Retinol Body Peel, Leeds by Julia Hunter
We concentrate highly on the skin on our face and don’t tend to treat our skin on the body with the same care and attention.
The benefits and results that can be achieved with retinol is why we have decided to offer this amazing treatment in our clinic.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A RETINOL PEEL?
Retinol is a vitamin A acid which is the natural precursor of retinoic acid. The powerful ingredient speeds up cell turnover for existing skin damage, and cleverly interrupts the free-radical damage process from the environment and slows general ageing. The benefits of the proven ingredient retinol are well known.
It is designed to:
- exfoliate and improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
- helps reduce acne
- improve skin laxity
- improve skin tone concentrating on a bright, even, and clear complexion

The more deeply the skin is treated, the more completely the skin is restored, rejuvenated, lifted, tightened, thickened, made to function youthfully, cleared, protected and more clarified.

KEY INGREDIENTS USED IN THE PEEL TREATMENT?
• Two unique stabilized forms of proprietary Vitamin A for optimal repairing and cellular re-growth as deeply as possible. Helps protect and treat the cell’s mitochondria and DNA. Restores deeply and progressively and very visibly rejuvenates even the most depleted, damaged skin.
• L-Glutathione– a crucial element in the antioxidant defense system of the cell membrane and mitochondria. Helps neutralize hydrogen peroxide in lipids and regulate DNA duplication to strengthen the rebuilding of collagen bonds, to improve wrinkling and skin regeneration.
• L-Carnosine- an amino acid and super antioxidant to help stabilize cellular membranes, helping to quench even the most destructive free radicals and their damage. Slows glycation and collagen cross linking which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkling and helps stimulate the growth of fibroblasts to reduce telomere damage.
• D-Alpha Tocopherol and Tocotrienols– scientifically and chirally correct ratio of vitamin E chemical forms for antioxidant protection, helping to prevent the free radical cascade that occurs during other peels which then results in thinning the skin, often irreversibly. Aging skin is thinning, youthful skin is volumizing.
• Lactobacillus Ferment Extract exfoliates and softens fine lines and improves skin texture and clarity.
SHOULD I EXPECT DOWNTIME?
There will be some downtime but this is usually minimal and be dryness, flakiness, peeling. The body is usually much thicker, so the downtime is usually minimal.
