Microdermabrasion – Dermapod Crystal Type

Obagi Radiance Peel is an ideal treatment for those (whether young or mature) that have acne-prone skin. The unique blend of its key ingredients Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid provides a gentle, but effective peel.

Since salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid) is oil-soluble, it’s capable of penetrating sebum-filled follicles and encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells from within the follicle, ultimately reducing the number of pore blockages and breakouts on the skin. Topically, salicylic acid reduces swelling and redness and helps correct the abnormal desquamation (shedding) process that occurs in acne-prone skin, working to slough away dead skin cells.

Lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), is used as an exfoliant and assists in ungluing and removing the upper layer of skin.

Glycolic Acid, also an AHA, is used to improve the skin’s appearance and texture.

This treatment may cause mild visible flaking of the skin for 3-5 days following your appointment. Your Medical Aesthetics Specialist will provide you with additional guidance regarding the number of peels necessary to achieve the best results, your treatment schedule, and an at-home product regimen that may enhance your outcome.
