Peels

Alpha-Beta Peels
Salicylic Acid can be used in conjunction with Glycolic Acid to provide an extremely effective skin exfoliation and skin peel rejuvenation treatment. For regular skin care maintenance this typically involves first applying a 2% or 5% Salicylic Exfoliator to the skin and rinsing with tepid water and then applying a Glycolic Acid exfoliator of around 10%. After rinsing the Glycolic Acid you should apply the Hyaluronic Moisturizer and any other anti-aging treatments such as Vitamin C and SPF as required. This procedure can be performed several times per week although if redness or irritation appear do give your skin a break from exfoliation and skin peels. The results from performing this skin care procedure are definitely remarkable and you will wonder how you survived without it.

Performing a peel is done much the same way as described above except that peels are done at least ever 2 weeks apart. A popular treatment is to use a low strength Alpha-Beta system daily and a higher strength Alpha-Beta peel system bi-monthly.

Glycolic Peels
Glycolic Acids are Alpha Hydroxy Acids used to rejuvenate the skin and create a younger and fimer appearance. You can obtain skin care salon quality results with high concentration low pH unbuffered Glycolic Acid for a quality effective Alpha Hydroxy skin peel. Glycolic Acid thoroughly exfoliates, and stimulates new skin cell & collagen production leaving facial skin firmer and younger appearance. Glycolic Peels all have a pH level of 2.2.

Glycolic 30% pH2 - Medically formulated to increase cell turnover rate. Not for sensitive or cuprous skin.

Glycolic 40% pH3 - Formulated to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. PH balance for milder peel.

Salicylic Peels
Salicylic Resurfacing can add a new dimension to the treatment of oily, congested skin types. Salicylic has proven effective at reducing oil production and bringing latent blemishes to the surface so they can be properly cleared.

The Salicylic Peel is a Beta Hydroxy Acid peel which gives a dramatic skin peel. The results are excellent when the 2% or 5% are applied daily and the higher strength peels are applied every 2-3 weeks. The Salicylic Peel is appropriate for all skin types including combination and oily skin and acneic skin. Salicylic Peels are an will also improve the results of your Glycolic or Lactic Peel treatment.

When left on the skin for only 1-2 minutes (refer to instructions when performing a peel) peeling, redness and down-time varies from 0 to 3 days. Aproximately 5 days after performing a peel the skin appears rejuvenated and more youthful looking.

Lactic Peels
Lactic acid, a non-toxic substance derived naturally from milk, has been proven effective at smoothing out fine lines and regenerating mature, sun-damaged yet sensitive skin.

Lactic Acid is a non-irritating rapid exfoliator. Lactic Acid is recommended for those that are new to peel and exfoliating agents in skin care products, as well as those that have used other exfoliators for a long period and want to improve results.

Lactic Acid is a naturally occurring human metabolite, and combined with the chemical free style of CFP products there is less potential for allergic reaction with this type of acid peel. Lactic Acid is said to be less harsh and more moisturizing than Glycolic Acid skin peels.

Jessner’s Peel (w Resorcinol)
The combination of Salicylic acid, Lactic acid, and Resorcinol is formulated to exfoliate the skin resulting in the destruction of the upper layers of the epidermis.

Eye Treatment - Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance that's present in every tissue of the body, with highest concentration in connective tissues (such as the skin and cartilage). Hyaluronic acid assists with moisture retention, binding water molecules to cells for enhanced lubrication, cushioning and support. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain moisture and promotes natural rejuvenation, while also contributing to the restoration of viscoelasticity and reduction of sun-induced damage (including wrinkles) to the skin. It's also believed to support improved overall skin appearance.
