BioRepeel - A game changing 35% TCA peel with minimal downtime
In the skincare industry, it's rare to encounter something genuinely innovative. Many treatments and products are often marketed as groundbreaking or revolutionary, yet often they're just variations of existing ideas. However, in this instance, there's something truly remarkable and unique.
A 35% TCA peel with minimal to zero downtimeβ¦ itβs virtually unheard of! To appreciate this scientific breakthrough, we need to delve into what TCA (trichloroacetic acid) entails.
TCA falls under the category of keratolytic acids, meaning it can break down keratin. While most acid-based peels work by disintegrating the protein bonds between skin cells (and peeling off), keratolytic acids like TCA and salicylic acid directly target the skin cells themselves.
The advantage here is that this direct cell breakdown (rather than just the bonds between them) leads to a more extensive resurfacing effect, which is highly desirable if your goal is improving skin texture, lines/wrinkles, pore size, scarring, and pigmentation issues.
However, the downside is that such cell breakdown often results in irritation, skin barrier impairment, and increased sensitivity. These effects can be pronounced even with a 10% TCA peel, let alone one with a concentration as high as 35%.Enter the BioRePeel, a biphasic peel composed of a lipophilic (blue) and a hydrophilic (yellow) phase. Unlike most TCA peels that are monophasic and prone to destabilization and oxidation, the BioRePeel's unique formulation ensures stability and efficacy.
Before application, the formula is shaken, temporarily blending the two phases and giving rise to the distinctive green color of the BioRePeel. Upon application, the phases separate, with the hydrophilic phase penetrating deep into the skin to initiate corrective action and the lipophilic phase settling on the outer layers.
Typically, after a TCA peel, the skin's lipid barrier is disrupted, taking 24-48 hours to restore. During this time, inflammation, sensitivity, and irritation are common. However, with BioRePeel, there's no such disruption; the lipophilic phase remains on the skin's surface, promptly restoring the lipid barrier and significantly reducing irritation and downtime.
In essence, BioRePeel offers the results of a 35% TCA peel with minimal irritation and zero barrier impairment, thanks to its innovative biphasic formulation.
Optimum results are seen with 4 treatments 7-14 days apart.
