Aspects Lactobotanical Peel, Program $300
Lactic acid is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from milk, which is combined with Canadian Willowherb (an anti inflammatory) to create a unique minimal downtime peel. This targets the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin), breaking down the glue that holds the skin cells together. This enables a faster cell turn-over, resulting in a more youthful appearance to the skin as the healthier layers of skin are brought to the surface.
An alternative to lactic acid is glycolic acid. Lactic acid is a great skin renewal and collagen building agent, and has several distinct advantages over glycolic acid. These include less irritation, and greater effectiveness in treating acne, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration.
Lactobotanical peels are suitable for most skin types, and results can be noticed for epidermal hyperpigmentation, sun damage, mild acne, congestion, dull or lifeless skin and dehydration. Lactobotanical Peels are also highly recommended 1 week after dermal fillers, and a great treatment to have prior to starting a course of Retinol Peels.
Lactobotanical peels have a pH of 2.9-3.15, with lactic acid concentrations of 20%, 30%, 40% and 60%. We begin with the 20% strength peel and increase it every 2 weeks according to your skin reaction.
A course of 3 treatments is recommended, and then the skin is re-assessed to determine if further treatments are required.
It is important to prepare the skin for 2 weeks prior to the first peel with Aspect Dr Skin Care. If the program of 3 treatments is purchased, a Starter Pack is included free of charge to enable your skin to benefit from the peels with the best results.
Individual peels are $100 per treatment.
