pEELINGS

WHAT ARE PEELINGS?

Peels have a rejuvenating effect on your skin. They stimulate cell renewal and remove dead skin cells. The skin becomes more even, pigmentation spots fade, pores become less visible, and the skin appears renewed and rejuvenated. The right peel can reverse the process of skin aging and improve your entire skin structure.

Peels can be used as standalone treatments, but the best results are achieved when they are used in combination with a laser treatment. The right cosmeceuticals also play a key role. The use of cosmeceuticals depends on your personal situation; for example, you can use them prior to the peel treatment if you suffer from hyperpigmentation. These products start to slow down the formation of pigmentation. During a course of treatment, we use products which are suitable for skin that has just undergone a peel treatment and which protect the skin from the sun! After the treatment you use cosmeceuticals to maintain the result.

SKIN TECH PEELINGS

PERSONAL TREATMENT PLAN WITH SKIN TECH PEELS

The skin therapist will determine which peel will work best for you during the preliminary consultation. The cosmeceuticals that are specially selected for you are an important part of these treatments; they contribute towards the result and protect your skin after the peel. Since these peels are so effective, normal products for unpeeled skin must not be used. These special products are included in the price of the treatment; we charge set prices for our packages.

COSMECEUTICALS TO COMPLEMENT PEEL TREATMENTS

Specific Skin Tech treatment creams and a Cleanser Foam facial cleanser for home use form part of the treatment plan for medium and deep peels. These treatment creams have been specially developed to tackle particular skin problems (such as pigmentation spots, acne, fine lines, and scars, dry, poor, or dull skin) and to protect your skin from sunlight (UV) and heat (Melablock HSP® SPF 30 and 50+).

This Post-Peel Care not only maximizes the results of the treatment, but also prevents the risk of complications such as inflammatory reactions and the development of pigmentation spots. It is therefore very important that you use these creams for at least six weeks after the last peel. After that, you may decide to keep using them because they are so effective and compatible with your skin, or to go back to using your usual brand.

During the course of treatment, you cannot use your own day and night creams or facial cleansers, as they are not intended for use on peeled, fragile skin and almost always contain irritants (such as perfumes and acids) that can lead to adverse inflammatory reactions or other complications.

SUPERFICIAL PEELS FROM SKIN TECH

Skin Tech’s superficial peels give your skin a refreshing boost. The peels, which consist mainly of fruit acids, penetrate the epidermis and remove the dead skin cells. They clean your skin, making it feel refreshed, and stimulate blood circulation without actually peeling the skin. This type of peel is also called a party peel. You can use them to freshen up your skin without your skin needing a long time to recover. This type of peel is suitable for treating blackheads and acne.

MEDIUM-DEPTH PEELS FROM SKIN TECH

The medium-depth peels penetrate one of the superficial area of the dermis – the living layer of the skin – and are suitable for skin rejuvenation and improvement, for example, the reduction of acne, acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation spots, sallow skin, or coarse pores. The medium-depth peels are TCA peels. Skin Tech’s TCA peel is a unique composition of TCA with a base solution of vitamins and antioxidants, among other ingredients. The acids in these TCA peels penetrate deeper into the skin than the superficial peels. They are also stronger exfoliators, which really improves the skin. These peels are suitable for all skin types, including dark skin and thin, sensitive skin.

DEEP PEELS FROM SKIN TECH

Deep peels are suitable for aged skin or skin with sun damage and/or deep wrinkles. They penetrate deep into the dermis, and are divided into deep, deeper, deepest. Peels that penetrate the deepest layer of skin ensure that the old skin is completely replaced by new baby-soft skin. Deep peels have a longer recovery time than less deep peels, but the results are tremendous.

Deep peels can also be applied locally, achieving an effect similar to a surgical procedure – such as a lower eyelid correction – without the need for surgery. They can also be used to remove smoker’s lines on the upper lip. We then use a medium-depth peel for the rest of the face.

The deep peels consist of phenol, often in combination with TCA. They are also a lot more expensive than the medium-depth and superficial peels, but the result is more than worth the investment. You reverse decades of skin aging!
