Inno Peel

INNO-PEEL Whitening
Application of this product is exclusively for professional use.
Properties: skin-resurfacing mask composed of active ingredients derived from vitamin A, in addition to other depigmentation agents, antioxidants, and anti-aging. After applying this product we achieve the following processes at histological level: 1.Protein coagulation, 2.Re-epithelization due to keratinocyte migration from margins, 3.Formation of granulation tissue, accumulation cellular compounds (fibronectin, GAG, fibroblasts, etc.). 4.Remodellation of collagen fibres due to keratinocyte migration.
It acts at different levels at cutaneous level: 1. Epidermis: accelerates cell renewal and cell flaking from the corneum layer, facilitating pigmentation elimination. Furthermore, it produces homogenous re-distribution of melanosomas, and reduction of melanin content, since it stimulates its degradation. 2.Dermo-epidermic union: Produces increase in anchorcing fibres and union restoration via collagen fibre remodeling. 3.Dermis: It disperses melanin accumulation.
Primary indication: Melanic pigmentation: acts by reducing basal pigmentation, dispersing the keratinocyte pigment granules, accelerating epidermis turn-over, thus facilitating pigmentation elimination while stimulating melanin degradation.
Secondary indications: Photoaging: diminishes expression lines, medium and superficial wrinkles improving skin luminosity, texture and tone.
Oily skin and acne sequelae: It diminishes seborrheic secretion, improves superficial acne scars, softens white and black heads, pores and expression lines are less prominent, and improves skin structure.
Application protocol: Prior to application, the professional responsible for applying the mask must define: Patient’s skin phototype, pathology to be treated, corneum stratum thickness, dermic area affected and depth to be reached.
Application: A) Skin preparation: 1.Thorough cleansing using a degreasing solution. 2.Apply occlusive product on areas which the abrasive action must not reach. B) Mask application : 1.Apply a uniform layer of product on skin surface to be treated. 2.Apply a thicker layer in those areas deemed to have most alterations. 3.Application time is between 30 minutes and 2 hours, as per skin phototype, indication, area to be treated and the professional’s opinion. 4.After the appropriate time lapse, mask is removed using a mild oily soap.
Counterindications: Active skin infections, known vitamin a allergy, its derivatives or any other active formula ingredients, recent sun exposure, photosensitivity, immediate social engagements, auto-Immune diseases or presence of purpura lesions. Avoid using during pregnancy.
Post-treatment cares: 24h-48h after application, pruritis, erythema, slight inflammation and sensation of taut skin may appear and last for some time. Normally these symptoms are limited to certain areas. Uniform flaking lasting 3-4 days may also occur, after which the skin is fully regenerated. Extreme sun protection, aloe vera repair gel and/or moisturizing cream must be used to compensate possible post-treatment flaking. As home treatment we recommend using a mild soap for cleansing and from day 5 commence application of the inno-peel post treatment cream, essential for obtaining definitive results. One month after the first application it is advisable to stars a new inno-peel whitening treatment to obtain best results possible on the skin
Adverse Reactions: Remember after skin-resurfacing treatment there always exists a minimum risk of rebound hyper or hypopigmentation, which must be immediately treated by the professional. Post-treatment is highly important to minimize said risk.

BIO-C PEEL

Properties: Two step application skin resurfacing solution combining the revitalizing-antiaging action of solution 1.with the antioxidant-regenerating action of solution, 2.its fundamental action is to maintain dermic collagen, acting at fibroblast level, and stimulating synthesis of new collagen types I and II, those encouraging remodelling of existing elastic fibres.
At cutaneous level it exercises its action by reducing and preventing the passing of time signs, stimulating cell regeneration, which protects us from visible signs of aging. Its immediate visible effect is to increase skin resistance and elasticity, re-firming it giving it luminosity.
It smoothes expression lines and superficial wrinkles in addition to helping lighten melanic pigmentations, reducing excess oil in the skin improving the aspect of distension stretch marks.

It’s not magic, it’s BOTOX
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles creating a smoothed, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It’s a simple non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent facial lines that develop over time. One ten minute treatment-a few tiny injections-relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for four months.
The results are dramatic and apparent within days. For many, BOTOX temporarily erases these lines.
BOTOX is the only botulinum toxin in the world registered for the treatment of frown lines and approved by the US FDA. It has been widely tested with 12 years of safe and effective use in hundreds of thousands patients worldwide for various medical uses.

How BOTOX works
Many facial wrinkles occur when we make repeated facial expressions. BOTOX relaxes the tiny facial muscles that cause expression lines, leaving the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled. Once the muscles is relaxed, you cannot contract it and continue to make the undesirable facial expression. Thus the lines gradually smooth out from disuse, and new creases are prevented from forming
BOTOX works on the specific areas treated. Other muscles like those used to raise the eyebrows are not affected so a natural expression is maintained. It will not “freeze” your facial expressions.
It softens them and works where you want it to.

What to expect from the treatment
Your doctor will determine exactly where to use BOTOX to achieve the best results. No anesthetic is required, although your doctor may use ice before injecting. Treatment takes around 10 minutes. A tiny amount of BOTOX is placed in selected facial muscles via tiny injections using a very fine needle. Discomfort is minimal and brief-most patients describe it as an ant bite sting for a few seconds.
Most people resume normal activities immediately. After injection, it takes 2-3 days for BOTOX to begin taking effect and around 7 days to see the full effect.
BOTOX lasts for up to four months, depending on the individual.
You can decide to repeat the procedure as you wish. The result will wear off gradually and expression lines slowly return. To maintain the effect you will require repeat injections 2-3 times a year. Studies show that with repeat BOTOX treatment, the effect can last longer, so you may require less frequent treatment in the future to maintain the result you have come to like
In the amounts used for wrinkle therapy, the most common side effects are temporary and localized to the area of injection. These include soreness or mild bruising, which can be easily covered with makeup, headache, and less commonly, you may develop a heavy eyelid lasting 1-4 weeks which your doctor may be able to treat.
There have been no permanent side effects of BOTOX reported.

BOTOX is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for patients with a neuromuscular disease.

Where can it be used?
BOTOX is used widely for the elimination of:
o Frown lines between the eyebrows
o Horizontal forehead wrinkles
o Crows feet or smile lines around the eyes
It is also being used to lift the eyebrow and open up the eye for a more youthful appearance. Doctors have also reported good results in nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth, perioral lines (“smokers lips”), reducing neck lines and chin dimpling or creasing.
