Chemical peeling

‘The peel that doesn’t peel’

Chemical peeling is one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures all over the Word

While traditional approaches to skin peeling are based on the destruction of the skin cells, this could be dangerous because they are

• uncomfortable
• the healing process is slow
• can result in inflammatory scarring
• can result in hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation
• can result in bacterial infections
• can result in permanent scarring

Environ believes that heavy peeling is overvalued.

“Environ has been the lone voice in the wilderness of peeling systems. For nearly 20 years I have insisted that there are major problems with the standard peeling systems used around the world. I learned the hard way that peeling can be dangerous and that is why I modified my attitude to peeling.” shares Dr. Des Fernandes, Environ Founder and Scientific Director.

Environ’s philosophy to peels is its ‘kind to skin’ and barrier-protecting approach– it is also known as ‘the peel that doesn’t peel.’ There is a ‘sweet spot’ where the acid will stress the keratinocytes in the skin just enough without killing them in order to stimulate the cells to release various growth factors, without stripping or irritating the skin, allowing for minimal downtime. These growth factors plump and rejuvenate skin, promoting new collagen and elastin production.

The result?

A more youthful, thicker, healthier, tighter and smoother-looking skin.

This unique approach is a non-invasive intelligent skin peeling system developed by Dr Des Fernandes to safely and effectively help refine, revive and brighten skin. Environ’s new TCA cool peel:

• Includes a low percentage of acid combined with a low pH
• Uses a self-neutralising acid, functioning only on the surface of the skin
• Is safe and offers minimal downtime
• Uses slow-drying gels and creams
• Is a safe and pleasant experience
• Accelerates growth factors in the skin to reveal
• smoother-looking, brighter, youthful-looking complexion
• Environ recommends a course of 6-12 peel treatments for optimal results, however, visible results can already be noticed after one treatment.

What is TCA?

Trichloroacetic acid is a man-made acid that comes in many different percentages and pHs for use in cosmetic and medical skin peels.

Environ’s TCA peel is a cosmetic chemical peel performed to treat a wide range of skin problems

• Visible signs of ageing
• Photodamage
• Acne
• Rosacea
• Scarring

Environ’s low-acid peeling stimulates the keratinocytes to release Growth Factors.

Different Types of Growth Factors do different jobs

Epidermal Growth Factor pumps and volumise the skin

Vascular Growth Factor is antiinflammatory and reduces redness

Fibroblast Growth Factor activates fibroblast in the dermis and thus will result in collagen production

Environ’s Cool Peel Technology works in synergy with our ethos of creating healthy skin by nourishing the skin with vitamins, and antioxidants and protecting with sunscreen.

It is essential to prepare the skin with Environ’s vitamin A moisturisers for a minimum of 3 weeks prior to peeling.
