The MicroPeel® – by La Roche-Posay Clinical Care

The MicroPeel® is a safe and effective procedure that can be customized to meet the needs of all skin types. This unique 3-step process starts with dermaplaning or Biomedic Pure Enzyme to remove the dead cellular layers. Next, an AHA solution is applied to the skin to help free pores of impacted debris. Finally, Cryogenic Therapy is performed to relieve inflammation and cool the skin.

The MicroPeel® Plus

The MicroPeel® Plus is a fifteen-minute in-office procedure that will help smooth fine lines and even skin discoloration while reducing the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage to the skin. Available in two concentrations of salycylic acid, the MicroPeel® Plus can be tailored to fit different skin types and goals.

Phyto-Pumpkin Enzyme – by A Natural Difference

Phyto-Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, among the newest developments in exfoliation from A Natural Difference, was originally introduced at the Annual Congress of Esthetics in Miami.
This alternative to AHAs, Phyto Pumpkin Enzyme Peel is a fruit acid/enzyme, an exfoliation accelerator, a powerful anti-oxidant, and a mild retonic acid substitute. As a natural repair therapy, it has beta carotene and absorbic acid as topicals to combat oxidative, free-radical damage.

Sensitive skins and acne conditions will do better with Phyto-Pumpkin Enzyme Peel because it’s not as sharp or intrusive as glycolic can be on some skins. This peel has the richest source of beta carotene and also contains a full complement of Vitamin A derivatives that decreases the oxidative and free-radical stress associated with other chemical peels.

Unlike other botanicals, pumpkin contains a densely populated constellation of nutrients. In fact, fermented and unfiltered whole pumpkin offers over one hundred nutrients. Through enzymic hydrolysis, pumpkin releases many hidden treasures. It's a cornucopia of wonders containing:

  • Protein-building Amino Acids
  • A Plant Growth Factor
  • An Anti-oxidant Pro-vitamin
  • Vitamin C
  • Co-enzymes
  • Moisturizing Fatty Acids
  • Pro-allantoin Compound
  • Plant Hormones
  • A Natural Spintrap

... among other wonderous ingredients.
