The Basics Of Skin Peels
There are different intensity of peels, some very superficial and some very deep (like Samantha from Sex & the City). It targets different levels of the skin aimed at treating acne, scars, lines and wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation and large pores.
Depending on what you would like to achieve, you may need more sessions if you have a more superficial peel or fewer sessions if you have a deeper peel (sometimes, one session will do the trick!).
For deeper peels, you will need more skin preparation, 2-6 weeks before i.e. using prescribed skin products to prepare your skin so it enhances the results without causing excessive reaction, redness or complicated by post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Superficial peels will give you less downtime i.e. redness, flaking or peeling and deeper peels will give you more. The better you prepare your skin, the less downtime you have.
In our clinic, we incorporate skin peels in the Therapeutic Phase and the Maintenance Phase of our Skin Health Circle, as created by our mentor, Dr Zein Obagi, a pioneer in healthy young skin from Beverley Hills.
ZO Skin Health and ZO Medical was developed to offer a wide spectrum of therapeutic treatment protocols and daily skincare solutions to create and maintain healthy, vibrant skin. Based on the latest advances in skin therapy technologies – unique delivery systems, bio-engineered complexes and exclusive formulations – Dr. Zein Obagi has found that these products and protocols help provide continuous skin health for all skin types, genders and ages.
There’s a difference in simple “skin care” and true “skin health.” Our programs are aimed to create and maintain healthy skin which according to Dr Zein Obagi is:
1. Smooth
2. Strong
3. Firm
4. Even-toned
5. Hydrated
6. Full and
7. Disease Free
Our goal for you – a New World of Skin Health
With the introduction of these new, comprehensive and continuous solutions – therapeutic, maintenance, daily skin care and protection – the new world of skin health is waiting for you.
The aim of this program is to:
1. Improve skin tolerance, strength and epidermal renewal (becoming less sensitive and more resilient)
2. Repairing damaged DNA (preventing wrinkles, sun damage, scars and cancer)
3. Minimising potential for hyperpigmentation and stabilising melanocytes to treat pigmentation
4. Exfoliate dead surface cells (to increase the skin’s glow and improve texture)
5. Activate new cell and increase collagen production (increasing firmness and fullness)
6. Improve overall appearance resulting in smooth texture, tight pores, firm and full skin.
