PEELS
Many people have had a bad experience with only one traditional peel. Aggressive peels are just that...aggressive. They can potentially tear away the entire epidermis quickly with one treatment. This results in undue risk of damaging the dermis, the layer under the epidermis. The point of a peel is indeed to remove the upper layers of the epidermis for a more even skin tone and texture. Do not fear. Six consecutive peels are a gentler way to the same result. Do not believe that one "stronger" peel is more affective. The clinical evidence to Environ's consecutive cool peel system is overwhelming. You obtain the same result without the danger of deep epidermal disruption.
WHY PEELING IS GIVEN A BAD NAME
by: Dr. Des Fernandes
“Environ has been the lone voice in the wilderness of peeling systems. For nearly 20 years I have insisted that there are major problems with the standard peeling systems used around the world. I learned the hard way that peeling can be dangerous and that is why I modified my attitude to peeling. Because of my different approach to peeling I was invited in 1995 to the ISAPS Seminar in New York to instruct doctors about serial light peeling. I have always insisted that the results of serial light peeling, using the Environ Cool Peeling System, are far safer and equally effective.
The Environ Cool Peels are all designed so that you can see exactly where you have applied the peel and cannot over treat any one area. You can also modify the strength of the peel by either changing the concentration of the acid, or by changing the length of time that the peel is left on the skin. All our peels are slow-developing peels and while they take longer than the standard peels that are offered, they are safer and more precise.
At conferences where I have been pitted against proponents of heavy TCA peeling, my photographs have been acknowledged as equal results, but my patients skins were always normal. However, the heavier the peels always show people with pink, inflamed-looking skins. Even Obaji(who developed the blue TCA peels) said that my results were as good as his, but he said, “Who wants to wait so long?”
People want instant gratification and one heavy peel. I say no-one really wants to go through the heavy flaking and people are too busy. They need to get back to work. I have designed this whole system very carefully to be safe, effective and gratifying. Environ is also a lone voice in saying that pigmentation problems should not be peeled with the standard method of peeling. Specialized methods of peeling are necessary and should not be used in combination with topical vitamins. I think people will finally start listening to me; I have been saying it for nearly 20 years. You can be quite confident that with Environ system you will never ever have any disasters.”

Vibrant C Peel
Pigmentation
The Environ Vibrant C-Peel is an invigorating treatment designed to soften the texture and appearance of rough, sun damaged skin; while Vitamin C helps restore a youthful, more radiant appearance. The active ingredients in a C-Peel have a small molecular size, allowing them to penetrate underlying skin layers and clean the skin by exfoliating, or removing dead skin cells and debris that clog pores, thus increasing the rate of cell turnover for more healthy, radiant skin. This peel is about 30 minutes long.
​
A single Vibrant C Peel is $150
Carbon Peel
In the world of earthy purifying wonders, charcoal is right up there with clay and mud. It’s been called the holy-grail ingredient and has been purging impurities since ancient times, thanks to its ability to attach to and absorb toxins. ​​
In the past few years, charcoal has exploded in the world of skincare. Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne. Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances, which makes it a popular ingredient in facial masks. Charcoal is not metabolized, or absorbed by the body.
