A Silk Peel™ facial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that makes the skin brighter and evens out the texture of the skin. It uses a combination of two processes such as exfoliation and infusion.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Avoid any peels or other facial procedures from about 1 week prior to treatment
Please inform your dermatologist if you may be pregnant or nursing or have any medical condition or allergies
Avoid direct exposure to the sun for at least one week prior to treatment
How is it done?
The first step is cleansing the skin and keeping it free of debris and dirt
Once the skin is clean and free of accumulated impurities, the microdermabrasion starts.
The special suction machine is used to carry out diamond tip microdermabrasion by removing the top layers of dead skin cells.
The microdermabrasion portion creates a vacuum over the skin surface so that when the diamond tip moves over the skin, the dead skin cells are captured into the handpiece.
There is a hose that is attached to the handpiece. The infusion that your doctor has chosen follows the path of the hose and lands in a reservoir where the diamond tip is located.
The infusion is then rapidly infused directly into the enlarged pore and with the use of suction, it is pulled back again. The portion of the infusion that is retained by the skin reacts with the skin to produce results
The infusion that is taken by the suction brings back dirt and debris along with it.
The serum that is used acts as a buffer to make the entire treatment experience very comfortable.
How do I take care of my skin following treatment?

What is the difference between SilkPeel and Microdermabrasion?

How does SilkPeel Make my skin look better?
The SilkPeel treatment is formulated to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin and suck away the dead skin cells that make the skin look dull. The treatment uses a special serum that penetrates into the deep layers and infuses them with nourishment. This nourishment from within gives a brighter and healthy-looking glow that is seen instantly after silk peel treatment.
