SKIN EXFOLIATION AND RESURFACING





Skin peeling and micro dermabrasion are both resurfacing procedures that exfoliate the skin, when choosing the ideal methods for you. you need to consider depth of penetration rather then method. Supercal peels and microdermabrasion work to rene and exfoliate the epiderimis - the rst layer stratum corneum. 

Medium peels work at the epidermal/dermal junction. Whilst deep peels work on the dermis as well. Deep peels should be performed by a certied, experienced surgeon. As opposed to supercial and medium peels, which are often repeated to enhance or maintain results, deep peel is performed once. The deeper the peel, the greater is the potential for both cosmetic improvement and side eects.




SUPERFICIAL PEELS AND MICRODERMABRASION

Supercial peels are the mildest of the chemical peels and are mainly used to improve skin texture and reduce roughness. They mainly remove stratum coneum (dead skin surface cells) and sometimes the upper epidermis.
Supercial peels are generally repeated at regular intervals to maintain results. Improvements with supercial peels are usually short-lived.
- hence supercial peels are often used repeatedly. Some people get cumulative improvement with repeated supercial peels; others simply maintain initial improvement; yet others see little or no improvement.

Supercial peels require no downtime but it is common to have a brief period of redness, aking and/or skin sensitivity after a peel.

The most common agents used for supercial peels are alpha hydroxy acids (e.g. glycolic acid, lactic acid) and beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid). Sometimes additional bleeching agents (e.g. hydroquinone, kojic acid) or other modiers are added to customize the effects.




MEDIUM PEEL

Medium peels impact the epidermis and upper dermis. The damage caused by the peeling agent induces a healing response and leads to a mild-to-moderate skin remodeling. As a result, medium chemical peel usually improves not only skin texture, but also ne lines and small wrinkles. Deeper wrinkles remain mostly unaffected. Blemishes and discolorations may also improve. Medium peels may needed to be repeated two or more times to obtain the desired result. They would usually be spaced out over several months.

The most common agent for medium peels is trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It is a medium-strength acid, which produces damage by breaking up connections between cells, denaturing proteins in cells and skin matrix and so forth. After TCA treatment the skin surface becomes crusty and mild-to-moderate swelling would generally develop. You will need about 7-10 days of downtime to heal sufficiently to return to work and other normal activities. It is best to avoid sun exposure or at least use heavy UVA+UVB protection for at least a few more weeks. The improvements after medium peel are more lasting compared to supercial peel but fall short of the results delivered by deep peels.



DEEP PEEL

Deep peels affect both epidermis and dermis and are both more eective and more risky than supercial or medium peels. It is mainly used to improve medium-to-deep wrinkles, severe skin roughness and other advanced signs of skin aging. The most common agent used in deep peels is phenol, which produces tissue necrosis by denaturing biological polymers.

While phenol peel produces greater and longer-lasting results, it is far less common than medium or supercial peel. One reason is that phenol peel requires 2-4 weeks of downtime during which a rather uncomfortable healing process takes place. (After all, like ablative resurfacing, phenol peel creates a large open wound.) Second, there is a substantial risk of both short- and long-term side effects. (Short term: infection, edema; long-term: loss of pigmentation, sun sensitivity, scarring.) In fact, pigmentation changes after a phenol peel (and, incidentally, after ablative laser too) are so common that dark skin color is considered a contraindication.



COSTS

To be specific, supercial peels range between $100 and $300 each; medium peels range between $1000 and $2,000 each; while a deep peel starts at about $2,500 but may run as high as $5000 or more, depending on the costs of anesthesia, medication, postoperative care, and so forth.





Medium Strength Para-medical Peel - How does it work?


This is a medically developed skin regeneration treatment, proven as a highly safe and successful method of non-surgical procedure. It increases the blood circulation of the skin and causes the upper layers of the skin to peel off, exposing new skin accelerated by procedure. The stimulated blood circulation intensies metabolism and induces the regeneration of the skin by production of new cells and collagen fibres.

With what problems of the skin is it successfully used?
* Impure oily skin, disturbed pores
* Sagging face contours, wrinkled, sun-damaged skin
* Scars
* Open pores
* Dull Skin that lacks vitality
* Aging
* Aids Pigmentation
* Slack abdominal wall, thighs, upper arms
* Cellulite
* Aged hands (sagging wrinkled skin, spots) 4908875447

What's so special about this Treatment?
This is a medium level para-medical peeling treatment, which in normal terms means it is able to penetrate on the epidermal/dermal junction (supercial peels and micro dermabraion only works on the upper epidermis - they have their place but are a lower level peel). The success of the treatment can be compared to the results of chemical peelings, the abrasion of the skin, or lenghty application of Vitamin A Acid (Retin-A) preparation. Our specic compound is massaged into your skin at your skin-care salon.

The micro particles lightly polish the upper layers of skin (epidermis removal), other active ingredients in the preparation will
penetrate the skin where they will be absorbed by the cutis within 48 hours. They'll release valuable, active substances such as
vitamins, plant hormones, enzymes and other benecial ingredients into the skin, where they stimulate renewal, healing and new
cell growth formation. The upper layers become dry, lower layers are stimulated to ignite skin renewal and formation, the top layersbegin to shed and reveal new skin thus removing damaged top layers and expose new skin.

How does the skin look after the treatment?
After the treatment the skin is red and a burning sensation similar to mild sunburn will be experienced. Three to four days later the old skin comes o. Until then you can work normally and should not need to take time o. On the 4th or 5th day a follow up treatment takes place. The trained para-medical therapist will, if necessary massage away any old skin and use a rich active preparation on the new skin the complexion is considerably improved, fresh, clear and younger.

The SUPER BEAUTY TREATMENT is highly recommended. It is a special treatment using intensive active ingredients to tighten the skin, especially for those skins that need special care and it is unique to this treatment.
