How do I get started? You will first have a skin evaluation to determine your particular skin type based on the BioMedic® Skin Classification System. Skin classification include the following types: Environmentally Damaged Hyperpigmented Hypersensitive Acne Prone Active Acne Sun Exposed Based on your result, you will be instructed on how to properly care for your skin with the BioMedic® Home Treatment Program. The BioMedic® Products are specially formulated for each particular skin type. Most importantly, the products are simple, easy to use, and very affordable. The products can be used alone or in conjunction with the BioMedic® skin treatment known as the MicroPeel®.

What is the MicroPeel®? The MicroPeel® is a three-step process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. The top layer is a significant obstruction to having better skin because it is pore-clogged. The procedure is safe, effective and is accomplished in 15-20 minutes. Step One The first step is a five minute, physical or enzymatic exfoliation of the skin. This frees the skin of dead cellular layers and protein. And by reducing the top layer of the skin, it also lessens the appearance of fine lines and brown spots. A change in skin texture can be felt right away by brushing your hand across you cheek. Step Two (Optional) In the second step, a 15-30 percent Alpha Hydroxy Acid solution is applied. It will stay on the skin for at least 15 seconds, but no more than 2 minutes. A slight stinging sensation may be felt, but it is only momentary and quite normal. This part of the MicroPeel® helps to reduce acne-related conditions by freeing impacted debris from the pores. This step is not recommended for sensitive skin. Step Three The third and final step of the MicroPeel® is a skin freezing process called Cryogenic Therapy. Carbon dioxide is applied to the face in light, circular motions. Immediately the coolness causes an anti-flammatory response. Pores look smaller. Sun damaged cells are cast off. Oil and blackheads are unblocked. The surface of the skin becomes smoother.

How often would I have to have this treatment? Insert Content Here. Insert Content Here. Insert Content Here. Insert Content Here. Insert Content Here. Insert Content Similar to a facial, we recommend a monthly treatment. Depending on your skin type, however, treatments two times per month may produce a more dramatic result.

How will I look after the first treatment? Unlike a facial, most people will notice a change in the skin right away. You can apply your makeup immediately following the procedure.

Can this type of treatment be bad for my skin? If you are pregnant, lactating, taking Accutane or have a chronic history of cold sores, we do not recommend this treatment. You should also be aware that since any exfoliation increases photosensitivity to the sun, you must use sun protection. You must also sign an informed consent before you begin the skin care program.

Can I use BioMedic® without having a MicroPeel®? Absolutely! Keep in mind that it will take longer to see results and the effects may be less dramatic.

How much will the BioMedic® Program cost? The BioMedic® Home Treatment Program is very affordable. The Home Treatment Kit is $130-$200 depending on your skin type. The cleanser and conditioner will last two to three months. The gels, creams and sunblocks will last four to six months. The MicroPeel® will vary in price depending on the different areas of your face and body that you may treat. However, generally speaking, the price of a MicroPeel® is consistent with the price of a facial.
