This is a revolutionary peeling treatment that strongly promotes collagen production in the dermis without exfoliating the skin surface.
It is also known as a “Collagen Peel” because it increases dermal collagen to improve firmness and elasticity.
Recommended for those who:
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Desire for firmness and radiance
- Concerned about skin dullness
- Concerned about acne or acne scars
- Concerned about pores
- Concerned about stretch marks
What is Massage Peel?
Massage Peel uses an Italian-made peeling agent called PRX-T33®, which contains 33% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), low-concentration hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid, which has a high whitening effect.
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) is a chemical peeling agent with a long history and provides high skin-beautifying effects by acting deep within the skin. However, because it has a strong exfoliating effect on the epidermis and carries a high risk of post-treatment pain, downtime, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it has been used for partial treatments in Japan but not as a general skin-beautifying treatment.
Massage Peel is a revolutionary peeling treatment that combines TCA (trichloroacetic acid) with hydrogen peroxide to strongly stimulate collagen production in the dermis and restore lost firmness and elasticity without exfoliating the surface. Furthermore, it contains kojic acid, which suppresses the activity of tyrosinase—the cause of spots and dullness—so improvements in whitening and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can also be expected.
Additionally, the synergistic effect of combining it with Dermapen 4 brings you closer to smoother, more beautiful “velvet skin.”

Three Key Ingredients in Massage Peel
33% TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid)
TCA (trichloroacetic acid) acts deep within the skin to promote the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, accelerate skin turnover, and restore the barrier function (biorevitalization).
By incorporating hydrogen peroxide, excessive reactions on the skin surface are suppressed, allowing for the stimulation of collagen production in the dermis without exfoliating the skin surface, resulting in firm, elastic, and youthful skin.
Low-Concentration Hydrogen Peroxide
Low-concentration hydrogen peroxide quickly penetrates tissues and protects the epidermis from TCA (trichloroacetic acid). It also enhances the collagen-producing effects of TCA in the dermis and promotes wound healing by improving blood flow.
5% Kojic Acid
Kojic acid suppresses the activation of tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin responsible for spots and dullness. Therefore, it is effective for spots, dullness, melasma, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

Home Care to Enhance Massage Peel Effects
＜WiQo Fluido Levigante 30ml＞
Contains 8% glycolic acid in a well-balanced formula for the skin.
Despite its low pH of approximately 3, it can be used without experiencing a burning sensation. After a Massage Peel, keeping the skin in a low pH (acidic) state promotes the skin’s regeneration process, making it possible to sustain collagen production for a long period.
＜WiQo Nourishing Moisturizing Cream＞
A cream with high moisturizing power. It works to restore the hydrolipidic film of skin that has lost firmness or has been affected by aging and external factors (cold, wind, UV rays, etc.). By restoring the hydrolipidic film after a Massage Peel, it repairs the natural skin barrier and prevents the evaporation of moisture from the skin, which can cause issues. It contains shea butter to soothe and protect the skin.
