Real Health & Aesthetics: A skin Journey to beautiful skin: chemical peels

 Chemical peeling is an aesthetic treatment that involves the careful exfoliation of the skin using an acid. The acid removes a uniform amount of damaged skin cells across the treatment area. When carried out appropriately, this allows the skin to heal, with minimal scarring or colour changes as a result of the treatment.

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that can reduce sign of aging, acne, scarring, wrinkles, and sun damage to give the skin a clearer appearance. They affect two layers of the skin the epidermis and the dermis 40% peels are great for obvious signs of ageing. These peels work superficially into the epidermis.

The series name ‘AMESON’ comes from the Greek word ‘AMESOS’ (i.e. immediately), which indicates their commitment to skin care based on aesthetic medicine and to offering IMMEDIATE results. AMESON MESOPEEL is a professional chemical peeling system based on organic acids aimed at rejuvenating, regenerating, hydrating, normalising, activating or enhancing the skin. There are many types and varieties of chemical peels, grouped and defined by strength and depth of the peel that is achieved.

 The AMESON range of superficial peels, which are the mildest peels. 

We can group the peels into two categories: AHA and BHA. The main difference between them is that BHA’s are oil soluble and AHA is water soluble. Oil soluble makes this acid very effective in cleaning and removing bacteria, dead skin cells and sebum oil from deep inside the pores. 

They would be more suitable for an oily/congested skin due to it being oil soluble, this type of peel can reach into clear excess oil and loosens the dead surface layers. These peels have minimal healing or downtime.  

Organic Acids

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are organic molecules, whose action depends on their chemical structure, concentration and PH. The AHAs used in the AMESON MESOPEEL series include mandelic acid, lactic acid and glycolic acid.

Laboratory and clinical studies have identified and proven the results of their action on the horny layer and dermis.

In particular, AHAs:

• Normalise the keratinisation process, thus restoring the epidermis normal rhythms.

• Activate the skin's rejuvenation process, increasing collagen and elastin production.

• Hydrate the skin.

• In synergy, enhance the action of other active components.

BHA & AZA:

The action of beta hydroxy acid (BHA), salicylic acid – which, as a keratolytic agent, has a potent exfoliating, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action – and azelaic acid’s action (AZA)

is similar.

Thanks to the specific organic acids used, their concentration in combination with the pH of the peeling products, as well as the targeted application protocols, the AMESON MESOPEEL

series is superior when it comes to meeting the needs and addressing the problems of different skin types, under different climatic conditions.

AHA Alpha Hydroxy Acids

• Mandelic - acid found in bitter almonds
• Glycolic - acid derived from sugar cane
• Lactic - acid derived from milk

BHA Beta Hydroxy Acids

• Salicylic acid - Bark of the willow tree

    Skin Peels for skin conditions

• Hyperpigmentation: glycolic acid and mandelic acid
• Rosacea: lactic acid and mandelic acid
• Acne: salicylic acid, glycolic acid (for scarring) and salicylic azelaic
• Aging skin: lactic acid, mandelic acid and glycolic acid.

Ameson Mesopeel products, specifically those targeting acne-prone skin, are carefully formulated with an optimal pH level to enhance their deliverability.

• Skin Compatibility: Ameson Mesopeel products are designed with a pH level that falls within a safe and effective range for skin treatments. For example, a pH level of 3.5, which is commonly found in their peels, ensures that the product is sufficiently acidic to provide deep exfoliation while being gentle enough to avoid damaging the skin barrier.
• Effectiveness: The slightly acidic pH of Ameson Mesopeel products, such as the ones containing salicylic acid, enhances their ability to penetrate the skin. This increased penetration allows the active ingredients to work more effectively, targeting acne at its source by exfoliating dead skin cells, regulating oil production, and reducing inflammation.
• Balance and Safety: Maintaining a pH level around 3.5 is crucial for balancing effectiveness with skin safety. Ameson Mesopeels formulations are designed to be potent enough to deliver visible results, such as clearer and smoother skin, while still being mild enough to prevent irritation and preserve the skin’s natural balance.
