BioRePeel

WHAT IS A PEEL?

A medium grade chemical peel is an effective cosmetic treatment designed to exfoliate the skin, removing the outermost layers of dead skin cells using a solution containing medium-strength acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). This treatment helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage while improving the overall texture and tone of the skin. Here is a detailed overview of what to expect before, during, and after a medium grade chemical peel.

HOW IS BioRePeel DIFFERENT?

BioRePeel is a groundbreaking medium-grade peel, one of the first of its kind, designed to be gentler on the skin barrier. Known as the "no peel, peel," BioRePeel offers all the benefits of traditional peels without the typical shedding or peeling process, allowing for more frequent use and compatibility with other treatments like microneedling.

Unlike traditional 35% TCA peels, which are often associated with intense burning, BioRePeel induces little to no burning sensation, making it a more comfortable option for clients. This innovative peel can be used on all skin types, including darker skin tones, which traditionally faced higher risks with typical peels.

BioRePeel stands out due to its biphasic formulation, which ensures effective skin renewal while maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier, making it an ideal choice for achieving radiant, healthy skin. This makes it an excellent option for clients working in healthcare, retail, or catering, as they can return to their activities immediately without noticeable side effects.

* BioRePeel is best paired with microneedling, where possible, for the optimal results

Precare

Avoid Sun Exposure: - Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least 1 week before your treatment.
Discontinue Certain Products: - Stop physical exfoliation and the use of products containing retinoids, glycolic acids, salicylic acids, and other exfoliating agents at least one week before your appointment.
Hydrate: - Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.
Avoid Blood Thinners: - If possible, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications for at least a 3 days prior to treatment. Consult your doctor before discontinuing any prescription medications.
Inform Your Clinician: - Notify your clinician about any skin sensitivities, allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are taking to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs.
Avoid Alcohol: - Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your treatment to minimise the risk of excessive redness and swelling.

Aftercare

Nothing on the Skin for 24 Hours: Avoid applying anything to your skin in the first 24 hours to support healing and reduce the risk of irritation. Your practitioner can advise on products that are safe to use.
Gentle Routine: After the 24 hours have passed, use gentle cleansers that are free from harsh ingredients to clean your skin without causing irritation.
Moisturise: Apply a calming, fragrance-free moisturiser to soothe and hydrate the skin. Avoid any products with active ingredients while your skin recovers.
Avoid Sun Exposure: As your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, avoid direct sunlight and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when going outside.
No Exfoliation or Active Ingredients: For at least a week post-treatment, avoid physical exfoliation and products containing retinoids, acids, or other active ingredients to prevent irritation or damage to your healing skin.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the recovery process

will biorepeel hurt?

BioRePeel can cause some mild discomfort, but most clients find it very tolerable. During the treatment, you may feel a slight tingling or a mild stinging sensation as the peel penetrates the skin, but it’s typically manageable and short-lived.

how many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions you'll need depends on your skin concerns and goals. Many clients start to see noticeable improvements after 3 to 4 sessions, spaced around 2 to 4 weeks apart. For more stubborn issues like deep pigmentation, acne scars, or advanced signs of ageing, 4 to 6 sessions might be needed for optimal results. After your initial series of treatments, maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain the results. Your practitioner will tailor the number of sessions to your skin’s specific needs.

when can i start to see results?

You may start to see some improvements within a few days after your first BioRePeel session, such as brighter and smoother skin. However, the more significant results, like improvements in texture, tone, and reduction of acne scars or pigmentation, typically become noticeable after 1 to 2 weeks. As collagen production is stimulated and skin regeneration occurs, results will continue to improve over the next few weeks. For best outcomes, multiple sessions are recommended.

Can I wear makeup after my peel?

It’s best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after your peel treatment. This allows your skin to fully heal and regenerate without the risk of irritation or clogging your pores. After 24 hours, you can use lightweight, non-comedogenic makeup, but make sure your skin feels comfortable before applying anything. Opting for gentle, hydrating products can help protect your skin while it continues to recover

THE PROCEDURE

1. Before the Procedure

-You will be advised to follow specific pre-treatment guidelines, including avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and the use of retinoids or exfoliants for 1 week before the procedure.

2. During the procedure

-A chemical solution containing acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and TCA will be carefully applied to your skin. -The solution will be left on your skin for a specific amount of time, depending on your skin type and the desired depth of the peel.

-You may experience a tingling or burning sensation as the solution works to exfoliate your skin. This is normal and indicates that the peel is effectively penetrating the skin layers.

-A fan or cooling device may be used to help alleviate any discomfort during this stage.

-After the designated time, the practitioner will neutralise the acid and remove the solution from your skin. This step is crucial to stop the peeling process and prevent over-exfoliation.

3. After the Procedure

-Your skin will likely appear red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. This redness is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.

-You may also experience a feeling of tightness and dryness as the outer layers of your skin begin to peel away over the coming days.
