AHAs render the peel suitable for rejuvenation in all skin types as they separate the damaged outer dead layer from the new, healthy living layer. BHAs uniquely penetrate the oil in the pores and exfoliate accumulated skin cells inside the oil gland. This particular quality is very important for acne/ problem skin patients, unplugging blocked pores,removing blackheads and tightening pores, as well as benefitting those with sensitive skins or rosacea (reddened skins) or acne rosacea. Also incorporated within the 'Peel & Heal' is a unique elastin in a penetrating peptide form. This is a synthesized replica of human elastin. It has been used extremely successfully within RégimA SCAR REPAIR for wound healing, scar maturation, repair and thickening of damaged or fragile skins. We refuse to use animal derived elastin due to potential cruelty factors and also the fact that animal elastin is rejected by the human body. WHY CHOOSE NATURAL RATHER THAN SYNTHETIC ACIDS? Natural AHAs are not buffered with chemical agents in order to stabilize the product. Chemical stabilizing ingredients can have an irritant effect in certain cases. Natural acids are more easily absorbed and cell regeneration is enhanced with more rapid healing. They have a greater effect and one significant benefit is that they do not increase the blood vessels in the skin. Therefore they do not result in exacerbation of broken capillaries, as can be seen with chemicals or synthetic acids. Synthetic acids cause a short, sharp, shock to the skin. When this occurs one may experience superficial peeling, however, there is no long-term therapeutic action. Synthetic acids, such as glycolic, are much cheaper than natural acids. In RégimA's unique 'Peel & Heal' we use malic, lactic, citric & a natural fruit acid complex. Malic acid (from apples is classified as an AHA & BHA) & Lactic Acid (AHA from milk) are the main choice for RegimA in high concentrations within the peel and night products because, being natural, they are the most skin friendly. Malic has the alpha & beta hydroxy action so suits young oily and mature skins. Lactic acid naturally exfoliates, increases skin moisturization and results in smoother looking and feeling skin. Citric acid (from citrus fruit is classified as an AHA & BHA) so has the alpha & beta hydroxy action with the added benefit of working on evening out pigmentation. WHO PERFORMS THE PEEL & HEAL'? The RégimA peels must be performed by either a doctor or a trained skin care professional. This is a strictly in-salon or doctors rooms ' treatment' and is not for home care application. HOW OFTEN SHOULD ONE HAVE A PEEL? A series of peels may be necessary to achieve an optimal end result to a particular problem. It is better and more favourable longterm to start off conservatively with the peels, each treatment time may be increased, dependent on patient/client reaction and tolerance. With a problem such as pigmentation or acne it would be ideal to commence with either weekly peels or fortnightly peels. This will depend on response, need and concentration of 'Peel & Heal' performed. Assessment will be made at each appointment as to how the peel was tolerated. It will then be decided how long to leave the 'treatment' on and which concentration to use. One will progress to either monthly or 6 weekly peels as desired or required, depending on skin condition and client wishes. A more gradual, conservative approach is the safest and best as it will ensure the desired long-term effects. REMEMBER 'PEEL & HEAL' IS SAFE TO USE ALL YEAR ROUND & SAFE DURING PREGNANCY
