A Gentle Approach to Skin Renewal

The GentlePeel technique relies on the delivery of minute aluminum oxide crystals to the surface of the skin. These particles gently remove layers of the epidermis as the operator moves the handpiece across the surface of the skin. The GentlePeel unit is the only system of its kind that uses sophisticated electronics to control critical aspects of the treatment.

Healing time is rapid, with minimal discomfort and redness. Most people return to work immediately with nothing more than a vibrant, healthier-looking complexion that appears free from the ravages of sun, wind, and environmental abuse.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion renews the skin’s tone and texture using a device that gently sands the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This process helps to rejuvenate the skin by reducing the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin conditions. By using a special applicator with an abrasive surface, microdermabrasion exfoliates the outer layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin health and appearance.

Some devices spray fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to achieve the same effect. The treatment is safe for most skin types and colors and is relatively quick, making it a popular choice for those looking for visible yet non-surgical skin improvements.

How GentlePeel Works

The normal course of the GentlePeel program varies between four and six treatments at two-week intervals. After this initial course of treatment, we recommend that you schedule an additional treatment every two to three months to maintain the excellent condition of your skin.

This continued regimen of skin care is important. As you get older, it is more difficult for your skin to regenerate, and cell renewal is considerably slower. The appearance of aging skin can impact younger individuals, not just those in their middle or later years.

There is no age restriction for GentlePeel treatments since the technique can assist with the prevention of problems of young skin as well as enhance the appearance of aging skin.
