GLYCOLIC CHEMICAL PEEL  |   

     

Glycolic acid is used to dissolve and allow dead skin cells to slough off. The result is a smoother skin surface with clear pores.

​

LACTIC CHEMICAL PEEL   |                                                                                                                                 

If your skin is sensitive, some of the peels on this list may irritate it. You may want to look into a light chemical peel, such as a lactic peel. As the name suggests, lactic peels come from milk and utilize lactic acid. It’s not only gentle on easily irritated skin, but also moisturizes dry skin.

​

BETA CHEMICAL PEEL  | 

                                                                                                                                        

Acne can be embarrassing and annoying to deal with. If you have a bunch of problem breakouts, a beta peel will be able to help you. It contains salicylic acid which is great for exfoliation and oil control. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Salicylic acid takes care of the bacteria that cause acne breakouts to give you the relief that you’ve been searching for.

​

TCA CHEMICAL PEEL  |      

Trichloroacetic Acid, often referred to as TCA, is an effective chemical agent used to exfoliate and renew the skin from a superficial to deep level. TCA is commonly applied to the face, neck, décolleté, hands and legs. In addition, Trichloroacetic acid is also an excellent “spot treatment” and can be used to exclusively peel isolated areas of the skin.

​

MANDELIC CHEMICAL PEEL  |                                                                                                                                               

Mandelic acid is a go-to anti-aging ingredient in the world of skin care. It works to accelerate cell turnover by dissolving the tiny bonds that hold the cells of the skin together, helping to remove dead skin on the surface of the skin that can lead to dull complexions as well as lines. It also strengthens collagen, one of the building blocks of the skin’s support network that gives it a youthful firmness.This increased rate of sloughing thins the outermost layer of skin called the stratum corneum. A thinner stratum corneum reflects light better and makes skin look smoother and more youthful. Mandelic acid and other alpha hydroxy acids generally soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture.

​

JESSNER PEEL  |                                                                                                                                

Like all other chemical peels, the Jessner peel is done by brushing on a chemical solution called acidic liquid to remove the top layer of skin and encourage new, younger looking skin to grow.  The Jessner peel was first formulated over a hundred years ago, and it’s still in use today

​

ALPHA JEWEL PEEL  | 

                                                                                                                                       

This is a summer safe peel with minimal downtime. Perfect for those “on the go” that do not want a lot of downtime. Alpha Jewel Peel Professional System is intended to remove the outermost layers of dead skin with the added bonus of precious gems. This unique element leaves trace amounts of essential minerals that create large levels of antioxidants to help neutralize stressed skin

​

PIGMENT BALANCING PEEL  | $50-$150

                                                                                                                                         

The pigment balancing peel also works with a series of acids to lighten the pigmentation of the skin. It can also get rid of brown spots, but this will take a little more time. You can’t expect them to go away with your first session. You’ll need to go a few times for this to take effect. On top of semi-regular peels, you’ll also need to use sunscreen when you go out or your results will be limited.

​

PERFECT DERMA CHEMICAL PEEL   | $50-$150

Perfect skin with Peels

 

Skin peels have a very long history. Early records show that they were used by ancient Egyptians when women used to apply sour milk to their skin. This sour milk contained lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, which rejuvenates the skin. In addition, they used other substances such as animal oils and alabaster to improve the skin’s texture.

In Roman times, people were conscious of their skin and would use fruit such as grapes to exfoliate their skin. The active ingredient responsible for the use of grapes was tartaric acid. Other treatments included poultices containing substances such as sulphur, mustard and limestone, which were used to fade freckles and to even the skin. These ancient records show us that skin care has been important, particularly to women, through much of history.

​

Jana Bay Center offers a wide variety of professional chemical peels as well as everyday products to:

  • rejuvenate your skin

  • correct the effects of the sun

  • reduce scaring from acne or trauma

  • manage discoloration and wrinkles from aging

  • hyperpigmentation

  • melasma

  • uneven skin tone or redness

 

What are the most common types of peel? 

​

  • Superficial peels, which use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate. It only penetrates the outermost layer of skin.

Recovery time is about four to seven days. Your skin may temporarily be lighter or darker

​

  • Medium peels, which use trichloroacetic or glycolic acid to reach the middle and outer layer of skills. This makes it more effective for removing damaged skin cells.

​Your skin will recover about five to seven days after a medium chemical peel, though you may have redness that persists for months. Your skin will initially swell, and then form crusts and brown blotches before revealing new skin

​

  • Deep peels, which fully penetrate the middle layer of the skin to remove damaged skin cells; these peels often use phenol or tricholoracetic acid.

Deep chemical peels will cause severe swelling and redness, with burning or throbbing sensations. It’s common for the eyelids to swell shut. It will take about two weeks for the new skin to develop, though white spots or cysts may last several weeks. It’s common for redness to last for several months.

 

During recovery, follow your cosmetologist’s postop instructions faithfully. They’ll give you specific instructions for how often to wash your face and moisturize, and which products you should use to do so. Try to stay out of the sun until your skin has healed, and avoid using makeup or other cosmetics until your doctor gives you the go-ahead. You can use ice packs for 20 minutes at a time, or a cool fan, to help relieve discomfort at home.

How to prepare for a chemical peel?

​

Before your procedure, you’ll first have a consultation with our skin care specialist. During this visit, we will digitally analyze your skin to determine what the best treatment option is for you and select specific peel you’ll be getting.  You also must let the skin care specialist know if you've taken acne medication, and information about whether or not you scar easily.

​

Before a chemical peel, you must:

​

  • not use any type of retinol or retin-A topical medication for at least 7 days

  • inform your skin care specialist about any medications you take

  • not have been on Accutane for at least six months

  • stop waxing, shaving, or using depilatory hair removal products the week before the peel. You should also avoid hair bleaching on your face.

  • stop using facial scrubs and exfoliants the week before the peel.

  • arrange for a ride home, especially for medium or deep chemical peels

​

  • How does laser hair removal for men work?
    As the name suggests, laser hair removal treatments involve the use of laser light technology. These lasers emit pulses of light energy into the skin to target the root and hair follicles. Once the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow, and the result is permanent hair reduction
  • How many sessions do I need?
    Depending on the size of the area, most clients need multiple hair-removal sessions to see the best results. That’s because hair, as it grows, goes through three different stages. The laser is only effective on hair that’s in the growth phase, and individual hairs are always in different phases. Hair must be in the active growth stage for laser hair removal to be effective. With multiple treatments spread out over weeks, the laser can capture every hair in the growth phase.
  • Is laser hair removal permanent?
    Everyone’s body reacts differently to laser treatments. Some people see permanent results, while others only see temporary hair reduction. Treatment is most effective on people with light skin and dark hair. It is more challenging to eliminate hair growth on people with fair skin and light hair, as well as from people with a dark skin tone and dark hair. Once treatment sessions are complete, some people will see permanent hair loss. Others may need to return for a touch-up treatment in a year or two. The success of the procedure depends upon the individual and how many treatments they have.
  • What to do before and after laser hair removal?
    If you’re ready to get laser hair removal, start by consulting with a certified and licensed professional. Consultations with Laser by Jana Bay are entirely free and can be scheduled online or overthe phone. During your initial consultation, your laser technician will explain what the procedure entails and examine the area and estimate how many sessions you’ll need. General recommendations before the procedure: • Shave the hair in the desired area the day before laser epilation • There should be no deodorant in the armpit area. • Do not sunbath 2 weeks before • For 2-3 weeks, do not use wax, epilator, sugaring
  • What to expect after treatment?
    After treatment, it’s common to experience some slight discomfort. Many people see redness and swelling in the area, especially within the first few hours after treatment. But what you do afterward is just as important as what you do to prepare. General recommendations after the procedure: • Do not sunbath for 2 weeks after the procedure • In the first 2-3 days, you should not overheat in the bath or sauna • Do not use alcohol body lotions for the first day • Mild exfoliation 6 days after the procedure • Wear loose clothing so that you don’t sweat in the treated area • For the first 48 hours after a session, avoid working out
