Zena Green Algae Peel
An acid-free, natural bio-microneedling treatment that renews the skin from within, using microscopic freshwater algae spicules.
Bio-microneedling, without a single needle
The Zena Algae Peel works as an acid-free, natural bio-microneedling treatment that uses microscopic freshwater algae spicules to stimulate collagen production, clear acne and fade hyperpigmentation. Instead of harsh chemical acids, the treatment relies on naturally occurring micro-spicules to encourage the skin to renew itself.
Three stages, one treatment
Micro-Spicules
The peel uses natural, needle-like microparticles from freshwater algae (Spongilla) instead of chemical acids.
Bio-Microneedling
Massaged into the face, these microscopic spicules create tiny channels in the skin, triggering deep cellular renewal and circulation from within.
Nutrient Infusion
As the spicules penetrate, they carry vitamins and minerals directly into the epidermis for an added restorative boost.
