Micropeel offered in NYC

What is Micropeel?

Micro-peel is a process that enables us to penetrate the skin to allow anti-oxidants to affect the dermis (live tissue). It is a good anti-oxidant because of what it’s made of, a better food source for the free radicals – the free radicals will jump from the collagen tissues to the anti-oxidant and then be flushed out of the body through the bloodstream, causing the collagen tissues to once again promote the cell turnover in the dermis needed to maintain a younger, healthier and more vibrant dermis and skin appearance. Alpha Hydroxy Acids, (AHA’s) which are most commonly known as lactic and glycolic etc. is the first layer of chemical peeling agent applied to the skin. These ‘acids’ break the ‘glue’ or ‘bonds’ that hold the cells together. It helps remove a superficial layer of dead skin cells. We follow this with a Microdermabrasion treatment (MDA) that will further eliminate major dead cells that are stopping product penetration. We then follow this step with an additional chemical peel at a stronger pH concentration which allows for us to create our ‘windows of opportunity’ into the dermis.

​

Why choose micropeel?

The only way to anti-age or affect overall skin condition and appearance for long lasting results is to generate cell turnover in the live tissue. This is only achieved truly with a medical grade chemical acid with the pH below a 4. An aesthetician by law – working on her own, is not allowed to touch the dermis. The natural pH of the skin averages 4.5 – the only acids she can purchase are of a pH of 6 and above. Not allowing true penetration to the dermal layer.  Medical grade acids are a pH of 3 and below. 

How can we achieve its maximum effect?

The recommendation for achieving the best optimum result is to do a series of 6 treatments to ‘kick’ in the cell turnover at a faster rate. One treatment a week for three weeks and then every other week for an additional three treatments. If your skin rotates every 28 days, we are hitting it hard with micropeels every 7 days. This jumps start the skin as it is not able to keep up with the cell turnover we are forcing it to produce. We have also created a ‘superficial’ wound to the face, further making the skin produce ‘healing’ agents in the body to help produce the collagen tissues at a faster rate than normal. The client should see exceptional results within the first month of their treatments.
