What can I do about my aging skin?

As we age, cell turnover slows dramatically affecting the appearance of the skin. We start seeing signs of fine lines, wrinkles, acne and hyper-pigmentation.

​​

Chemical peels are one of the best ways to address these changes. 

How does dermalogica's Pro Power Peel  work?

Chemical peels are an excellent treatment choice for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to advanced signs of aging. Despite their varying uses, most peels work the same way: they remove the skin’s outermost layers to stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover, improving skin’s texture and appearance.

​

​Since every client’s skin is different, dermalogica’s Pro Power Peel can be tailored to your specific concerns.  

It's not a one-size- fits-all treatment: for optimal results, a peel should be strong enough to accelerate cell turnover but not so powerful as to induce severe skin in ammation.

​

How is dermalogica's pro power peel different from other chemical peels?

Its full customizable! It's dermalogica's strongest and fastest peel yet, the Pro Power Peel collection features a full suite of peel products, including Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA). Each of these has a different molecular size and penetrates the skin to different degrees, allowing skin care professionals to create tailored treatments that effectively address a vast range of skin concerns – from early signs of aging to uneven skin tone and breakouts.

What should I expect after treatment?

This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cooling gels or ice packs. There may be an initial flare-up of acne, similar topical or oral acne medication. Some of the blemishes may appear redder, but they will then fade after 2-3 weeks.
