Skin Care, Peels & Microdermabrasion

CosMedix’s innovative, non-traumatic peels succeed by stimulating gentle, healthy change deep in the skin to create a
beautiful, renewed complexion.  You will achieve maximum results with minimum downtime.

What is a Peel?  A peel regenerates the skin, often making it smoother with fewer wrinkles.  The procedure is
sometimes used on other parts of the body, including the neck and hands.

How are the CosMedix peels different?  Traditional chemical peels typically consist of chemical solutions applied to the
skin to form flakes or blisters that eventually peel off.  This painful, old technology process destroys healthy tissue,
forcing the body to heal itself.  CosMedix’s chirally correct, non-traumatic peels succeed by stimulating healthy change.  
The soothing collagen therapy enhances skin’s appearance resulting in a beautiful, renewed complexion.

What does “Chirally Correct” mean?  Chirally correct chemical peels are associated with better ingredients, less
downtime and fewer unfavorable side effects than other chemical peels.  No anesthesia is required for chirally correct
peels, and they are safe enough to be repeated bi-monthly.

What kinds of conditions can peels help?  Peels are often used to treat:  Acne, Aging skin, dull, weathered skin,
excessive sebatic oils, post acne scarring, blackheads and whiteheads, blotchy pigmentation, stretch marks, sun spots,
dark skin discoloration, wrinkles, scarring (non-keloidal scars)

What kind of skin peels are there?  Gates of Pearl offers CosMedix skin peels.  CosMedix offers Correct Peels
categorized as “Today’s Peels” and “Tomorrow’s Peels.”

Today’s peels use natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) to freshen and exfoliate the skin
by removing dead cells in order to promote new cell growth.  These peels can be used without any prior preparation of
the skin.

Tomorrow’s peels, designed to correct the damage done yesterday, are stronger treatments that go deeper and make
the skin look tighter and smoother.  The skin needs 10 to 30 days advance preparation prior to application.

What are my next steps?  When considering chemical peels it is important to speak to a licensed professional trained at
these types of treatments.  You and s doctor /skin care professional can determine if chemical peels are right for you.
