Skin Treatment-Vitamin C Micro Peel

The Environ Vitamin C Micro Peel is designed to exfoliate and brighten the skin using a combination of ingredients, with vitamin C being the hero ingredient.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to brighten the skin, even out tone, and promote collagen production. In the micro peel, vitamin C helps to enhance the skin’s radiance and improve its overall appearance.

Vitamin C also provides antioxidant protection, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation, which can lead to premature aging and damage.

Other ingredient properties also include gentle exfoliators to remove dead skin cells and promoting cellular turnover as well as hydrating ingredients to help maintain the skin’s moisture balance, preventing dryness and promoting a plump, supple complexion resulting in smoother, more radiant skin,

The Environ Vitamin C Micro Peel is perfect if you’re looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin, particularly those concerned with pigmented  and sun damaged skin, dullness, uneven tone, and signs of aging. This peel utilizes vitamin C, a potent antioxidant known for its ability to brighten skin, promote collagen production, and protect against environmental damage

While the Environ Vitamin C Micro Peel can be beneficial for many individuals, there are certain contraindications and precautions to consider before undergoing the treatment:

1. Open Wounds or Active Skin Infections: If you have open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or active skin infections should avoid undergoing a micro peel until the skin has fully healed. Applying the peel to compromised skin can cause irritation, discomfort, and potentially worsen the condition.

2. Recent Facial Waxing or Hair Removal Treatments: Avoid undergoing a micro peel immediately after facial waxing or hair removal treatments, as the skin may be more sensitive and prone to irritation. Waiting one week before proceeding with the peel can help minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

3. Sunburn or Recent Sun Exposure: Sunburned skin or significant sun exposure is already inflamed and sensitized, and applying a peel can exacerbate discomfort and potentially cause further damage. Treatment should be avoided until the skin has fully healed.

4. Recent Chemical Peels or Exfoliating Treatments: Over-exfoliation can compromise the skin’s barrier function and lead to irritation. The skin needs to fully recover if you’ve recently undergone a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, or other exfoliating treatments.

5. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: While vitamin C is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing any skincare treatments, including micro peels. Some individuals may prefer to avoid certain ingredients or procedures during this time.

6. Allergic Reactions: If you have a known allergy or sensitivity it’s important to highlight these prior to treatment so that the ingredient list can be checked carefully to ensure it is safe to perform. In particular, those allergic to salicylic acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) are not suitable for Vitamin C Micro Peels

7. Skin Disorders or Conditions: Certain skin disorders or conditions, such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or dermatitis, can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation, and the peel may exacerbate symptoms. The Vitamin C micro peel is not suitable for acne prone skin.

The Environ Vitamin C Micro Peel works through a combination of exfoliating and brightening ingredients, with the hero ingredients being Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Salicylic Acid, both playing a prominent role.  Whilst they perform different functions they’re the perfect pair to ultimately work to improve skin clarity, tone and radiance

The salicylic acid is an exfoliating agent that works to gently loosen and remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This exfoliation process helps to improve skin texture, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover. 

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to brighten the skin, even out tone, and promote collagen production. It also provides antioxidant protection, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors and free radicals that can contribute to premature aging and damage.  The Vitamin C is freshly mixed before application to ensure optimal freshness and efficacy.

The sensation experienced during an Environ Vitamin C Micro Peel can vary depending on individual skin sensitivity.  When the peel is first applied to the skin, you may experience a slight tingling or warming sensation. This is attributed to the exfoliating agents and active ingredients in the peel working to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Those with sensitive skin may feel this sensation more intensely than others.

As the peel sits on the skin, you may continue to feel a mild tingling or warmth however this typically subsides after a few minutes as the skin adjusts to the product. If you experience any discomfort or irritation during the treatment, it’s essential to communicate with your skincare professional and rinse off the peel immediately.

After the peel is removed , you will notice that your skin feels smoother and looks brighter. Some individuals may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately following the treatment, especially if they have sensitive or reactive skin however this typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

Pre-care:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for one week before your scheduled treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin is more sensitive.

2. Discontinue Certain Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of any skincare products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other exfoliating agents for three days before the procedure, as they can increase skin sensitivity.

3. Let Us Know: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any active skin conditions, infections, recent cosmetic procedures or other contraindications in the treatment area, don’t forget to let us know so we can reschedule or postpone your treatment.

Post-care:

1. Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your skin gently with a mild, non-irritating cleanser for the first 24 to 48 hours following the treatment. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleansers that could further irritate the skin.

2. Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to the treated area to soothe and hydrate the skin. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and soothing botanical extracts.  Avoid use of topical products containing AHAs, BHAs and Retinols, for three (3) days post treatment

3. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen , even on cloudy days. Try to avoid direct sunlight and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors.

4. Use Mineral Makeup:  Mineral makup is lighter and more breathable than traditional makeup as well as being non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.  This is particularly important after a peel when your skin can be more sensitive and prone to breakouts. 

5. Stay Hydrated and Maintain Healthy Habits: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants to promote overall skin health.

6. Follow-Up Treatments: Schedule your next treatment to achieve optimal results

A course of three to six treatments at four-week intervals is recommended for optimum results however the number and intervals of treatments will be considered based on your unique skin condition and concerns.
