Yellow Peel is the latest, and weaker chemical peeling,
which can promote the elimination of the epiderm, at different depths, and
it can also be tailored to the type of lesion. This peeling uses the exfoliant
action of the Retinoic Acid (in high concentrations) together with the action
of three substances, (Phytic Acid, Kojic Acid and Azelaic Acid) which block
the synthesis of Melanin. This peeling can be used for the treatment of Epidermal
Melasma, Benign Hyperchromic Lesions of the Epidermis, Superficial Wrinkles
and Acne Sequels. This peeling is easy to apply, and when repeated, can provide
the same benefits as the more aggressive peelings. Yellow Peel should be used
in a thin and continuos layer all over the face, or only in the area that
needs treating. After a superficial peeling using Alpha Beta Complex Peel;
(the objective of which is to prepare the stratum corneum for a perfect and
uniform penetration of the Yellow Peel). Yellow Peel should be left on the
skin for a continuos period of 2 hours and then removed with a neutral soap.
Normally this treatment can be repeated for other periods of 2 hours, depending
on the type of skin being treated or as recommended by the physician. During
the treatment of Epidermal Melasma, this should only be repeated only 2 –
3 times, this is enough to provoke a superficial epidermal peeling, offering
the minimum inflammatory process, which is the ideal for Epidermal Melasma
therapy. (Fig 8,9,10)
