Inside Outside is now offering a New Chemical
Peel. This peel was developed by Dr. A. F. Kalil, of the Vitality
Institute of South Beach, Florida. I have never been fond of peels as most
of them in the past were painful and required lengthy recovery if used for
treatment of some of the more difficult skin issues such as acne,
pigmentation and wrinkles. For these problems, I have generally felt
Intense Pulsed Light, Pixel Laser Resurfacing and faithful use of products
were the best solution.
Dr. Kalil has taken, however, 5 different Acids,
Phenolic Acid,
TCA (TriChloroAcetic Acid),
Salycylic Acid,
Ascorbic Acid
(Vitamin C)
and Retanoic Acid (Retin A)
and put them all in a single
"cocktail" at lower concentrations.
The acids all work in different
ways to improve Acne, Rough Texture, Pigmentation and Some Wrinkling due to
Aging and Sun Exposure. The Peel is virtually painless. On the
1st and 2nd day there is a sun tanned like look and peeling occurs on the
3rd and 4th day with complete recovery by Day 6 or 7. It really is
quite a remarkable product when combined with a good regimen of
Skin Care
Products and Diamond MicroDermabrasions.
