Looking for everlasting beauty
For more than 3,500 years, women have been using a range of substances like fermented grape skins, even mustard poultices (soft moist mass), to improve their complexions. It is known fact that Cleopatra used lactic acid from sour milk to lessen lines and blemishes on her face.
Today, different and stronger acids are used to remove the outer layers of the skin and improve its appearance. One of the latest treatments is a chemical peel; it involves applying a type of “chemical agent” to the skin for the purposes of exfoliating and improving sun damaged or thickened surface skin, while stimulating the growth of healthier skin. They are also effective on some spots, blemishes and acne scarring.
Peel treatment solutions most typically contain either alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid), beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), tricholoracetic acid (TCA), or phenol as the exfoliating agent.
Each of these are categorized by the concentration and the resulting depth of the peel on the skin which can range from superficial peels, also known as micro or light peels, to medium or deep peels.
What to expect from a chemical peel?You can expect minor to major improvements such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles Skin discolorations Skin texture Rebuilding of collagen Removal of blackheads A temporary reduction in excessive oil production.
On the other hand, chemical peels in any form cannot:Remove or reduce the appearance of blood vessels on the skin Change the appearance of enlarged pores Produce any effect on keloidal scarring Work as a facelift Improve skin discoloration completely for those with darker skin color.
Type of peels
As mentioned previously, there are three types of peels:
This is the most commonly used procedure. It is a quick and easy treatment that consists of removing the outer layer of cells, lightly exfoliating the skin to give a healthy glow.
The face is cleansed, the peel solution is painted on and left for two to ten minutes. In some cases, mild stinging may occur. The peel is then washed off and neutralized. The skin will look pink afterwards and may show faint white discoloration or blotches which do fade in one or two hours. But there are no after-effects, and you can go straight back to normal daily life.
Risks: In some cases, the new skin may have too much pigment, which will turn to brown blotches in sunlight (hyper-pigmentation). But if you care using a high factor sunscreen at all times, you will prevent this problem.
This technique penetrates further into the skin to reduce small wrinkles and acne scars, and to even out skin colour and tone.
In this procedure, the skin is cleansed and peel applied evenly. The treated area turns whitish grey over several minutes. Then cool saline compressors are then applied to neutralise the acid in the peel. The face may swell when the peel is applied, and burning or stinging lasts for about an hour after the treatment has been administered.
Recovery can take up to a week or more, depending on how quickly you heal. This depends on your age as when we get older the healing process becomes slower. In five to six days after treatment, the skin may turn dark brown, with white streaks. It will itch and begin to peel, after which the skin is bright red, fading to fresh pink over the next three to six weeks.
The treatment may be repeated monthly until you achieve the effect s you want and then you will have to peel every 6-12 months.
Risks: Hyper-pigmentation can occur even if you use sunscreens. Although brown blotches can be treated with bleaching creams. The red face can sometimes last longer than two to three months.
Deep peels are not widely available because it penetrates the lower dermal layer of the skin to remove or lessen deeper wrinkles, lines and scars.
These treatments are done firstly with local anaesthetic, it is injected into the skin freeze the face, although sometimes you may also be sedated. The skin is cleansed and a strong peeling agent is applied and left on for around 30 minutes before being neutralised.
Patients often feel unwell after a deep peel, and can experience moderate to severe pain lasting for up to several days. The face swells in the first two days and it can be very itchy during the healing process. It takes around two weeks before the face is healed enough for the patient can be seen in public.
Nature always offers the best
However, there are other natural alternatives if you dont like the idea of using peeling treatments. There are many examples of natural procedures and anti-ageing cosmetics that contain fruit acids or retinol that improves the skin's appearance, although they have very little effect on scar improvement.
Always remember that giving up smoking, drinking lots of water, taking regular exercise to improve circulation, having a healthy diet, and using sunscreen help prevent deterioration in the skin's condition.
But, if you are not satisfied with the traditional procedures, now there's a new natural option for removing unwanted face blemishes. BIOSKINCARE cream is a natural enzyme option because it's not a chemical made drug or pharmaceutical product. It is a natural cosmetic product made with a natural compound produced by land snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller, the same they use to quickly repair their skin and shell whenever it is damaged. It is a liquid that is made into an odorless white cream.
Analysis of the fluid has determined that it contains activators of skin growth factors and antimicrobial peptides. Also present are natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulating proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
GAGs are a family of linear anionic polysaccharides that are typically isolated as proteoglycans linked to a protein core. The biological functions of proteoglycans, including the regulation of cell growth, signaling, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and interactions with pathogens result, in large part, through the interaction of the GAG chains in proteoglycans with proteins, such as growth factors and their receptors. GAGs also provide hydration and swelling pressure to tissues enabling them to withstand compression forces.
Skin regeneration can be enhanced with the use of BIOSKINREPAIR ™ as it signals the body to reproduce fibroblasts and digest damaged cells at the appropriate rate.
Enzymes within the compound play a role in loosening and digesting scar proteins, while the SKIN RENEWAL ACTIVATORS help in the renewal of the damaged proteins and the orderly layout of healthy skin cells.
The cream accelerates the process of skin remodeling. It also helps to activate your own skin's metalloproteinases (enzymes) that remove damaged proteins (sun-damaged or worn out) and scars. At the same time they help activate the mechanism that protects your body against excessive breakdown of proteins.
