MEDICAL GRADE PEELS
Your Clinical Guide to Aspect Professional Peels
Aspect Dr professional peels are clinical-grade chemical peels designed to enhance skin health, improve texture, and address various skin concerns through exfoliation and skin cell regeneration. These peels are formulated with advanced active ingredients that target aging, pigmentation, acne, and dull skin, offering customizable solutions for a wide range of skin types and conditions. Unlike over-the-counter peels, Aspect Dr professional peels are performed by trained clinicians to ensure safety and optimal results.
How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin that exfoliates and removes the outermost layers. This controlled exfoliation process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting the turnover of skin cells and the production of collagen and elastin. As the damaged skin layers shed, new, healthier skin emerges, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion.
Aspect Dr peels use a combination of active ingredients, including alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and enzymes, that penetrate the skin at various depths to target specific concerns. Each peel is designed to offer professional-grade exfoliation while minimizing irritation and downtime.
Benefits of Aspect Dr Professional Peels
Aspect Dr professional peels are formulated to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
1. Anti-Aging: Peels help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging collagen production and skin renewal.
2. Hyperpigmentation: By targeting melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), these peels can lighten dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
3. Acne & Congestion: Peels with BHAs like salicylic acid penetrate deep into the pores, helping to reduce acne, blackheads, and clogged pores.
4. Texture & Tone: By exfoliating dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, peels improve skin texture, reduce roughness, and restore radiance to dull, tired-looking skin.
5. Boosting Skin Hydration: Some peels contain hydrating ingredients that help improve moisture retention, leaving the skin plumper and more hydrated.
Types of Aspect Dr Peels
Aspect Dr offers a range of peels, each formulated to address specific skin types and concerns. Your clinician will help determine the best peel based on your skin’s needs and goals:
1. Lactobotanical Peel: This gentle peel contains lactic acid (an AHA) derived from milk, known for its hydrating and exfoliating properties. It’s ideal for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin and helps to brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation, and smooth the skin without causing excessive dryness or irritation.
2. Salicylic Acid Peel: A BHA peel specifically designed for oily and acne-prone skin. It penetrates deep into the pores to exfoliate, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation, making it an effective option for treating acne, blackheads, and congestion.
3. Retinol Brûlée Peel: This peel combines retinol with other exfoliating agents to provide anti-aging benefits and skin renewal. It is ideal for mature skin types seeking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. The retinol in this peel helps to boost collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and enhance skin texture.
4. Pigment Punch Peel: Designed to target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, this peel contains ingredients that work to reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and melasma. It helps to brighten the skin and restore a more even complexion, making it ideal for individuals with pigmentation concerns.
5. Jungle Brew Peel: This detoxifying peel is specifically formulated for oily, congested, or acne-prone skin. It helps to purify the skin by removing excess oil, dead skin cells, and debris that contribute to clogged pores and breakouts.
The Aspect Dr Peel Procedure
1. Consultation and Skin Assessment: Prior to treatment, your clinician will conduct a thorough assessment of your skin to determine which peel is best suited to your skin type and concerns. They will also discuss your skincare routine and any pre-treatment preparations needed.
2. Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and debris. Depending on the peel chosen, a pre-peel solution may be applied to prepare the skin and ensure even penetration of the peel.
3. Application of Peel: The chosen Aspect Dr peel is applied to the skin, typically for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the peel type and skin sensitivity. Patients may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the active ingredients penetrate the skin and begin to work.
4. Neutralization and Post-Peel Care: After the prescribed time, the peel is neutralized or removed, and a soothing serum or mask is applied to calm the skin. A high SPF sunscreen is also applied to protect the newly exfoliated skin from UV exposure.
Post-Treatment Care
Following an Aspect Dr professional peel, it’s essential to take care of the skin to maximize results and minimize irritation:
Avoid Sun Exposure: The skin is more sensitive to UV rays after a peel, so it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Hydration and Moisturization: Keeping the skin well-hydrated will help support the healing process. A gentle, hydrating moisturizer should be used regularly.
Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using strong exfoliants, retinoids, or other active ingredients for several days post-peel to allow the skin to recover.
Expect Mild Flaking: Depending on the strength of the peel, mild flaking or peeling may occur as the skin sheds dead cells. This is a normal part of the process and typically subsides within a few days.
Results and Frequency of Treatment
Immediate Results: Most patients notice smoother, brighter skin after just one treatment. The skin may have a radiant glow and feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Cumulative Effects: For more significant concerns like pigmentation, acne, or deep wrinkles, a series of peels is often recommended. Typically, 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart will yield the best results.
Maintenance: To maintain optimal skin health and results, regular peels every 3-6 months are often recommended, depending on the individual’s skin type and goals.
Conclusion
Aspect Dr professional peels provide a safe, effective, and customizable approach to skin rejuvenation. Whether patients are looking to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or address specific concerns like pigmentation or acne, these clinical-grade peels offer visible results with minimal downtime. The combination of advanced ingredients and professional application ensures that treatments are both effective and gentle, making them suitable for all skin types.
