Chemical peels have always been a popular choice of treatment for patients as they are generally minimally invasive, offer a wide range of benefits and truly complement many different skin care concerns.
mesoestetic® mesopeel® formulas have and always will be a cut above the rest as they prioritise more than just ingredient selection. There are quite a few considerations to take into account when choosing to work with chemical peels:
- The base formula consists of active ingredients suspended in a gel, liquid, or cream formulation. This not only influences the rate of absorption and the application method but also impacts the duration of exposure. The ease of removal varies, which in some cases could prolong the exposure time, affecting the overall effectiveness of the product.
- mesoestetic® has different base formulas suited to the peel type and outcome expected, for instance cosmelan® is in a cream base, mesopeel® melanoplus touch in a liquid base, and mesopeel® MD oxyage in a gel base.
- Stability of the acids: acidic ingredients are notoriously unstable and prone to oxidation so the packaging in which the peels are suspended could affect the efficacy of the ingredients even before their expiry date.
- mesoestetic® new packaging offers a fatter and thicker amber-coloured bottle which will ensure your chemical peels stay stable for longer and maintain their efficacy better.
- pH: the pH of the peel controls the speed and depth at which the peel is capable of penetrating. This will ultimately affect the efficacy of the peel and also the downtime experienced by the patient who is receiving the peel. Each mesopeel® has a carefully crafted pH which supports the function of that particular peel taking into consideration the acids used and the depth of penetration we are aiming for.
Generally, certain acids will penetrate faster than others and when you understand the benefits of these acids, it makes it easy to understand how to utilise the mesopeel® MD line to their best advantage.
In the next couple of months we will be exploring each peel according to their indication. We will delve deeper into the science and clinical data behind the efficacy of our peels and how you can utilise them best to get incredible results.
We hope you join us on this journey of discovering everything you ever wanted to learn about chemical peels!
