Founder, chemist and formulator Sean Abel revealed Derma Energy's new signature professional treatment, The 4 Pillar Process, during an exclusive full-day professional training event.

The treatment is a revolutionary hybrid that sits at the intersection of facial therapy and clinical peeling. Designed as an ongoing system of homecare and in-clinic treatments, the 4 Pillar Process is built to maximise long-term skin health rather than chase short-term correction.

Developed from Abel's proprietary equation to skin health, the treatment introduces a Skin Health Peel uniquely formulated to be used even on skin with a compromised barrier.

A New Peel Philosophy

At the core of the process is a dual-step approach utilising Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), next-generation exfoliating acids known for their gentleness, hydrating capacity and barrier compatibility.

Unlike traditional peels, this formulation is followed by the application of skin-mimetic carrier oils, allowing the peel to be massaged into the skin. Once applied, these oils help seal micro-fissures within the stratum corneum while enhancing active delivery, creating a world-first in professional peeling protocols.

The Four Senses

The 45-minute treatment is designed as a four-sensory experience, addressing both skin physiology and the nervous system.

Sense One: Touch Prolonged therapist contact fosters safety, care and trust.
Sense Two: Smell A bespoke Derma Energy signature fragrance within the skin-mimetic massage oil enhances emotional grounding.
Sense Three: Interoception Gentle silicone facial tapping stimulates vagal tone, activating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote calm and regulation.
Sense Four: Sight Immediate visible improvements in hydration, luminosity and skin comfort result in a dewy, healthy complexion.
"The future of advanced skincare isn't about aggression. It's about working with skin biology, respecting the barrier, supporting repair, and recognising that true skin health is both physiological and neurological." Sean Abel, Founder of Derma Energy

The 4 Pillar Process positions Derma Energy at the forefront of a new category of professional treatments, where clinical results, sensory intelligence and skin respect converge.
