Introduction to pHformula Treatments and Products
SKIN SENSITIVITY TEST
TREATMENT DESCRIPTION
The pHformula skin sensitivity test, using the S.P. Complex, is a unique skin response treatment to assess your skin sensitivity levels and is the perfect guide to assess and prepare your skin for optimum results. Knowing your skin sensitivity levels will guide us in prescribing the correct skin resurfacing protocol and will help to guarantee a positive treatment outcome.
RESURFACING
Different protocols can be combined in a prescription program and the strength and depth of the products are controlled by your Skin Specialist, based on application technique and the number of layers applied during the skin resurfacing procedure.
HOMECARE
A personalized prescription is integrated and used at home in preparation or after completion of the pHformula resurfacing procedure and for maintenance thereafter.
pHformula CORE RESURFACING TREATMENTS
A.C. Resurfacing Treatments (ACNE)
Take control of chronic breakouts, excess sebum, and enlarged pores with specialized, antimicrobial solutions. By penetrating deep into the follicles, they actively reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm severe inflammation to restore a smooth, clear, and perfectly balanced complexion.
A.G.E. Resurfacing Treatments (AGING)
Turn back the clock with advanced, medical-grade skin resurfacing treatments designed to reverse fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Working from the inside out, these innovative protocols drive powerful active ingredients deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen and fade dark spots with minimal irritation and zero social downtime.
C.R. Resurfacing Treatments (CHRONIC REDNESS)
Soothe and restore skin prone to chronic redness, inflammation, rosacea, and barrier damage with these ultra-gentle protocols. Engineered with potent anti-inflammatory actives, they instantly reduce flushing, repair your natural skin barrier, and build long-term tolerance.
M.E.L.A. Resurfacing Treatments (HYPERPIGMENTATION)
Target stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone at the cellular source with these powerful brightening treatments. Their masterfully blended actives quickly inhibit melanin production and clear away dark patches, leaving you with a luminous, beautifully balanced complexion without aggressive peeling.

pHformula Advanced and Specialised Treatments
Exosomes Resurfacing Treatment
An advanced regenerative therapy using the EXOS biomimetic concentrate and PDRN active cubes to speed up skin repair, healing, and absolute cellular revitalization.
Meso-Resurfacing Booster Treatment (Spicules)
MESORESURFACING™ concentrate is a next-generation professional booster that delivers micro-needling-like results without invasive tools. Powered by purified hydrolyzed spicules and five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, it enhances transdermal delivery while promoting controlled skin resurfacing.
This intelligent formula creates microchannels in the skin to boost cell turnover, oxygenation, and absorption of active ingredients, leading to smoother texture, deeper hydration, and visible rejuvenation. By stimulating natural renewal and structural repair, MESORESURFACING™ concentrate helps restore firmness, clarity, and radiance with minimal downtime.
TCA Touch™ Resurfacing Treatment
A controlled, premium resurfacing treatment featuring a 12% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) concentration. It provides intense skin remodeling and rapid cell renewal with enhanced patient comfort compared to traditional chemical peels.
Per treatment: from R1 025 to R2 750 each
PROTONPEN Micro-needling / Nano-needling Resurfacing
Micro-needling
This protocol utilizes medical-grade micro-needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin (Collagen Induction Therapy). It triggers the body’s natural healing response to dramatically boost collagen and elastin production while preserving epidermal integrity.
Best for: Deep scars, acne scarring, stretch marks, skin laxity (sagging), thinning skin, and deep wrinkles.
How it works: Your Skin Specialist uses the PROTONPEN Micro-needling Protocol alongside concentrated pHformula sterile solutions (like VITA A for wrinkles or VITA C for structural support) to activate cellular metabolismm refine pores, and lift the skin.
Nano-needling
This is a non-invasive, gentler alternative that uses microscopic silicone hair-like cones instead of traditional needles. It works perfectly on delicate or highly sensitive areas where standard micro-needling might be too aggressive.
Best for: Delicate eye and lip contours, uneven skin texture, early loss of elasticity, dullness, and hyperpigmentation.
How it works: The PROTONPEN Nano-needling Protocol provides an instant, radiant glow by maximizing nutrient release and infusing corrective solutions (such as HA for volume loss or VITA B3 for brightening) into the skin with minimal to zero downtime.
Per treatment: from R1 025 to R1 950
pHixel Glow Resurfacing Treatment
A premium hybrid protocol that pairs the PROTONPEN with an alpha amino acid solution (rich in arginine) and dermabrasion. This treatment is highly sought after for anyone seeking a “red-carpet” immediate skin plumping, smoothing, and intense hydration boost without standard post-needling redness.
Per treatment: from R1 400 to R2 750
