Radiate Peel.
The Radiate Peel is designed specifically for those with pigmented or uneven
skin tones looking to improve the tone of their skin and desiring a more
youthful appearance.
​
This is the perfect treatment for a client that may have spent too much time
out in the sun with little or no SPF or used sunbeds in the past,
pigmentation changes like Melasma caused by hormones or pregnancy, mature
clients with naturally appearing age spots or PIH (post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation.)
​
The Radiate Peel contains:
​
Glycolic Acid 30% - The holy grail of exfoliation, glycolic acid's small
molecules go deep beneath your skin's surface and break down bonds between
dead skin cells. Glycolic acid reveals fresh, glowing skin that's brighter,
smoother and fresher. Glycolic acid can also accelerate skin cell
rejuvenation and can also allow for deeper penetration of other skin care
ingredients. Naturally occurring in sugar cane and is the most efficient of
all the Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
​
Mandelic acid 6% - A alpha hydroxy acid derived from bitter almonds with
clinically proven benefits to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. It
can also improve the viscoelasticity of skin so that it appears tighter and
more youthful. With continued use the signs of ageing may slowly reverse.
The exfoliating action of mandelic acid removes dead skin cells, which can
leave your skin firmer and smoother.
​
Kojic acid 1% - Long celebrated to help lighten sun damage, pigmented age
spots, or scars. Kojic Acid is a natural metabolite produced by fungi that
has the ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity in synthesis of melanin. In
addition, Kojic acid are used as antioxidant anti-proliferative,
anti-inflammatory, agent. The ability to inhibit tyrosinase effects the
production of melanin so that melanogenesis does not occur and pigmentation
in the skin is reduced. Kojic acid also contains some antimicrobial
properties.
​
Arbutin 1% - Generally good for all skin types to help lighten dark spots,
lessen appearance of acne scars and promote an even skin tone. Arbutin is an
ingredient that is obtained from the bearberry plant where it is extracted
from the leaves, although it may also be produced synthetically. It is also
found in wheat, in the leaves of blueberry and cranberry, as well as in the
skin of pear. Similar to hydroquinone and other skin whitening agents,
arbutin works by inhibiting the function and activity of tyrosinase, an
oxidizing enzyme that is responsible for the production of melanin in the
body. It is used to reduce pigmentation in skincare products and has been
shown to be effective in the treatment of pigmented conditions such as
melasma and age spots.
​
Vit C10 Power Product - Our advanced signature Vit C10 serum uses scientific
and evidence-based formulas, offering a daily antioxidant protection. Vit
C10 serum contains stabilised L-ascorbic acid, a form of vitamin C which is
easily and quickly absorbed by the skin for greater potency. This
lightweight serum is designed to target all forms of pigmentation. To
inhibit the production of melanin to leave a lighter, brighter and more even
skin tone. Damaging free radicals will breakdown the collagen and other
important proteins in the skin necessary for good skin health, the Vit C10
will help to fight against these radicals and improve blood flow to the
skin.
​
Skin Types - Uneven skin tone, Photodamaged skin, Acne scarring, Dull skin, Fine lines, Ageing skin.
​
Treatment course - To target the above concerns focusing on discolouration and pigmentation the best course for the client would alternate the skin peels with the Million Dollar Facial to target the pigmentation and anti-ageing plus this will help to thickens the epidermis over time to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries.
The addition of a 15 minute LED Light Therapy (Green) at the end of this treatment can also target the melanin within the skin to help improve pigmentation (+£10).
Adding a Dermaplaning treatment to this peel will greatly increase the effectiveness of the peel due to the removal of excess dead skin cells and vellus hairs (+£20).
- For an extra boost, add an Esthemax Illuminating Orange Peel HydroJelly Face Mask targeted at pigmentation (+£10).
Do note, all skin types and conditions will react differently so a course may need to be amended depending on how quickly the skin responds.
​
Homecare - It is imperative that a client is using homecare when trying to
target uneven skin tone and pigmentation as daily we are exposed to elements
that will counteract this.
