What Is The Deep Sea Herbal Peel?

CosMedix Deep Sea Herbal Peel is medium-depth, acid-free peel. A potent, non-acid peel that uses sea herbs and plant extracts to help generate collagen and stimulate deeper changes in the skin. Effective at treating all skin conditions, including melasma / hyperpigmentation, acne, skin impurities, mild acne scarring, environmental / sun damage, premature aging, fine lines, wrinkles and helps to improve skin circulation. The Deep Sea can also be used on the body to treat stretch marks and cellulite. Unlike traditional chemical peels that use acids to exfoliate the skin, the CosMedix Deep Sea Peel is free-from all acids. Instead of using acids to dissolve the intercellular bonds between skin cells and exfoliate the skin, it uses Coral and Seaweed Extract to stimulate immense activity and renewal within the skin. Improving blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin and assist in renewal.

How Does The Deep Sea Herbal Peel Work?

The CosMedix Deep Sea Herbal Peel lifts the epidermis to promote shedding and removal of old, damaged skin cells. The combined action of friction and marine silicates causes a micro-trauma skin and promotes the natural rejuvenation process. As excess skin is sloughed off, the skin naturally replenishes moistures levels, renews collagen synthesis and improves overall epidermal structure. Although it's classed a "peel" treatment, the modality in the way it works is much closer to micro-needling than a chemical peel. Although it causes a peel effective, the stimulation is causes by physical micro-trauma to the skin. Microscopic silicates puncture the skin causing micro-trauma, which ignites a strong vascular and inflammatory response within the skin. Even after the peel is removed the silicates remain in the epidermis. After treatment the the skin can feel a little sensitised for a few days, so it's not recommended for clients with sensitive skin. The sensation has been described as "broken glass" in the skin (only when touched). Over the course a few days the silicates dry the epidermis out and the skin starts to shed. One of the great things about this peel is the improve volume in the skin. This is not something that is generally associated with peels, but look at the increase in dermal integrity and fullness in the before and after below after only one treatment (no filler or filter has been used). deep sea herbal peel results
