WHAT ARE FACIAL PEELS?
​
Facial peels are skin resurfacing treatments.
Specific solutions are applied to your skin causing exfoliation of dead skin cells (keratinocytes) and impurities.
​
New skin cells, collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin are stimulated to regenerate resulting in new firm, smooth, radiant, clear, hydrated and balanced skin.
​
There are different types of peels from superficial to medical grade which can be used depending on your skin condition and skin type.
Multiple peels are recommended for lasting results
Downtime varies dependent of peel type:
​
No downtime - Enzyme Peels
Effects from BioRepeel, Glow, Refresh, Pure Peels usually subside in a few hours.
​
More sensitive skin may take longer to recover.
Glow Peel …. £75
​
The Clinicare Glow AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) Peel is a superficial glycolic acid peel effective in treating hyperpigmentation, age spots, sun damage and dull, tired skin.
The Clinicare Glow Peel is a peel with a pH of 1.7 which will remove the upper layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum). It inhibits melanin synthesis, brightens the skin, evens out discolouration and is safe to use on darker skin.
​
Active Ingredients
​
Glycolic Acid 28%
The Glow Peel contains the smallest and most effective alpha hydroxy acid, derived from sugar cane. It exfoliates the epidermis, promotes cell regeneration and stimulates the growth of new skin. It safely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, bringing fresh, new skin to the surface.
Mandelic acid 6%
This alpha hydroxy acid is derived from bitter almonds. It has depigmenting properties, inhibits melanin synthesis, exfoliates and rejuvenates skin.
Kojic Acid 4%
Kojic acid is derived from a variety of fungi and organic substances and is used to diminish dark areas resulting from excessive pigmentation in the skin. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase and prevents the formation of melanin.
Arbutin 2%
Arbutin acts by reversibly suppressing melanosomal tyrosinase activity and thus prevents the synthesis of melanocytes. It works synergistically with kojic acid to enhance the brightening effect.
Refresh Peel …. £75
​
The Clinicare Refresh Peel is a superficial glycolic acid peel suitable for an anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation effect.
The Clinicare Refresh AHA Peel is a superficial chemical peel that removes the upper layers of the epidermis (pH 1.55). It strengthens the skin and stimulates collagen synthesis.
​
Active Ingredients
​
Glycolic Acid 48%
The Refresh Peel contains the smallest and most effective alpha hydroxy acid, derived from sugar cane. It exfoliates the epidermis, promotes epidermolysis, and stimulates the growth of new skin. It safely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, bringing fresh, new skin to the surface.
Phytic Acid 4%
Phytic acid protects against inflammation by blocking free radicals and increasing antioxidant functionality. It is also able to protect DNA from free radicals. It can enter cells and help DNA repair breaks in the strands.
Kojic Acid 2%
Kojic acid is derived from a variety of fungi and organic substances and is used to diminish dark areas resulting from excessive pigmentation in the skin. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase and prevents the formation of melanin.
Pure Peel …. £75
​
The Clinicare Pure BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) Peel is a mild salicylic acid peel suitable for acne treatment and the improvement of skin texture.
The Clinicare Pure BHA Peel is a light superficial chemical peel that will remove the upper layers of the epidermis (pH 2.4).
This peel is suitable for acne treatments and can be used to improve skin texture.
Active Ingredients
Salicylic acid 20%
Derived from willow tree bark, this has keratolytic, comedolytic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Its lipophilic properties enable the salicylic acid to penetrate and dissolve sebum, making it a highly effective therapy for acne. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties which make it suitable for sensitive skin conditions, such as rosacea. Salicylic acid has a mild anaesthetic effect compared to AHAs.
​
Lactic acid 12%
The mildest of alpha hydroxy acids, it has water binding properties and stimulates collagen synthesis.
Glycolic acid 12%
This exfoliates the epidermis, promotes epidermolysis, disperses basal layer melanin and stimulates the growth of new skin. Glycolic acid also reduces the amount of surface skin oil.
BioRePeel …. £80
​
BioRePeel is an innovative, bi-phase TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) peel with a bio stimulating, revitalising and peeling action.
​
It has 14 active ingredients that contribute to exfoliation, skin cell turnover and profound stimulation to counter the effects of skin ageing, acne scarring and damage caused by UV radiation and pollution.
​
It is excellent in anti-ageing due to it containing all the essential amino acids and vitamins your skin needs.
​
The FND contains 35% TCA and GABA which is a muscle relaxant and thereby reduces lines/wrinkles.
​
Furthermore the treatment is suitable for young skin during acute stages of acne, blackheads with recent or fresh scarring.
​
BioRePeel works in two stages:
​
Hydrophilic Phase
The hydrophilic phase contains an innovative mix of TCA, alpha, beta and poly hydroxy acids, amino acids and vitamins.
It's bio stimulating and revitalising actions ensure fibroblasts’ activity, activate cutaneous proliferating and biosynthetic processes, as well as increase cellular turnover and collagen and elastin production. In addition, hydrophilic phase promotes exfoliation, reduces fine lines by neutralisation of free radicals, and helps battling acne, enlarged pores and comedones.
​
Lipophilic Phase
The lipophilic phase create a microfilm on the skin that regenerate and moisturises the skin, but it is also an enhancer that helps the deep vehiculation of active principles.
Has stabilising and protective actions, reduces trans-epidermic water evaporation and assists active principles vehiculation. Also, restores and maintains the cutaneous hydro-lipidic film. Its moisturising action increases overall hydration.
​
Active Ingredients
TCA - Trichloroacetic acid
​
Lactobionic acid
This product is made of a molecule of gluconic acid, a polyhydroxyacid, linked to a carbohydrate, galactose. It is an effective epidermal anti-ageing molecule and stimulates dermal matrix polymer synthesis and dermal synthesis. It has great moisturising properties thanks to the structural -OH groups. It reduces cutaneous Metalloproteinases (MMPs) production, protecting the skin from chronoageing and photoageing. Galactose is an endogen carbohydrate that is used by fibroblasts to synthesize glycosaminoglycans and collagen.
Salicylic acid
Powerful keratolytic, that selectively cuts keratin aminoacidic chain of corneocytes. It doesn’t affect the other dermal proteins, so it exerts the exfoliating action only on dermal protein, making this active principle well tolerated by cells below, void of keratin. It has bacteriostatic and lenitive actions, frees the enlarged pores from the sebaceous content, creating an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth and thus reducing the possibility of formation of acne lesions.
​
Tartaric acid
It is a dicarboxylic acid and a powerful antioxidant molecule, famous for its lightening and exfoliating properties. It is used for the keratolytic action, it reduce corneocytes adesion. It is effective to treat dry, inelastic skin, acne and blackheads
Citric acid
It is a tricarboxylic acid, with chelating properties for bivalent ions like Ca2+; this is a reason why the acid has antioxidant action. The hydroxyl group in alpha position of carboxylic group gives exfoliating and keratolytic properties. It also has regenerating and astringent effects for enlarged pores. The keratolitic action is carried out with high efficacy by Salicylic, Tartaric and Citric that, thanks to their molecular structure, selectively break the amino acid chain that acts as a junction between the corneocytes. They have no effect on other dermal proteins, so the exfoliating action only affects the corneal cells.
This favours the penetration of the pool of active princpiples:
​
Amino acids:
​
Glycine
Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen (35%). It has moisturising, antioxidant and regenerating properties.
​
Proline
Basic amino acid in collagen synthesis and support. It has elasticising properties so it is indicated for inelastic and aged skin.
Hydroxyproline
Hydroxyproline is widely present in collagen. It increases and support ceramides synthesis, activating keratinocytes proliferation and fibroblasts’ collagen production.
​
Arginine
Arginine is a basic amino acid with moisturising and trophic functions for the skin. It is involved in blood flow regulation processes. It helps regulating biochemical processes like protein and macromolecule synthesis as collagen, elastin and keratin. Indicated for inelastic skin. It is a biochemical modulator of trichloroacetic acid and the fundamental substrate for NO production. It promotes angiogenesis, cutaneous riepithelialisation and tissue growth factors production.
Vitamin C
Essential co factor in collagen synthesis. It is the main cellular antioxidant molecule. It protects from ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and regenerate other antioxidant molecules.
​
Vitamin B2
Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, is an hydrophilic vitamin, necessary for normal skin tropism. It is FAD and FMN precursor, so it is involved in huge number of metabolic reaction, as the activation of other vitamins. It helps removing ROS due to cutaneous oxidative stress and it can accelerate cell growth and regeneration. The deficiency generates a functional alteration of the skin with a fine-grained and greasy skin.
​
Lifting agent: GABA (aminobutyric acid)
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is a non essential amino acid and the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It promotes collagen synthesis thanks to inhibition of cutaneous Metalloproteinases (MMPs), cutaneous proteins degradation enzymes. The GABA effect is cutaneous tissue distension thanks to nerve relaxation and consequent relaxation of the muscles responsible of wrinkling. The result is an effective anti-wrinkle action.
FAQ
​
What peel is right for me?
There are different grades of peel: superficial, medium and deep. This refers to the strength of the acid used in the peel and how deep it will penetrate through the layers of skin. Deeper peels require a longer recovery time.
