Skin Renewal Tip

Unfortunately "Perfect skin" has not been handed out by nature - it has to be bought and this usually comes at a price. No matter how great your skin is at 25, the inevitable age spots, pigmentation marks, red blemishes and sagging will slowly leave their marks on one's face by the time one reaches 35. At Skin Renewal we have recognized this problem and have come up with a customized solution to make it more affordable for the average person by combining our signature laser treatment 3 D Skin Rejuvenation™ in an affordable package over a period of time.

10
What preparation of the skin is needed prior to a 3D Peel procedure?
Read More
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 pigment inhibiting products:
- 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.
- These traditional products try combating age spots with disappointing results or worse - cause hypersensitive skin, which in turn aggravates the pigmentation
11
Can 3D Peel be combined with other treatments?

Read More
3D Peels are mid dermal peels and are not combined with other treatments unless 6 weeks of recovery and healing has taken place.

As an aesthetic clinic we offer anti ageing treatments and problem specific laser and light treatments as an addition to our 3D Peel to ensure amazing results. For maximal benefit, 1 to 2 in-office professional 3D Peel every 4-6 weeks should be performed to keep the skin continuously rejuvenated and to remove difficult to treat dermal melasma. If you feel that your skin requires more intensive treatments please schedule an appointment with the aesthetic doctor to determine which medical aesthetic treatment should be prescribed.

3D Peel ® peels can be performed 4 weeks after injectable treatments and fillers. There are numerous treatments that can be combined with 3D Peel but a period of waiting (4 to 6 weeks) is recommended before proceeding with other anti ageing combination treatments such as 3 D Skin Rejuvenation™, Carboxytherapy, Skin Tightening treatments and laser and light treatments.
