DERMA-FROST PEEL

​

​

THE JESSNER'S PEEL

 

Jessner’s Peel is a combination of 14% Resorcinol, 14% Lactic and 14% Salicylic Acid. Since resorcinol is a peeling agent, one will experience noticeable peeling or flaking approximately 3 to 4 days after the peel. Resorcinol will increase the amount of peeling experienced after a peel. Peeling is usually light to moderate and depends on the skin condition and depth of the peel.

 

 Extra sun protection with SPF 30+ is essential.

 

DJ CARBONE THERAPY $85

 

Physiological action/effect of CO2 treatment:

 

Face Slimming Effect

One of the major skin elements is called phospholipid which is formed in double layers. CO2 is generated by combining the mask and the gel, and it is absorbed into the phospholipid layers by the defusing de-gassing structure (DDS) CO2 then densifies the tissues by the slimming effects. Effortlessly unlike an exercise to slim, you can easily benefit from the face-slimming effect.

 

Vasovagal Reaction

The vasovagal reaction improves blood circulation of the skin by vitalizing metabolism of the skin cells for healthy skin. Heal the skin is essential to make skin beautiful

 

Anti-Inflammation Effects

Inflammation often results in rough skin. The skin condition can be improved by inhibiting inflammation. Although acne cannot be treated directly by CO2, CO2 can inhibit inflammation and help natural healing.

 

Improving Blood Flow

Red blood cells must reach every part of the capillary vessels around the skin, and blood must flow well to supply oxygen to each and every cell CO2 absorbed into the skin works to purify the blood

 

Bohr Effects

Vitalized metabolism by CO2 is realized by increased oxygen supply from the red blood cells raising the oxygen partial pressure inside the tissue. More oxygen the more active metabolism and stronger the self-renewal hence skin troubles, aging, and scars could be better dealt with CO2 easily reaches blood vessels from the skin, and melts in the blood helping hemoglobin to carry more oxygen to cells.

 

Moisturizing Effects

CO2 GEL Face helps to balance oil and moisture on the skin for ideal skin conditions.

 

Deep Moisturizing & Anti-Ageing Effects

The well-known basis of skin protection is to supply and maintain the moisture of the skin. Supply of moisture to the skin is an absolute essential. Furthermore, keeping the moisture within the horny layers of the skin is very important. The product has been developed especially for use in dry seasons like autumn and winter and for the benefit of those with dry skin. CO2 GEL Face is an excellent product for keeping the balance between oil and moisture. Against phenomenon of facial lines and roughness due to dryness, slowing metabolism and aging, CO2 GEL Face effectively helps revitalize your skin to the healthy condition. CO2 GEL Face acts as prevention of such aging phenomenon.

​

A scientific breakthrough that helps enhance mitochondrial function and restores skins youthful appearance. SWiCH™ Dermal Rejuvenation System - a treatment that performs beyond the results achievable with non-surgical peels. For aging, photo-damaged or environmentally damaged skin.

​

  • Based on a physiological principle of inducing the natural repair system of the skin to become active.

  • Activation of the repair system effects a restoration of both sun damaged skin and intrinsic skin aging changes.

  • Helps induce repair with minimal epidermal damage.

  • Unlike most acid-based treatments, the SWiCH™ System is a leave-on system. The active ingredient remains to provide the continuous treatment for repair and restoration.

  • Treatments can be repeated at regular intervals (every 28 days) without risk of over-treatment.

​

​

The Philosophy behind SWiCH™

​

For over 40 years chemical peeling has been practiced by physicians to rejuvenate sun damaged skin. Both intrinsic and extrinsic aging changes have been the object of many types of skin peeling including chemical, mechanical and thermal modalities. The common thread tying these methods together is the ability of the skin to heal itself when damaged. All of these methods produce some degree of tissue destruction, which incites the natural repair process within the skin. Consistent damage to the epidermis, however, may lead to more serious side effects. In a dermal system that is already overtaxed, the use of these agents creates a greater demand on energy production.

​

With the SWiCH™ System, it is now possible to achieve repair of the skin without having to induce tissue damage. The body’s repair systems, including that in the skin, are held in a ready state at all times. Understanding what is needed to trigger the system is the key to the efficacy of the SWiCH™ System.

​

Any repair system requires a large input of energy. Biologically this is in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. This energy source is generated by a natural cycle as part of the metabolism of food. For the SWiCH™ system to be effective the active ingredients must penetrate into the skin. Next, the repair mechanism must be switched on and the energy supplied – just as you flip a light switch to supply electrical energy to a bulb. The three parts of the SWiCH™ System are (1) effect penetration, (2) generate energy and (3) turn on the repair system.
