How Does DÉCAAR Algae Peel Work?
DÉCAAR Algae Peel uses microscopic sponge-derived spicules to stimulate the skin through physical exfoliation rather than relying primarily on traditional chemical peeling acids. The treatment encourages the shedding of surface skin cells, helping improve skin texture and overall appearance.
01
Application of Bio-Spicules
Microscopic Sponge-Derived Structures
The DÉCAAR formulation is massaged into the skin, allowing microscopic spicules to interact with the upper skin layers. A prickling or tingling sensation may occur during application.
02
Skin Stimulation
Supporting Natural Renewal
The spicules create a localized physical stimulus that supports the skin’s natural exfoliation and renewal processes. Temporary redness, warmth, or sensitivity may occur.
03
Surface Exfoliation
Shedding Accumulated Skin Cells
Over the following days, treated skin may become dry, tight, or flaky as surface cells shed. The amount of visible peeling varies between individuals.
04
Smoother-Looking Skin
Gradual Texture & Tone Improvement
As the skin recovers, its surface may appear smoother and more refreshed. Improvements in uneven texture and post-acne marks may require multiple treatments.
Treatment Suitability
Who Is a Good Candidate for DÉCAAR Algae Peel?
DÉCAAR Algae Peel may be suitable for individuals seeking to improve uneven skin texture, dullness, and post-acne marks. Your provider will assess your skin condition, sensitivity, and treatment history to determine whether this exfoliation treatment is appropriate for you.

Treatment Clarification
DÉCAAR Algae Peel vs. Traditional Chemical Peels
Both treatments exfoliate the skin but use different approaches. Compare how DÉCAAR Algae Peel and traditional chemical peels work, what concerns they may address, and what to expect during recovery.
| Treatment Feature | DÉCAAR Algae Peel | Traditional Chemical Peels |
|---|---|---|
| How It Works | Uses algae-derived microfibres and a specialized peeling solution to promote exfoliation and skin renewal. | Uses exfoliating acids to loosen and remove dead skin cells. |
| Key Ingredients | Algae, botanical extracts, and complementary ingredients within the DÉCAAR treatment system. | AHAs, BHAs, TCA, or other exfoliating acids, depending on the formulation. |
| Skin Concerns | May help improve acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, rough texture, uneven tone, and post-acne marks. | May address acne, pigmentation, fine lines, uneven texture, and sun damage, depending on peel strength. |
| Treatment Sensation | Prickling, tingling, warmth, or temporary sensitivity may occur during and after treatment. | Tingling, warmth, or stinging may occur depending on the acid type and strength. |
| Peeling & Downtime | Redness, tightness, sensitivity, and visible flaking may develop over the following days. | Superficial peels may involve minimal downtime; medium and deep peels require longer recovery. |
| Skin Tone Suitability | May be suitable for various skin tones following professional assessment. Pigmentation changes remain a potential risk. | Options are available for different skin tones, with careful selection needed for pigmentation-prone skin. |
| Treatment Frequency | A series may be recommended based on skin concerns, tolerance, and recovery. | Frequency varies depending on peel depth, formulation, and treatment goals. |
Neither treatment is universally better. The most appropriate exfoliation method depends on your skin type, concerns, sensitivity, and treatment goals. Your provider can help determine which approach is suitable for your skin.

Part 01
5–7 Days PriorPreparing for Treatment

02
Avoid Waxing & Recent Skin Procedures
Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, and other hair removal treatments on the treatment area for 5–7 days before your appointment. Tell your provider about recent laser treatments, microneedling, or other resurfacing procedures, as additional recovery time may be needed.
03
Protect Your Skin From Sun Exposure
Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before your appointment. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Treatment should be postponed if your skin is sunburned, irritated, or compromised.
04
Disclose Recent Injectables & Medications

Not Sure If Algae Peel Is Right for You?
Our aesthetic team can assess your skin concerns, explain the treatment process, and help determine whether DÉCAAR Algae Peel is suitable for your skin.
Contact Our ClinicDÉCAAR Algae Peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses microscopic sponge-derived spicules to stimulate the skin and support natural exfoliation. Unlike traditional chemical peels, which primarily rely on exfoliating acids, DÉCAAR uses physical stimulation to encourage the shedding of surface skin cells. The treatment may help improve the appearance of uneven texture, dullness, and post-acne marks.
During treatment, you may experience a prickling, tingling, or warming sensation as the formulation is massaged into your skin. Temporary sensitivity may continue afterward, particularly when touching or cleansing the treated area. Sensations vary depending on individual skin sensitivity.
Allow approximately 3–7 days for initial recovery. Redness, dryness, tightness, sensitivity, and visible flaking or peeling may occur. Peeling often becomes more noticeable several days after treatment. Recovery varies, and some individuals may need longer.
DÉCAAR Algae Peel may be suitable for a range of skin tones, including darker complexions, following an individual skin assessment. However, irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are possible with exfoliating treatments. Your provider will assess your skin type, pigmentation history, and suitability before recommending treatment.
DÉCAAR Algae Peel should not automatically be considered safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, inform your provider before booking. Treatment should proceed only when your healthcare professional has reviewed the ingredients and confirmed suitability.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns, treatment goals, and individual response. Some people may notice improvements in skin texture and dullness after one session, while concerns such as uneven pigmentation or post-acne marks may require multiple treatments. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment course and intervals.
A 1-hour DÉCAAR Algae Peel treatment costs $350 CAD at Parsa Wellness Clinic. It is available at our North Vancouver location. See the treatment pricing section for the listed per-session rate.
DÉCAAR Algae Peel may help improve the appearance of superficial post-acne marks, uneven skin tone, and rough texture. However, post-acne discoloration differs from depressed or raised acne scars, which may require other treatments. Persistent pigmentation conditions, including melasma, also require careful assessment because irritation can worsen discoloration. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment based on your skin concerns.
Avoid picking or scrubbing peeling skin, using exfoliating acids or retinoids, and exposing your skin to excessive heat during recovery. Follow your provider’s instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher as directed, and avoid additional exfoliating treatments until your skin has recovered.
