Biomedic Micropeel

The three-step process removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. This layer of skin consists of clogged pores that obstruct the development of healthy, beautiful skin

What are lactic and glycolic acids?
Lactic and glycolic acids are naturally occurring alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) found in fruits and other foods. AHAs are used in formulations to exfoliate or shed the surface skin. The extent of exfoliation depends on the type and concentration of the AHA. At high concentration s, AHAs function as peeling agents, which act more rapidly, and at a deeper level.

What happens during the MicroPeel?

  1. First, dead cellular layers are removed by dermaplaning, a technique popularized by BioMedic since (1999) or Pure Enzyme, a unique papaya-based mask. A change in skin texture can be felt right away.
  2. Next, an (AHA) acid solution is applied to the skin. A slight stinging sensation may occur but it is only momentary. After the desired level of exfoliation is reached, the solution is neutralized. This step helps free pores of impacted debris.
  3. The final step is a skin freezing process called Cryogenic Therapy. Carbon dioxide is applied to the face lightly which relieves inflammation and cools the skin, leaving the skin feeling "baby soft."

Biomedic Micropeel Plus

An in-office procedure that will smooth fine lines and help even skin discoloration while reducing acne breakout, the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage to the skin. The BioMedic MicroPeel Plus aggressively outperforms other superficial chemical peels without damaging the skin. This treatment is designed to refine skin texture damage by environmental factors and skin conditions such as acne. Available in two concentrations of salicylic acid 20% and 30%, this procedure allows you to tailor your treatment to fit your skin type and long term goals.

What is salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxyl acid, is found naturally in willow bark, wintergreen leaves, and sweet birch bark, Formulations containing high concentrations of salicylic acid help slough off dead skin cells and debris while stimulating the skins natural renewal processes.

What happens during the BioMedic MicroPeel Plus?
After cleansing the skin with a gentle cleanser, salicylic acid of 20% or 30% is applied to the face and neck. You will experience some stinging and burning. Once the optimal level of salicylic acid has been deposited, the discomfort will peak then diminish and the solution automatically becomes inactive. The skin is then gently rinsed.

What you can experience after a BioMedic MicroPeel Plus?
For approximately one week, your skin will undergo the renewal process, shedding its dead outer layer. Depending on your skin you may not experience peeling. If peeling occurs, it usually begins 2-4 days following your treatment and lasts for approximately 3 days, leaving the skin brighter and softer.

A follow-up visit 7 – 14 days is necessary to achieve full benefits of your procedure.
