It’s a well-known fact that cell turnover slows dramatically as we age. The impact of this decline presents in the skin in a variety of ways. While some patients experience an increase in ageing symptoms such as fine lines and wrinkles, others may experience acne, hyperpigmentation – or a combination of them all.
Chemical peels are still considered one of the most effective ways to address these concerns, however, there’s no such thing as “one peel fits all”. In the past, this has led to clients not feeling satisfied with their results as not all their concerns have been addressed. Dermalogica’s pro power peel is totally re-shaping the peel market as it is designed to be customised, addressing individual patient needs with strong innovative formulas without creating unnecessary inflammation.
The peel system comprises of a prepping solution, three individual peel formulas and a neutralizing solution. Pro power peel is completely unique in its formulation due to the ability for each peel formula to be applied as a single peel choice or for the various peels to be combined on a gauze or layered to target individual client concerns. Due to the peels potency and low pH, therapists need to fully understand how the formulas work and how to prepare their clients skins and look after them post-procedure.
The three peel formulas address the three main client concerns of ageing, pigmentation and breakouts.
PowerClear Peel is a potent clearing peel formulated to target blemishes, prevent breakouts, reduce sebum production and visibly diminish post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Power clear peel is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, a lipophilic BHA able to disrupt desmosome cohesion while penetrating the sebaceous gland to help remove impaction plugs.10% Mandelic Acid (from Bitter Almonds) and 15% Malic Acid (from Apples) speed up cell turnover rate to help even skin tone. Dermalogica’s patented Terpineol-Thymol Complex helps suppress sebum production and works with skin’s natural microbiome to kill breakout-causing bacteria in minutes.
The UltraBright Peel utilizes the power of lactic acid to brighten dull skin, hydrate and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
This innovative formula incorporates 30% Lactic Acid, to stimulate exfoliation by decreasing corneocyte cohesion. Lactic acid is a popular ingredient due to its humectant properties but also its size. As an acid with a larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin more slowly and is therefore less irritating to the skin. Phytic Acid aids in cell turnover, brightening the skin and providing antioxidant benefits and Mucor Fungal Extract mimics the effect of Cathepsin D (a proteolytic enzyme that plays an important role in maintaining a normal skin barrier), to deliver an efficient exfoliation.
AdvancedRenewal Peel is a powerful peel formulated to resurface the skin to help fight the visible effects of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and evening skin tone.
30% Glycolic Acid decreases corneocyte cohesion and enhances skin desquamation, facilitating exfoliation and cell renewal, while Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract stimulates natural desquamation enzymes involved in the degradation of intercellular adhesion structures in the corneum enabling skin clarity and luminosity. Glycolic Acid’s small molecular size allows it to penetrate skin quickly and easily, so it’s important to monitor skin for erythema and irritation during application.
When used as singular peels or in combination, and as part of a treatment program, clinicians are able to target the three main skin concerns for their patients and achieve outstanding results and patient satisfaction.
