Lamelle Medical Peels

What are Lamelle Medical Peels?

As we age, our imperfections turn into multi-layered problems and sometimes current options do not address all these problems. Lamelle Peels address these problems which are typically customized for each client after an initial analysis.

• All skin types can be treated

What preparation of the skin is needed prior to an exfoliation procedure?

After your initial consultation, you will be given a Brightening cream such as Luminesce which must be applied to the entire face daily for ten to 14 days before the peeling process can begin. This down regulates 6 enzyme pathways that produces melanin and will prevent the possibility of post inflammatory pigmentation PIH that can occur after any exfoliation procedure.

Properties and benefits of Luminesce:

• This wider inhibitory effect is an industry first, positioning the Luminesce range as one of the most innovative.
• Lamelle uses groundbreaking peptide technology (Oligopeptide 34) for treating pigmentation and has recently added 3 new peptides to the program which offers excellent results in combating epidermal age spots and post inflammatory hyper- pigmentation ( PIH).
• An added benefit is that the combination of peptides used in the range offers anti-ageing benefits to the skin as they stimulate collagen producing cells.
• Luminesce used twice daily for 8 weeks will reduce the appearance of age spots and is safe for use on all skin types unlike traditional skin lightening cosmeceutical products as well as prescription medications
• These traditional products try combating age spots with disappointing results or worse - cause hypersensitive skin, which in turn aggravates the pigmentation
