CosMedix Correct Peels
Traditional chemical peels create a change by destroying healthy surface tissue, forcing the body to heal itself while severely compromising its natural protection against the elements. Instead CosMedix’ innovative, non-traumatic peels change the skin from the inside out. They succeed by stimulating healthy change deep in the skin to create a beautiful, renewed complexion from within.  (Click here for more information on CosMedix Skincare Products)

CosMedix Chirally Correct Advanced Medical Skincare Technology – the foundation of both the professional and homecare product ranges – is based on a process developed by Sharpless and Katsuki in 2000, which won them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001. Chiral correction enables purified ingredients to target and fit specific skin cell receptors with corrected organic phyto-compounds. In this way CosMedix’ all-natural, paraben-free, medical strength formulas target change in the papillary dermis and can effectively alleviate all common cosmetic skin complaints.

The Correct Peels consist of the milder Today’s Peels™ and the stronger Tomorrow’s Peels™. Today’s Peels™ usually require a short preparation time with homecare products prior to peeling, and comprise:
  • Purity Peel™ – This intense formulation is designed to penetrate excess oil to correct skin conditions such as acne and enlarged pores. The unique blend of acids in Purity Peel™ clears the skin of blemishes and heals acne lesions, reduces inflammation and exfoliates the skin to reveal a glowing, dewy complexion. A minimum of three peels is usually needed for optimum results.The images show Active Acne & After 3 CosMedix Purity Peels.
  • Benefit Peel™ – This potent retinol and vitamin C peel delivers a blend of nourishing and stimulating ingredients into the skin, which results in the gentle stimulus of collagen without excessive peeling. The ultimate antioxidant peel for hypersensitive, ageing, or acne-prone skin, Benefit Peel™ is gentle enough for Rosacea sufferers.
  • Pomegranate Peel™ –Infuses the skin with antioxidants to prevent free radical damage and support the life span of healthy cells. Working to smooth the top layers of the skin and mildly stimulate collagen, the Pomegranate Peel™ is suitable for most skin types and produces a fresh, healthy glow.
  • Blueberry Smoothie™ - CosMedix’ deliciously refreshing Blueberry Smoothie™ scrub invigorates the skin with the use of a gentle acid, and active blueberry extracts exfoliate the skin to restore a youthful glow without visible irritation.
  • Blueberry Jessner Peel™ - CosMedix’ Blueberry Jessner Peel™ is good for all skin types and is best used as a pre-peel application to ready the skin for a deeper peel treatment. Darker skin types should use a lightening agent for 10-15 days prior to applying this powerful, highly effective preparation. This light chemical peel is also an exceptional treatment for oily, enlarged pores.
Tomorrow’s Peels™ always require preparation time with stronger retinoids and other supportive homecare products, and depending on the skin condition, may require a longer re-conditioning time prior to treatment. Tomorrow’s Peels™ comprise:
  • Timeless Peel™ - The very best peel to dramatically reduce the visible signs of ageing. CosMedix Timeless Peel™ contains 30% chirally corrected L-Retinol A to generate immense activity in the skin. This enormously effective deep peel works to restore growth of healthy, young skin cells, increases cell turnover and removes layers of dead skin.Timeless Peel™ also effectively lifts deep-seated pigmentation from sun damage and increases your skin’s moisture level to give you an age-defying, smooth-textured complexion.
  • Deep Sea Peel™ - relies on the healing power of the ocean to generate collagen and stimulate deeper changes in the skin. You will feel the stimulating action of this unique non-acid peel for up to 24 hours after application, but the active remodelling goes on for days after treatment.
Other peeling systems
For mild cases of sun damage and congested pores we sometimes use the Environ range of superficial lactic acid peels – Lac-Pamgel and the low percentage Lactogel range – often combined in facials with skin-specific ultrasound.  (Click here for more information on Environ Skincare products)

In some cases of pitted skin texture we also use the Enerpeel PA® Pyruvic Acid superficial peel from SkinMed which effectively removes the fatty components of skin cells, not just the water soluble components like most other acid peels – thereby enabling it to pass easily through the superficial epidermal layers.   (Click here for more information on skncare products from SkinMed)
