days, sticking to a gentle cleanser.

Lamelle is a proudly South African brand that sits at the intersection of medical science and beauty. They use highly active ingredients—like Growth Factors and proprietary peptides—that work at a cellular level to “talk” to your skin cells, instructing them to repair damage and produce more collagen.

The Lamelle Luminesce range is specifically formulated to treat hyperpigmentation and melasma. It is unique because it targets the pigmentation process at multiple stages without using harsh bleaching agents, making it safe for long-term use and all skin types.

Yes, the Lamelle Clarity range is highly effective for problematic skin. Unlike many acne products that strip the skin, Clarity focuses on reducing inflammation and clearing pores while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance.

Just like our other professional services, at Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic we perform a detailed skin analysis before a Lamelle treatment. This ensures we choose the correct peel strength—whether it’s the Lacti-Firm for glowing and firming or the Beta Peel for congestion and breakouts.

Not always! While “peel” is in the name, modern Lamelle treatments often result in “micro-flaking” rather than large sheets of skin coming off. Your skin is still regenerating at an accelerated rate even if you don’t see visible peeling.

The Lamelle Serra range was created specifically for lipid-impaired, dry, and sensitive skin. It mimics the skin’s natural barrier to “trap” moisture in and keep irritants out. It is often our go-to recommendation for clients struggling with eczema or rosacea.

For texture and “glow,” you will see a difference within 2 to 7 days post-treatment. For deeper concerns like sun damage or fine lines, we generally recommend a course of 4 to 6 treatments to see transformative results.

While many Lamelle products (like the Serra range) are safe, we recommend avoiding the Clarity range (due to Salicylic Acid) and Retistore treatments during pregnancy. Always consult with our therapists for a pregnancy-safe alternative like the Lamelle Centar Gel.

Growth Factors are specialized proteins found in the Dermaheal range. They act as “messengers” that trigger your skin’s natural repair process, making them the gold standard for anti-aging and healing damaged skin.

No, Lamelle Research Laboratories is committed to cruelty-free practices and does not test its products on animals.

Yes, Lamelle treatments pair beautifully with Microneedling or Microdermabrasion to enhance results. Your therapist will create a staggered plan to ensure your skin is not over-processed.

Lamelle contains highly active, medical-grade ingredients. Buying from Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic ensures you receive a product that is genuine and, more importantly, correctly prescribed for your specific skin barrier health to avoid adverse reactions.

A home exfoliant works on the surface to remove dead cells. A professional Lamelle chemical peel has a lower pH and higher concentration, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the dermis to stimulate new cell growth and collagen production from the inside out.
