Why Amelia loves them
I swear doing yearly chemical peel series is the secret to age management and glowing skin! When I first got into aesthetics and would meet someone older with beautiful skin I would always ask them for their advice, what they wished they would of done more of and what has worked for them. Almost everyone said yearly chemical peels was a must! This stuck with me and haven't stopped doing yearly chemical peels since! The most common answer for what they wished they would of done more of was always wear SPF. If you only put one thing on your face a day and do one treatment a year, make it SPF and Chemical peel. You can thank me later :)
All about the BioRePeel?
What is the BioRePeel?
​
A 30% TCA Chemical Peel. Yes 35%!! AND get this, NO DOWNTIME! How? The BioRePeel was developed by CMed Aesthetics in Italy and uses a patented 2-phase technology that dissolves the bonds between the cells and carefully removes the outer most layer of the skin, turning over the cells and revealing the glowing smooth new layer of skin underneath. While exfoliating the skins surface, it also stimulates the Fibroblast cells, which are the cells most responsible for production of collagen and elastin.
It has been clinically tested and proven to decrease and or eliminate damage from UV rays, pigmentation, acne and acne scarring.
Besides having 35% TCA (which is responsible for improving skin texture, tighten and reduce and or eliminate loose skin, wrinkles, scars and pigmentation) it also has the following blend of ingredients:
-
Salicylic Acid to decongest the pores & help to eliminate excess oil
-
Tartaric Acid to brighten the skin and Lactobionic Acid to ensure a more effective intercellular metabolism.
-
Vitamin C to provide antioxidant and to strengthen the capillaries
