What are the skin culture peeling treatments?

The Skin Culture Peels are six-day treatments that help rejuvenate the skin surface. They create an even and controlled shedding of several layers of skin cells. This allows new layers to be exposed and creates a fresh appearance to the skin surface. In addition, new cells and collagen are stimulated, creating a more even skin tone.

What happens during the six day treatment process?

During the 6 days the exclusive and safe formula of the Skin Culture Peel removes the dead skin. On the first day there is a warm sensation and the skin will become slightly tanned. On the second day the skin will feel tight and on the third day the skin will take on a healthy robust look, will be darker in colour and slightly wrinkled. On the 4th, 5th and 6th day peeling starts around the eyes and mouth areas and then the chin, cheeks and forehead. Peeling may continue beyond the 6 days and the complexion will continue to look better as old skin is replaced by a new skin that is tighter, smoother and younger looking. Thick or toughened skin may flake rather than peel. You will still receive good results but a second or stronger peeling may be indicated.

Most people achieve the desired results with a Peel 3000 or Peel 4000 treatment.

How will I know which strength of the six-day treatment to use?

The stronger the treatment you use, the deeper the treatment will penetrate the skin removing more dead skin and the greater the improvement in your appearance.

If my skin is sensitive to everything, will I have any problems using the peel?

If you generally suffer from sensitivity to skin care products then you should first use the Skin Culture Peel Tester to determine whether you are sensitive to any of the ingredients in the peeling treatment.

How long will the results last?

What is the relationship between a skin peel and collagen?

The collagen that is present in the face is lying dormant. When you have a skin peel you increase, excite and stimulate the flow of collagen that is present. This helps to bring about a more youthful looking complexion tone. Also, the increase in the flow of collagen will help to improve the appearance of fine red lines on the nose and face.

In addition to beautifying your complexion a Skin Culture Peel will also improve most skin problems from minor brown spots to spots and acne scarring.
