Neostrata for your Aesthetic Practice

Neostrata is an award winning cosmeceutical brand of skincare products, designed specifically for use in medical aesthetic clinics. Neostrata incorporates active and patented ingredients  and are all glycolic acid based,  so therefore have an effect on both the surface of the skin as well as the deeper layers of the epidermis.

Why do we favour Neostrata as a cosmeceutical brand?

The beauty of the Neostrata products is the wide range of inidividual products available. These products have been seperated into 6 ranges; Skin Active, Resurface, Restore, Refine, Enlighten and Targeted Treatments each designed for specific skin concerns. They have effects on tone, texture and pigmentation, and as a result can be used for many different purposes; including anti-ageing, sun damage and pigmentation. Neostrata has historical, clinical and technological data to back up their claims and is also licensed to many big names including Allergan, depicting the quality of the ingredients and products.

Neostrata Facial Skin Peels

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the condition and the texture of the skin by removing the outer epidermal layers in order to rejuvenate and refresh the complexion. Peels can vary in strength; from 20%, 35%, 50% and 70% are all available. Neostrata consists of three targeted boosters – brightening for pigmentation, clarifying for ageing and acne; and rejuvenating for ageing and skin texture. Neostrata skin peels will only stay on the skin for a maximum of seven minutes but can reach the deeper layers of the stratum corneum. It is a fast and safe effective procedure that will reach deeper than any home skincare products.

The Neostrata skin peel can:

  • Coagulate proteins in the skin
  • Exfoliate
  • Decrease Pore size
  • Black head removal
  • Treat dry, flaky skin
  • Brigten dull, dehydrated skin
  • Increase luminosity
  • Increase cell turnover
  • Even out pigment
  • Increase collagen fibre
  • Enhance clarity
  • Improve elastic fibres
  • Increase dermal thickness
  • Help to plump and firm as well as reducing wrinkles

The Neostrata skin peel can also be used in conjunction with microdermabrasion and dermaroller and in fact our Neostrata skin peel training course covers the use of microdermabrasion as well as the chemical peels for skin rejuvenation. Chemical peels are a non-invasive non-surgical treatment that are becoming increasingly popular and with good reason. Facial peels are a popular procedure for clients who have not had non-surgical procedures before, and so a good way to entice potential clients to your practice and an ideal way of introducing them to other non-surgical procedures that may benefit them. This quick and easy procedure is highly effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types including even the most sensitive skin.

Combined Skin Peel Training & Microdermabrasion

As Cosmetic Courses get ready to unveil their brand new Combined Agera Chemical Skin Peel & Microdermbarasion Training Courses, Medical Aesthetician and Trainer Fleur Nichols provides an overview of these exciting skin treatments:

Agera Chemical Skin Peels (in Partnership with Eden Aesthetics)

 

“Everybody can benefit from having a skin peel as Agera peels are at a basic level to exfoliate, decongest, remove dryness and help neutralize any little breakouts!

The Agera peels are effective, non-aggressive peels developed by leading scientists and Doctors. Using a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid and l-ascorbic acid, we can treat different skin types and conditions.

Due to the low PH levels of these peels, we are able to treat the skin from the lower epidermal levels and up which basically means we can minimize irritation, redness and down time!

A course of Agera peels can gain fantastic results for those suffering from acne, congested problematic skin, fine lines and open pores plus help reduce pigmentation and sun-damage.”

Medical Microdermabrasion

 

“Microdermabrasion is a very popular non-surgical resurfacing procedure. It is safe, painless, effective and results can been seen after just one treatment!

Using a controlled flow of medical grade crytals and a vacuum, we remove the outer dead layer of skin cells which, if allowed to build up, make our skin look dry, congested and dull. The vacuum stimulates and invigorates the blood circulation to brighten your complexion.

At Cosmetic Courses, we have the unique option to combine Microdermabrasion and Agera Chemical Skin Peel training into one session to really enhance the results you can provide.”

What You Should Know About At – Home Chemical Peel Kits

It’s not that you can’t see results with at-home microdermabrasion kits, but for those who prefer a more amazing treatment, a home chemical peel provides a more intense alternative. A kit that allows you to do your own treatments from the comfort of your home is an easy way to help improve the look and feel of your skin, but always remember that these kits must be used safely and correctly. A chemical peel works its way deep into the layers of your skin and can aid in reducing many imperfections that lie under your skin. This can help improve imperfections such as:

  • Acne Scars
  • Wrinkles
  • Skin Patches
  • Fine Lines
  • Enlarged Pores

There are many at-home chemical peel kits available on the market today. The difference in these kits are the groups of chemical acids that are used. The most common types of acids that can be found in home chemical peel kits include:

  • Salicylic Acid
  • Glycolic acid
  • Lactic acid
  • Trichloroethanoic Acid (TCA)

The more you learn about each type of these acids and the type of skin problems each is used for can better prepare you for choosing the right at-home chemical peel for your needs. Salicylic acid is most commonly used as an anti-acne treatment. Glycolic acid is effective for removing dead skin cells and increasing your skin’s rejuvenation rate. Lactic acid is known as a chemical that is effective as an anti-aging treatment. TCA has proven to be an effective ingredient that can be used to treat a number of skin problems, proving effective for acne treatment, scarring, wrinkles, and a number of other skin-related problems.

When you find an at-home chemical peel kit that best suits your needs, it is important to perform the procedure correctly. All makeup should be removed and the area that is going to be treated should be cleaned well. It is recommended to use an astringent lotion to help purify the skin. Follow the directions and apply only the exact amount of treatment that is recommended. You should then apply the peeling acid with a brush to help avoid the area around your lips, nose, and eyes. Once you peel the solution from the skin you will need to wait for the chemical to take action, which will usually be around five minutes.

Remove any excess peeling cream with a napkin and then use warm water to wash your face. You will then want to use a clean, delicate cloth to dry your face. To ensure the hydration of your skin, you will then want to use a post-peeling cream. This procedure can be done twice in a week, with a break of one month recommended before using the chemical peel again.

These at home chemical peel treatments have risen in popularity as they are a more affordable solution to professional dermatological services. However, it may be a good idea to check with your dermatologist to get advice on what might be the best at home chemical peel kit for your needs.

Wrinkle Creams Versus Chemical Peels

If you keep up with beauty product trends, you’re likely aware of the big debate: Chemical peel or wrinkle cream? Many people mistakenly believeChemical Peels that the chemical peel is the answer to all their problems. Someone reading this is probably contemplating a chemical peel right now. Before you do, give wrinkle creams a fair chance to make their case. In the end, it could save you money and give you a skin treatment that you’ll be loyal to forever.

Here’s the case for wrinkle creams. If you’re lucky, you’ll read it before it’s too late.

Chemical peels are inconvenient

A  peel requires you to take time out of your day to schedule an appointment with your doctor. The appointment will take place on a weekday, meaning that you have to take time off work just to have a chemical peel. If this doesn’t sound like fun, it’s because it isn’t. Wrinkle creams don’t require days off work or recovery periods. You simply apply the cream to your skin and love it.

The Pain of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels contain caustic acid. This can cause swelling, irritation, and pain during the healing process. Wrinkle creams don’t hurt. They feel good and enhance your skin without side effects or pain. It’s the direct opposite of putting caustic acid on your skin.

Anti-Aging Ingredients Aren’t in Peels

Anti-aging components of chemical peels cause so much discomfort that it can be difficult to gather the courage to go for another treatment. With wrinkle creams, there is no dread. They give your skin antioxidants naturally so that your skin enjoys rather than dreads.

Recovery Period

Caustic acid is used to burn the skin and lift upper layers of it off. Your body increases production of collagen to heal the wounds left by the chemical peel. You are burned. You have a wound. Your body has to heal itself. Burning hurts.

Wrinkle cream actually feels good. Improvements are seen almost immediately and the great thing about all this is that you won’t have to burn off your face to accomplish your goals. You won’t be in pain for a minimum of five days. There is no recovery time at all from wrinkle creams.

If you’re ready to enjoy a good wrinkle cream, read about them: anti wrinkle cream. Find out Marcus Ryan’s list of anti aging and anti wrinkle skin cream and stop using painful chemical peels.
