What Is Uber Peel? A Peeling Agent Designed Exclusively for Dermapen Skin Treatment
Uber Peel is a peeling agent designed to help address skin concerns such as open pores and clogged pores. It was developed as a solution used exclusively with Dermapen Microneedling, a type of skin beautification treatment.
Its formulation includes over 10 ingredients — such as mandelic acid and lactic acid — known for their exfoliating properties. Applied immediately after a Dermapen session, the active ingredients are able to penetrate into the epidermis.
Because it uses a low-irritation formula that targets the epidermis, Uber Peel is associated with relatively short downtime and minimal discomfort during treatment.
What Is Dermapen Microneedling? A Pen-Type Medical Device for Skin Quality Improvement
Dermapen Microneedling is a pen-shaped aesthetic medical device used to help improve skin quality. It is primarily used for improving the appearance of acne scars and fine lines.
During treatment, fine needles at the tip of the device create tiny micro-channels in the skin, activating the skin’s natural repair process. As the skin heals, collagen is produced — which is how the treatment may contribute to skin quality improvement.
The depth of the needles in Dermapen can be precisely adjusted in fine increments. When used together with Uber Peel, a depth of 0.2–0.5 mm is set to target the superficial layers of the skin.

Uber Peel Ingredients | Over 10 Components Including Hyaluronic Acid and Mandelic Acid
Uber Peel contains over 10 active ingredients, including mandelic acid and lactic acid, which help support skin renewal.
The key ingredients and their primary actions are as follows:

| Hyaluronic Acid (5%) |
Helps maintain moisture and support skin elasticity |
| Niacinamide (5%) |
Helps suppress melanin production and collagen decline |
The combination of these ingredients allows Uber Peel to deliver a multi-faceted approach to skin care.
3 Expected Benefits of Uber Peel
Uber Peel treatment may offer the following benefits:
- Improvement of pigmented spots, melasma & hyperpigmentation
- Treatment of acne & acne scars
- Pore tightening & clogged pore improvement
Uber Peel is suited to a wide range of skin concerns, including acne and open pores. Combined with Dermapen’s skin repair action, it aims to support overall skin quality improvement.
Below, we explain each benefit in more detail.
Benefit ① Improvement of Pigmented Spots, Melasma & Hyperpigmentation
Uber Peel may help improve the appearance of pigmented spots and melasma.
The underlying cause of these concerns is melanin pigment in the epidermis. Under normal circumstances, melanin is shed along with dead skin cells; however, when the skin’s turnover cycle is disrupted, it can accumulate and cause hyperpigmentation.
Uber Peel works to help normalise the skin’s turnover cycle and remove old skin cells. With repeated sessions, excess melanin pigment may gradually be expelled from the skin.
Benefit ② Treatment of Acne & Acne Scars
Uber Peel may help improve the appearance of acne and acne scars.
One contributing factor to acne is excess sebum production. When the skin’s turnover cycle is disrupted and sebum cannot be properly expelled, it can promote the growth of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), a bacterium associated with acne.
What is commonly referred to as “red acne” is the result of pore inflammation caused by this bacterium.
The key ingredient in Uber Peel, mandelic acid, has anti-inflammatory properties that may help address red acne as well as post-acne redness.
Benefit ③ Pore Tightening & Clogged Pore Improvement
Uber Peel may help improve the appearance of enlarged and clogged pores.
Visible pores and blackheads are primarily caused by overdeveloped sebaceous glands. Excess sebum produced with age mixes with dead skin cells and becomes trapped in the pores.
If left untreated, the trapped material oxidises and darkens, making pores more noticeable — so early attention is advisable.
Uber Peel’s exfoliating action may help clear clogged pores and support the tightening of enlarged pores.
Advantages of Uber Peel | Minimal Discomfort and Shorter Downtime
One of the advantages of Uber Peel is its relatively short downtime. While individual results vary, redness and swelling typically subside within approximately 2–3 days.
Dermapen, which is used in combination with Uber Peel, allows needle depth to be adjusted in 0.1 mm increments. Because the peeling agent is delivered precisely to the targeted area, unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin is minimised.
Additionally, the device delivers needles uniformly using mechanical precision, which helps reduce discomfort during the procedure.
If you are concerned about downtime or discomfort, Uber Peel may be worth considering as a skin beautification option.
Disadvantages of Uber Peel | Contraindicated for Those with Metal Allergies
A limitation of Uber Peel is that treatment may not be possible for individuals with certain allergies or medical conditions.
As a general rule, treatment is not available for those who:
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or may be pregnant
- Have severe diabetes or connective tissue disorders
- Have a metal allergy
- Have conditions such as herpes simplex in the treatment area
- Have open wounds or significant inflammation in the treatment area
In addition, anyone with a history of skin conditions or other relevant medical history should consult a physician before treatment.
Uber Peel Treatment Process
An Uber Peel session generally follows the steps below:
- Consultation & Examination
A physician will assess the condition of your skin and discuss your concerns. - Anaesthesia
Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left for approximately 30 minutes. - Treatment
Dermapen is used to create micro-channels in the skin, after which Uber Peel is applied across the entire face. - Aftercare
The skin is cooled to reduce irritation, and a soothing cream is applied as needed.
The estimated treatment time is approximately one hour. Because Uber Peel places relatively little burden on the skin, the procedure can be completed in a short time.
Post-Treatment Recovery & Aftercare for Uber Peel
Some redness and swelling may occur for 2–3 days following an Uber Peel session.
The table below summarises recommended aftercare guidelines:
| Cleansing & Makeup | Avoid cleansing the face or applying makeup for 6 hours after treatment. |
|---|---|
| Bathing | Avoid soaking in a bath on the day of treatment; showering only is recommended. |
| Concurrent Medications | Acne medications containing adapalene (Differin Gel) or benzoyl peroxide should not be used for 1 week after treatment. |
| Skincare Products | Skincare products containing tretinoin or hydroquinone should not be used for 2 weeks after treatment. |
Downtime may vary depending on needle depth and individual skin type. Please follow your physician’s instructions, and seek medical attention promptly if you notice any unusual symptoms.
Number and Frequency of Sessions Needed to Notice Results
Generally, around 3–5 sessions are needed before noticeable results can be expected from Uber Peel.
Sessions are typically scheduled once every 2–4 weeks. While some individuals may notice changes after a single session, multiple treatments are important for enhancing the overall effect.
Even after visible improvement has been achieved, we recommend maintenance sessions every few months to help sustain results.
How Uber Peel Differs from Other Skin Beautification Treatments
There are several types of peeling treatments that involve applying a solution to the skin. Uber Peel is one option among them.
The table below compares the main peeling treatments available:
| Uber Peel | Massage Peel | Velvet Skin | Retinol Peeling | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How It Works | Targets the epidermis with a low-irritation peeling agent | The peeling agent is massaged into the skin to reach the dermis | Combines Dermapen and Massage Peel to target the dermis | A retinoic acid-based agent targets the dermis |
| Agent Used | Uber PRO | PRX-T33 | PRX-T33 | Yellow Peel |
| Key Ingredients | ・Mandelic acid ・Lactic acid ・Resorcinol |
・Trichloroacetic acid ・Hydrogen peroxide ・Kojic acid |
・Trichloroacetic acid ・Hydrogen peroxide ・Kojic acid |
・Retinol derivative ・Zinc ・Hyaluronic acid |
| Features | Epidermal approach with notable skin-brightening action | Shorter treatment time with less skin burden | Helps improve skin firmness and radiance | Treatment with reduced redness and discomfort |
Since Uber Peel targets the epidermis, it may be particularly suited to those seeking a skin-brightening effect.

Massage Peel (Collagen Peel) | Shorter Treatment Time with Less Skin Burden
Massage Peel is a treatment in which a peeling agent called PRX-T33 is massaged into the skin.
Its key ingredient, trichloroacetic acid, acts on fibroblasts in the dermis and may help stimulate collagen production.
The treatment takes approximately 15 minutes. As makeup can be applied immediately after the session, this treatment may be a practical option even for those with busy work or home schedules.

What Is Collagen Peel (Massage Peel)? 5 Expected Benefits and the Risks of Self-Treatment Explained
Velvet Skin | Helps Improve Skin Firmness and Radiance
Velvet Skin is a treatment that combines Dermapen Microneedling with Massage Peel.
Using Dermapen alongside the application allows the active ingredients in PRX-T33 to penetrate more readily. This approach targets the deeper dermal layer, more strongly promoting skin quality improvement.
Treatment time is approximately one hour. For those looking to improve skin firmness and radiance, Velvet Skin may be worth considering.
Retinol Peeling | Treatment with Reduced Redness and Discomfort
Retinol Peeling is a treatment in which a retinoic acid-based agent is applied to the skin.
Retinoic acid helps remove dead skin cells and may also support collagen production.
While retinoic acid can have strong side effects in its pure form, Retinol Peeling uses a precursor compound — a retinol derivative — to help reduce skin irritation while still delivering its beneficial effects.
Among peeling treatments, Retinol Peeling is characterised by relatively less redness and discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions about Uber Peel
Below, we have compiled answers to common questions about Uber Peel.
Before undergoing any treatment, it is important to address any concerns you may have as fully as possible.
Q. Can Uber Peel be applied to the back?
Yes, Uber Peel can be applied to the back to address concerns such as acne scars.
The back has a high density of sebaceous glands, making it an area where C. acnes can multiply readily. Because the back is difficult to see, acne symptoms in this area can worsen without being noticed.
The key ingredients in Uber Peel may help reduce acne-related inflammation. In addition to the back, it may also be suitable for acne on the chest and buttocks.
Q. Can I purchase Uber Peel through personal import?
Due to the significant potential for health risks, we strongly recommend consulting a clinic rather than attempting to obtain Uber Peel through personal import.
Purchasing pharmaceutical products online via personal import carries the following risks:
- The product may have been manufactured or transported under inappropriate conditions.
- Adequate support may not be available if complications arise.
- There may be no reliable verification of ingredients or efficacy.
For these reasons, personal importation of pharmaceutical products may pose serious health risks. We strongly advise against use by anyone other than licensed medical professionals.
