SKIN PEELS / RESURFACERS

INTRODUCTION

A procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin causing a reaction that will dissolve old, damaged and dead skin cells from the surface. Aiming to increase cellular turnover with huge benefits of rejuvenation and maintaining skin health. 

The treatment stimulates cell growth ‘new skin’ and collagen production, helping to reveal fresher, clearer, brighter and more even toned skin.

Skin resurfacers and peel treatments make use of acids and enzymes and vary in strength. Choosing the right one depends on the desired outcome, skin condition, skin tone and the target depth (superficial, medium or deep).

Using acids to promote skin peeling and rejuvenation is a method that has been used for centuries.

Chemical peels are among the most effective and efficient ways to maintain skin health.

FAQ

 

.

HOW DO SKIN PEEL/RESURFACERS WORK?

Your skin sheds millions of skin cells every day but the shedding process can slow down dramatically as we age. Damage from sun exposure, genetics and extrinsic factors can result in skin imperfections. 

A chemical peel removes multiple layers of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin causing a small trauma which stimulates the skin to repair itself and bring healthy new cells to the surface, resulting in smoother, healthier, plumper and even-toned skin. 

 It can be used to help treat:

  • Acne
  • Enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines/wrinkles
  • Sun damaged skin
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

This can depend on the strength of the peel. 

Resurfacing or superficial peels usually experience very little downtime, possibly redness immediately afterwards, some dryness or flaking over course of a few days. 

Medium depth peels use stronger concentrations of acids which penetrate more deeply into the skin, creating moderate downtime, burning sensation, mild swelling, redness, peeling which can last for 5-10 days depending on how quick the skin heals. 

Deep peels are not undertaken in this clinic due to higher risks of complications and the necessity to manage pain relief and healing of the skin. 

DOES IT HURT?

Commonly tingling, tightness or a change in temperature skin feeling ‘heat’ lasting minutes is usual. 

IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?

Yes in the correct hands of trained professionals who have undertaken specialist training. Appropriate skin & health assessments, the use of recommended skin care pre and post procedure will reduce potential risks. These treatments essentially expose a new layer of skin that initially is unprotected and sensitive and it is important you follow the post care advise.

HOW LONG WILL THE PROCEDURE TAKE?

The treatment takes around 40- 60 minutes.

WILL I SEE RESULTS QUICKLY?

Usually visible improvements are seen in your skin after one treatment yet best results are obtained following multiple treatments over time.

 Just as it takes time for skin damage to accumulate it takes time to reverse. 

WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT?

This treatment is for both men and women over the age of 18 years following a medical assessment and deemed to be appropriate for skin concern and health. 

Exclusions: Pregnancy, breastfeeding or allergies to any of the peel ingredients.

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?

Superficial Peels are the mildest of peels and require a course usually 6 treatments 1-2 weeks apart and then one maintenance peel 1-2 months’ time. 

 Medium depth peels are usually a single treatment and effects last over 6 months- 12 months.

I had been looking for a good skin care routine and heard about Truth treatments which I found through Medifine. I have recently, intentionally, lost quite a lot of weight and have been worried about the weight loss reflecting badly on my face. I also had rosacea on my cheeks and around my nose. I started a couple of months ago using the vitamin C serum during the day and the balm at night which I apply with the Mineral mist along with the Hyaluronic Mineral Hydrator . Once a week I use the 1% retinol and also take all three Truth Treatment supplements every day. It has taken me a while to get used to the dosing and not using too much of the product as it is very concentrated but the transformation in my skin is remarkable. The Rosacea has practically disappeared and my complexion has a really glowing appearance and my skin feels incredibly soft. I have had lots of people commenting on how great my skin looks. I want to work my way up to using the stronger 5% Retinol but am taking things slowly by just using the 1% for a while until my skin gets used to Retinol. I have also just started using the AHA energizing mineral exfoliator and will hope to slowly build up to using this a couple of times a week. Medifine have been great to deal with and despatch my orders really promptly so I get the products very quickly through the post and they are very helpful and offer lots of advice about how to use the products.

Really appreciate the considerate customer service and the fact that they carry lines like Truth Treatments and Osmosis that are not readily available in Europe.

I've been shopping at Medifine for a long time. I always get competent advice from Lucy. She takes a lot of time and patience to answer my questions by email. The products are sent to me to Germany without any problems. I am excited and grateful.
