To Peel or not to Peel

Introducing the new Dermalogica Pro Power Peel.

The words Skin Peel sound terrifying and painful, however, stripping away years of skin damage, wrinkles, acne scaring and hyperpigmentation in a none invasive way is universally appealing and that’s why skin peels have become globally popular.
But they are a ‘not one size fits all’ treatment, for the best results, a peel should be strong enough to address the concerns and accelerate cell turnover but not too powerful to induce severe skin inflammation.

Everyone is different, so your peel should be customised for you to achieve your healthiest looking skin.

So why should we peel?

Are you concerned about your skin Aging?
Do you have Breakouts, Acne Scaring, Pigmentation?
or all of the above?
Then a skin peel may be of interest to you.

Chemical peels are an excellent treatment to address a wide range of skin concerns, despite varying uses and ingredients most peels work the same way: they remove the skin’s outermost layers to stimulate cell renewal to improve texture and appearance.

Peels are classified into four categories:

1. Very superficial – exfoliation to the top layers treating acne hyperpigmentation and ageing
2. Superficial – exfoliation throughout the epidermal layer to treat signs of ageing, acne and hyperpigmentation
3. Medium depth peels – medically performed reaching the upper layers of the dermis, treating superficial scaring solar keratosis ageing and hyperpigmentation. Sever inflammation and down time for recovery
4. Deep peels – medically performed to reach the reticular dermis to address photo ageing deep wrinkles and scares. Sever inflammation and down time for recovery

I am going to explain the benefits of a superficial peel, no.2. which is less invasive, no down time to recover and can be performed regularly which is crucial to accelerate cell renewal and turnover.

Dermalogica Pro Power Peel is a Superficial Skin Peel which can be customised to target your skin concerns.

First of all you will need a consultation and skin tolerance test.

Your Skin preparation comes next as it minimises side effects and is vital for success of the peel, skin is hydration is key and the use of products which accelerate cell renewal, such as Rapid Reveal Peel will prepare the skin.

You will need to stop using advanced formulas like Retinol 48 hours before.

Pro Power Peel can be adapted for YOU with 3 specialised blends which can be
selected and adaptable for your skin sensitivity and treat 2 or 3 concerns at once.

Advanced Renewal Peel is formulated with 30% Glycolic Acid which is fast acting, it’s small molecular size penetrates quickly and dissolves the intercellular glue that hols the cells on, this may not be suitable for those with sensitivity. However when it is combined with Phytic Acid and Prickly Pear it minimises the appearance of ageing, pigmentation and improves skin luminosity.

Ultrabright Peel is formulated with 30% Lactic Acid which is less irritating due to its larger molecular size which penetrates more slowly, releasing hydration with less irritation. Combined with Phytic Acid and enzymes and fruit extracts it minimises signs of ageing, pigmentation and hydrates the skin.

Powerclear Peel is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid which is oil soluble and can penetrate oily skin’s making it the best option for treating Acne and breakout prone skin’s. When combined with BHA and AHA of Mandelic Acid 10% and Malic Acid 15% which both have a large molecular structure it comes suitable for sensitivity and for the treatment of mild Rosacea. Powerclear Peel also contains TT complex which targets blemishes and visibly diminishes post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
