In 2016, the Year of Monkey, we should use our monkey-like agility and wit to overcome the recession. The first three months of the year are crucial to setting the pace for the rest of the year.

 

The dermatologic practice can benefit from focusing on whitening and regenerative procedures that tackle the most common skin problems including photo-aging, melasma, blemishes, wrinkles, and acne, etc. I would like to introduce Fox Peel, a gentle peeling treatment that can be used in all skin types. Fox peel is affordable, safe and effective.

 

Fox Peel is designed to fit the busy schedule of the patients. This quick treatment does not disturb daily activities and brings rapid improvement. Fox peel uses polyglutamic acid as the base solution to minimize skin irritation from frequent treatments. Polyglutamic acid provides superior hydration than hyaluronic acid and relieves the dryness that usually follows other peeling procedures. Fox peel also contains fermented extracts of blueberries, cranberries, acai berries and blackberries which have been concocted to suit each of the various skin types. It provides potent anti-oxidative action.

 

 

The Zwitter system using arginine, a type of amino acid, allows more effective infiltration of free acids through molecular bonding of amphoteric surfactants, not base ionic bonding. Fox peel also contains vitamin powder and oxygen booster which enables more effective infiltration of active ingredients. It maximizes the efficacy by providing the fatigued skin with needed vitamins and oxygen.

 

 

‘Melaless’ is the whitening line of Fox Peel and the name was coined from joining ‘melanin’ and the suffix ‘–less’. It contains 30% AHA as well as tranexamic acid with potent whitening action. It clears the skin tone and provides rich hydration to give a healthy sheen and rejuvenation. Melaless was designed to tackle pigmentation and bring whitening and anti-aging actions. The free acids are delivered deep into the skin and maintains a clear and youthful complexion.

 

 

As the Zwitter system allows gradual infiltration of AHA using arginine, Fox Peel does not require post-treatment neutralization. It is ideal in all skin types as it does not cause redness or excessive exfoliation. Its benefits can be enhanced when combined with other treatments such as Laser, aqua peel, LED phototherapy, Ulthera, or radiofrequency, etc.

 

Fox peel can be used as a pretreatment to Laser or aqua peel to remove keratin and impurities from the skin. When used simultaneously with Ulthera or LED phototherapy, it can enhance the efficacy of these procedures. Fox Peel can be used alone to great benefits. Unlike other treatments such as Laser, it can be customized to the patient’s individual needs.

 

The oxygen component of Fox Peel helps cell activation through the combined action of vitamin powder and oxygen booster. It helps brighten the skin tone and promotes collagenesis. The active ingredient of tranexamic acid has potent whitening action along with TVP complex of Melaless and prevents melanogenesis by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.

 

Liquid vitamins can deteriorate in potency in time, however, vitamin C in the powder form is free from deterioration during storage. The oxygen booster enhances infiltration of these beneficial ingredients.

 

The treatment is performed in 10-15 minutes and is much quicker than other peeling treatments. It is painless and causes little irritation. It does not cause excessive exfoliation and applying make-up or cleansing is possible immediately after treatment. Polyglutamic acid and the Zwitter system minimize skin irritation and bring immediate, visible improvement. This winter could be an ideal time to start a skin care regimen with Fox Peel and realize your clear, blemish-free skin.
