SKIN Epidermal Peels
The epidermal peel solutions used at SKIN MediSpa are the most technically researched, results-oriented formulations available today and contain a unique blend of lactic acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid to improve acne, skin surface texture, superficial scarring and reduce oil plugs that cause blackheads. Other active ingredients are added depending on the specific peel procedure chosen, along with hydrating and nutrients in an aloe vera base. All formulations are free of dyes, colour additives, synthetic fragrances, comedogenic oils, waxes and other ingredients that are known to cause irritation or sensitivity.
SKIN medical aesthetic staff will recommend the specific peel that will provide optimal improvement for each client . All SKIN epidermal peels will eliminate the accumulated buildup of dead cells and debris on the surface of the skin, which will speed cell turnover and reduce acne as well as the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other imperfections in skin tone and texture. Your skin will be noticeably softer, smoother and clearer.
Rejuvenation Peel
This peel does not contain hydroquinone and is ideal for more sensitive and ethnic skin types. This peel will unclog pores, reduce breakouts and rejuvenate the skin. It is also an excellent choice for correcting pigment discolourations and maintaining a clearer skin tone in individuals with an allergy to hydroquinone. Mild to moderate exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Rejuvenation Peel with Advanced Lightening
This formula incorporates hydroquinone for a stronger pigmentation correction treatment. This effective formulation will correct Melasma, sun damage and pigment discolourations of any kind. It will also inhibit active acne and correct post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown-spotting) often caused by acne. This treatment can also be used on the neck and chest to correct sun damage. Mild to moderate exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Rejuvenation Peel with Advanced Lightening and Exfoliation
This peel is the most potent formulation of the SKIN exfoliating treatments. It is a deeper peel that will provide more exfoliation for oilier, thicker, resilient skin types. It is effective on extremely sun damaged, thickened skin and can also be used to treat hands and arms. It is also excellent for those with active/cystic acne and asphyxiated skin (dry on the surface, oily underneath). Moderate exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Acne Clarifying Treatment
This treatment combines a careful cleansing and extraction of acne lesions, followed by a specialized clarifying mask treatment. This 20% salicylic acid mask helps to clear pores and smooth the surface of the skin. The activity in this formula is balanced by the inclusion of wild cherry bark and cherry extract. These two ingredients are very effective anti-inflammatory agents that calm and soothe the skin. In addition to being particularly effective on all types of acne and hyperkeratosis, rosacea sufferers also experience excellent results from this treatment. Recommended approximately once a month, or as advised by your medical aesthetician. Mild exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Ultra I Exfoliating Treatment
SKIN's Ultra Peel exfoliating treatments are appropriate for all skin types, conditions and sensitivities. These treatments are especially ideal for sensitive skin, as they produce a minimal stinging sensation. Ultra Peel exfoliating treatments will effectively treat acne (especially good for the frequent breakouts during teenage years), pigment disorders, aging skin, smokers' skin and photo-damaged skin. The inclusion of naturally sourced progesterone adds needed hydration and plumpness to the skin. Mild exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Ultra II Exfoliating Treatment
The Ultra II treatment may be used in conjunction with any of the rejuvenating peels or treatments. Its retinol content stimulates visible exfoliation, while two sources of progesterone add needed hydration and plumping to the skin. This neutral PH cream may also be used on its own to create the "non-burning facial (peel)", an excellent treatment for traumatized or hypersensitive skin. Mild exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Sensi Peel Exfoliating Treatment
The Sensi Peel exfoliating treatment was formulated for extremely sensitive skin types. It gently smoothes the skin surface, while placing lightening, brightening and tightening agents into the skin. The solution contains a blend of lactic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), in addition to meadowfoam oil, an essential fatty acid that nourishes the skin and helps to buffer any stinging sensation. Plant-derived progesterone leaves the skin feeling plump and hydrated. This peel is excellent for treating rosacea as redness and inflammation subsides substantially after the treatment. It is also excellent when used in conjunction with microdermabrasion treatments. Mild exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Pumpkin Peel Beta-C Mask Treatment
SKIN's popular Pumpkin Peel Beta-C Mask Treatment is a nutritional treatment that is beneficial for any skin type and age. It is a powerful antioxidant keratolytic treatment that can serve as an alternate between other peels and therapeutic treatments. Its main source of nutrition - pumpkin - offers more than 100 beneficial components, including the highest concentration of natural vitamins A, C and beta-carotene.
This luxurious treatment contains a built-in fruit acid and enzyme profile that decreases oxidative and free radical stress. Naturally occurring salicylic acids refine the skin's texture, while helping to clear and minimize pores. It exfoliates and draws impurities out of the skin while introducing these vitamins, enzymes and nutrients into the skin. It is an excellent treatment for smokers as it stimulates circulation, promotes healing and provides vitamin nutrition. There is no downtime and in fact, skin will be glowing and extremely healthy-looking immediately following the treatment. Mild exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
Esthetique Peel Exfoliating Treatment
This treatment is formulated with a higher PH to allow gentle, yet effective therapy on all skin types. Containing retinol, kojic acid, arbutin, green tea leaf extract and grape seed extract, this complex formula combines the increased cell turnover of retinol with the smoothing and hydrating benefits of L-Lactic Acid. Especially effective at diminishing laxity and hyperpigmentation, this treatment will also improve skin texture and clarity while keeping the skin moist and hydrated. Mild to moderate exfoliation following treatment should be expected. The Esthetique Peel is appropriate for all skin types.
Vitalize Peel
The Vitalize Peel uses a special formulation that includes a unique blend of alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol, and retinoic acids that is only available from a physician. After only one peel you will begin to notice a dramatic improvement in your skin's texture and tone, lessening of superficial lines and a healthier, more youthful look and feel. While noticeable results are seen after only one peel, dramatic results can be achieved by a series of 6 peels. This peel solution is one of the strongest, yet safest and gentlest peels available today. The skin renewal process stimulated by the Vitalize Peel has been clinically proven to stimulate collagen production in the cells underneath, reduce pigmentation irregularities and improve active acne. The Vitalize Peel is safe and gentle for all skin types. Moderate exfoliation should be expected in the days following this treatment.
"Baby Feet" Foot Peel
This three step treatment is excellent on its own or combined with your favourite SKIN Pedicure. Starting out with a mild exfoliation of the upper layers of the skin, the Pre-Peel Accelerator Mask is applied to prepare the treatment area for the peel solution. Depending on the condition of the heel and sole area, 3 to 5 layers of peel solution are applied. The solution does not hurt or burn, but may feel a little "tingly". This treatment duo is formulated with potent yet skin-friendly ingredients, along with nourishing components to soften and hydrate the skin's surface. TCA, lactic and salicylic acids join together to affect dramatic changes in the skin's appearance and texture.
The underside of your feet will appear normal for several days, until the sloughing begins. Soaking your feet or taking a long shower will facilitate the removal of several layers of dead skin from soles of the feet. There is no discomfort associated with this peeling process and once it is completed, you won't believe how smooth and young your feet will look and feel!
