Beta Hydroxy Peels

• The skin is continually undergoing natural exfoliation. As one ages the epidermal cell turnover slows down and one's skin becomes dull because the topmost layer consisting of dead cells becomes too thick.
• This dead layer can challenge the skin causing whiteheads, blackheads, rough texture and uneven appearance of the skin tone.
• If one exfoliates regularly, new healthy skin cell are exposed to nutrients from the air, water and daily skin products.
• These nutrients are then transported to the deeper skin cells where they are needed, improving circulation.
• Potential benefits of Beta peels include fresher, brighter looking skin and
• Better penetration of active ingredients of skin care products.

After your initial consultation, you will be given a pigment inhibiting product which must be applied to the entire face daily for ten to 14 days before the peeling process can begin. This down regulates 6 enzyme pathways that produces melanin and will prevent the possibility of post inflammatory pigmentation PIH that can occur after any exfoliation procedure.
