ENVIRON Cool Peel® Technology

HISTORY Of Peeling

ENVIRON SKIN CARE

• Dates back to the ancient Egyptians

• Recipe used was fruit acids combined with skin irritants

• Rather deep peel – the clients hid from society for 2 – 3

weeks and expected a youthful appearance

• Modern peeling started about 100 years ago

HISTORY OF PEELING

CHEMICALS USED IN PEELING

Phenol

• Toxic – has lead to deaths

• Deep dermal peel – complete epidermis destroyed

• Melanocytes, which produce melanin pigment granules, are

destroyed


Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s)

• Safe and effective

• Weak Carboxylic Acid

• Found in nature


Tricloroacetic Acid

• Safe and effective, inactive when dry

• Based on Acetic Acid, man-made chemical

• No known allergic reactions


Lactic Acid Glycolic Acid

More comfortable, gentle sensation Smaller molecules – penetrates more

rapidly = uncomfortable experience

Inhibits uneven skin tone Support natural desquamation process

Augments natural moisturizing

factors Must be neutralized to stop peel action

Must be neutralized, in higher

concentrations, to stop peel action

Deep peels are uncomfortable and painful

often the result does not justify the traumatizing experience

Deep peels could possibly cause the following:

• Slow healing

• Post inflammatory scarring

• Hyper/hypo pigmentation

• Bacterial infections

• Scarring

DEEP PEELING IS RISKY

SCARRING AFTER DEEP PEELING

GENERAL PEELING Complications

Hyper-pigmentation

• May occur as a result of inflammation

Hypo-pigmentation

• May occur as a result of very deep peels

Allergies

• Allergies to peeling agents are very rare, it is more likely to be

an area of over treatment

GENERAL PEELING COMPLICATIONS - pg F9

Over-treatment

• May occur as a result of deep peels

Aggravated acne type reaction (breakouts)

• May occur due to build-up not adequately removed; more

common with AHA peels

GENERAL PEELING COMPLICATIONS

ENVIRON’S SOLUTION To Peeling

THE ENVIRON SOLUTION

“COOL PEEL® TECHNOLOGY”

• Rather offer milder peels more often than one deep peel

• Deep peels destroy the epidermis

• A series of light peels minimizes the destruction of the

epidermis

pH AND PERCENTAGE

High concentration/percentage does not necessarily make a peel effective:

• A 40% peel at a pH of 6 would not be effective

• A low pH, with a high concentration/percentage acid is destructive

• A low pH, low concentration/percentage is very effective and offers a safer treatment

Importance of PH vs percentage

Importance of PH

1. Scientifically formulated and developed by Dr. Des

2. Safe and effective method of peeling the skin

3. Unique in concept and method of application

4. User friendly application

WHAT MAKES THE COOL PEELING SYSTEM SO SPECIAL?

5. Can be tailored to suit different skin types and photo types

6. Cool and painless with no ‘downtime’

7. Complies with global regulations

8. Effective pH of between 1 and 2.4 in combination with low

acid concentrations


9. Acid in low concentrations instruct Keratinocytes to

produce thicker, healthier and smoother skin

10. The acid does not kill healthy epidermal cells

11. Acid pH, persisting for many minutes, stimulates the

Keratinocytes to release various growth factors


Research And Clinical Studies Have Shown:

With time, the acid pH stimulates the release of

various growth factors

– EGF, bFGF, VEGF, TGF beta-3

ENVIRON’S

Ethos

Vitamin A is the corner stone ingredient in the

Environ Skin Care philosophy and must be

replaced daily for skin appearance to stay

healthy-looking and resilient. Combined with

other essential nutrients like antioxidants and

peptides, the long-term enhancement of skin

appearance becomes clearly visible.

• Peeling works in synergy with our ethos of creating healthy-

looking skin by nourishing the skin with vitamins,

antioxidants and helping protect with sunscreen

• It is essential to prepare the skin with Environ’s Vitamin A

moisturizers for a minimum of three weeks prior to peeling

ENVIRON’S PEELING ETHOS

EFFECTS

Of Peeling

• Skin becomes dryer and feels tighter for a few days

• Light peels – effect barely perceptible

• Heavy peels – noticeable effect and peeling (flaking) for a number of

days

• Scientific research has shown that healthy cells survive and damaged cells

are removed

• Scientific research has shown that growth factors are stimulated and

collagen formation is promoted

EFFECTS OF PEELING

• A course of peels help to improve the appearance and texture

of the skin relating to the visible signs of aging

• A course of peels help to improve the appearance of texture

and the look of problematic skin

• Skin appears more refined and radiant with an overall

improved appearance

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DEPTH OF THE Peels

STRATUM CORNEUM OR VERY SUPERFICIAL PEELS

DEPTH OF PEELING – LEVEL 1

• Stop when the skin starts to flush

EPIDERMAL PEELS


• Stop when the skin

becomes mottled

• Environ peels should not

exceed this depth

DEEP EPIDERMAL PEELS


• Stop when the skin

becomes “dusted” very

lightly with white “frost”

DERMO-EPIDERMAL PEELS


• Stop when the skin becomes pink

with a fine even layer of “frost”.

VERY DEEP PEELS


• Stop when the skin shows dead white

“frost”

• Avoid this level of peeling

THE ENVIRON Cool Peel System

PRODUCTS REQUIRED For Peel Treatments

LACM and ACM TCA

Cream peels which contain a low concentration

of acid, but because the product is left on the

skin for a longer time, it gives the same effects

as a high concentration of acid.

LACM contains Lactic Acid

ACM contains TCA

The treatment can be adapted to various types

of skin because the concentration of the

preparation and the length of exposure time can

be varied. The exfoliation is mild and treatments

are designed to be used re- peatedly without

damaging the skin.

The TCA-Pamgel Peels are a thick

low concentration acid gel. The

concentration of acid is even lower

than the cream peels because more

acid is available to the skin in a gel.

Less time is required for faster

action. The evaporation of water in

the gel cools the skin while acid is

activated.

NEUTRALISING CLEANSER

PEEL RANGE

DESCRIPTION: A neutralizing cleanser, formulated to

deactivate peeling acids and stop the peeling action on

the skin immediately

APPLICATION:

1. Apply in a thick layer and massage gently with

the fingertips/brush for 5 minutes, remove with a

compress (pertains to LACM only)

2. Apply directly to AREAS OF FROSTING

3. Apply to the lips before peeling if the client

suffers from fever blisters

INCREASING THE DEPTH Of Peeling

INCREASED DEPTH OF PEEL

Depth of the peel is dependent on certain factors:

1. How well the skin was degreased before the peel

2. The anatomic area treated

3. The condition and the level of superficial damage of the skin

before the peel

4. Skin is treated more effectively if prepared with Environ vitamin

A moisturizers

INCREASED DEPTH OF

TCA PAMGEL Peels

1. More layers = more concentrated peel

2. 1 – 3 layers gives a milder peeling effect

3. 4 – 6 layers gives an advanced peeling effect

INCREASED DEPTH OF

ACM Peels

1. Longer time = massage and/or steaming

2. 10 minutes = milder peeling effect

3. 20 minutes = advanced peeling effect

INCREASED DEPTH OF

LACM Peels

1. Longer time = massage, layering and/or steaming

2. 10 minutes = milder peeling effect

3. 20 minutes = more advanced peeling effect

4. 1 layer = milder peeling effect

5. 2 layers = moderate peeling effect

6. 3 layers = more advanced peeling effect

WHY DO WE CALL IT THE COOL PEEL TECHNOLOGY?

APPLY A LAYER OF SELECTED GEL PEEL

Cooling effect is felt as water in the gel evaporates, therefore acid becomes

concentrated

Once acid becomes concentrated it starts to penetrate

APPLY A SECOND LAYER OF GEL

APPLY A THIRD LAYER OF GEL

Greater concentration of acid develops as water evaporates

Client may experience some stinging, but the skin still feels cool and comfortable as

the acid penetrates

Proteins coagulate which may cause mild burning sensation

COSMETIC PEEL (ONLY DONE ON INDIVIDUAL PIMPLES)

Neutralize all residual acid with a neutralizing product

layering effect - pg F22

UNEVEN SKIN TONE And Peeling

WE HAVE TO AVOID MAKING PIGMENTATION PROBLEMS WORSE BY MEANS OF PEELING

UNEVEN SKIN TONE

• Environ does not recommend uncontrolled deep peeling as the

only treatment for uneven skin tone

• A combination of mild peeling, Environ® professional treatments

and correct home product use is advised for the best treatment of

aging and sun damaged skin conditions

• Lightening of uneven skin tone may occur, but darkening

occurs if the peeling is too aggressive

• Peeling makes the skin more susceptible to the penetration

of UV light, stimulating more melanin production, or worse

Melanocyte DNA damage

• In darker photo types melanin can remain in the dead cells

even up to the horny layer

UNEVEN SKIN TONE

AFTER CARE Advice

EFFECT AVOID MANAGE

DRYNESS/TIGHTNESS Avoid harsh environmental

influences

Introduce Pre-cleanser and

moisturize adequately

FLAKING Do not rub, pick or irritate the

skin

Micro-exfoliate with

Hydrating Clay Masque as

necessary

SENSITIVITY

Avoid AHA’s for up to 24

hours, avoid exercise for up to

24 hours and do not swim in a

pool/ocean for up to 24 hours

Apply AVST gel/Colostrum

Gel/C-Quence Crème,

morning and evening

PHOTO-SENSITIVITY Avoid all sun exposure for a

minimum of seven days

Re-apply a broad spectrum

sunscreen every 1.5-2 hours

BREAKOUTS Do not pick or irritate the skin

Micro-exfoliate with

Hydrating Clay Masque as

necessary

WHEN IS IT SAFE TO RE-PEEL?

• Only peel again after the skin has settled down from the previous peel;

the skin should not be red or sensitive and no flaking should be present

• Problematic skin – superficial Stratum Corneum peels may be repeated

daily, left on for no longer than 10 – 20 minutes

• Sun damaged skin – epidermal peels may be repeated every 2 – 6

weeks

PEELING Procedures

1. Consultation

2. Preparation phase

3. Treatment phase

4. Product recommendation

PEEL STEPS

• During the first consultation process it is important to establish the

recommended treatment plan according to the skin conditions

• Clients should always be informed as to what to expect from the

treatment, as well as home care may be recommended

• Use the recommended Environ consultation card to accurately record

treatments performed as well as the progress made

• In order for Environ to assist and monitor future treatments or in the case

of a reaction it is important to ensure that the client card is always kept up

to date
