How it works:

The mechanism of action of an algae peel involves several key processes that work together to rejuvenate the skin:

• Exfoliation: The peel contains gentle exfoliating agents such as enzymes or mild natural acids that break down and remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This process helps to unclog pores, smooth the skin’s texture, and improve overall skin tone.
• Detoxification: Algae extracts in the peel have detoxifying properties that help draw out impurities and toxins from the skin, reducing congestion and minimizing the risk of breakouts.
• Nourishment: Algae are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which nourish the skin and provide essential nutrients for optimal skin health. These nutrients can help repair damage, boost collagen production, and promote a more radiant complexion.
• Hydration: Some algae extracts, like seaweed extract, are known for their hydrating properties. They help to replenish moisture in the skin, keeping it plump, supple, and well-hydrated.
• Stimulation of Cell Renewal: Certain compounds in algae extracts can stimulate cell turnover and renewal, encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a youthful glow.

How to Prepare for your Treatment:

Because peels work by removing a layer of skin, any treatments that leave your skin more sensitive can lead to discomfort or other complications. Treatments to avoid include:

• Facial Treatments: Electrolysis/ Laser treatments/ Chemical peels
• Waxing/ Tweezing
• Products with AHA’s, BHA’s, glycolic acid, retinol, irritants, strong acids

What to expect:

• During the procedure:
  • Your therapist will apply a barrier gel to the sensitive areas of the skin.
  • The liquid peel is then massaged over the surface over the face for 5-15minutes
  • The skin can become quite hot, sensitive and may tingle or sting a bit – this is normal and a sign it’s working.
  • At the end of the allotted time the peel will be washed off.
  • The treated area should not be washed again for at least 12 hours.

• After the procedure:
  • Use only products provided and a sunscreen of SPF 50 for the first 5 days.
  • Redness, heat, excessive dryness, tight feeling, stinging, prickling and itching may occur for 24-72 hours after the treatment.
  • You may apply the soothing gel provided to calm these effect
  • Visible peeling may persist for up to 5 days (depending on the condition of your skin)

• Side Effects:
  • Swelling, redness, itching, drying out of the skin, flaking, frosting, peeling and temporary darkening.
  • When used for the treatment of acne and scars, it can also cause the temporary increase in the number of spots. This is because the process opens up the pores releasing the acne causing bacteria thus leading to a sudden increase in acne. However, this is not a serious matter to worry about as the acne soon disappears.
