Reform Facial Peel

REFORM Skincare Peels are made up of acids that occur naturally in a number of fruits (from where they get their “eco-friendly” name of fruit acids) and dairy products. Glycolic acid, lactic acid salicylic acid, malic acid and citric acid are all examples of AHA’s. Glycolic acid was originally extracted from sugar cane, but the acid used in treatment today is synthesized chemically. AHA’s affect the cohesiveness of epidermal cells causing detachment of keratinocytes. They can be used daily on the skin in concentrations of 2% to 15% or as a peeling agent in concentrations of 20% to 70%.

REFORM Facial Peels treat:

• Freckles Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Melasma
• Solar lentigines
• Actinic Keratosis
• Fine wrinkles
• Acne
• Oily congested skins
• Keratosis pilaris

All skin types are suitable for REFORM Skincare Peels, however higher percentages may not be suitable for darker skin types.

Acne Treatment

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages and can be persistent. Acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier treatment is started, the lower the risk of such problems.

Dr. Michelle takes a holistic approach to the treatment of acne, treating the bacteria at source when necessary through the use of prescription medications, to the topical use of the dermatologist-developed, medical-grade Obagi 3-step system specifically formulated for normal to oily skin to treat acne where it starts. This system includes clinically proven benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid to help control acne for a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.
