Why are Environ Cool Peels Different?

Environ is different from other companies producing peels, because Environ pioneered the production of acidic creams and gels instead of using acid solutions.

Since strong acid solutions are usually colorless, one might end up doing a deeper peel than intended as one would not be able to see where the skin has been treated once the solution dries. Also, when a strong acid is applied to the skin it burns a great deal.

Hence Environ made the ACM peels that are white creams:

• – The concentration of acid used is low, so one cannot make a peel too deep unless one is careless.
• – The product is left on the skin for a longer time – this gives the same effects as a strong concentration of acid without damaging the skin.
• – A thicker layer can be applied, which would present more acid to the skin than a thin layer will – hence the peel can be made deeper if required, but this can be controlled.
• – The white cream allows the therapist to see exactly where the acid has been applied, and one can also determine the thickness of the application.

So, the therapist by controlling the concentration of acid used, and the thickness of the application, one has an extremely versatile peeling system that is ‘fine-tuned’ by controlling the time that the peeling agent is left on the skin. This is a slower treatment than using a solution, but the safety and versatility are unparalleled.

Environ has also pioneered the thick low concentration acid gel (TCA-Pamgel):

• – The revolutionary concept here is that the evaporation of water from the gel will cool the skin while the acid penetrates, so it makes it a ‘cool peel’.
• – Also the acid is applied in layers. This helps to increase the concentration of the acid, without lowering the pH of the skin.

Effects of Peeling
