Enzymes, Chemical Peels, Circadia Cocoa Enzyme Lactic Acid Treatment
CIRCADIA Gel Based Peels require neutralizing after treatment.
True
Enzymes are carbohydrates that enhance skin hydration and are not included in the powder base.
False
Glycolic acid does not need to be neutralized.
False
Enzymatic exfoliation is harsh and can cause significant irritation to the skin.
False
Chemical peeling is a gentle process that only hydrates the skin without causing any damage.
False
CIRCADIA Gel Based Peels promote cell turnover and increase collagen and elastin, however, ethanol-based peels do not require a different pre-treatment protocol and are suitable for all skin types.
False
Clients with a history of cold sores should see a physician for prophylactic treatment, because untreated cold sores can lead to complications during skin treatments.
True
The use of ethanol-based peels leads to a slower penetration of the peel ingredients into the skin, whereas gel-based peels penetrate more quickly.
False
Enzymatic exfoliation is considered less controlled and gentle compared to chemical peels, due to its specificity in targeting only the dead components of the skin, whereas chemical peels can penetrate shallower and may cause less irritation and downtime.
False
Chemical peels, which involve the use of destructive chemical agents, can result in significant skin improvements as they remove damaged layers and promote new tissue growth, however, enzymatic exfoliation is a harsher method that specifically targets dead skin components.
False
CIRCADIA Gel Based Peels require neutralizing after treatment.
True
Enzymes are carbohydrates that enhance skin hydration and are not included in the powder base.
False
Glycolic acid does not need to be neutralized.
False
Enzymatic exfoliation is harsh and can cause significant irritation to the skin.
False
Chemical peeling is a gentle process that only hydrates the skin without causing any damage.
False
Neutralizing the acid on the surface of the skin (as we see in the video) is optional for gel-based peels, whereas failing to do so can lead to reduced activity of the peel on the skin.
False
The use of gel-based peels, which sit on the surface of the skin, leads to a higher sensation of discomfort compared to ethanol-based peels that penetrate deeply into the skin.
False
The treatment (as we also see in the video) involves multiple neutralizing sprays to ensure the acid is neutralized before removal.
True
In the video we learn that the purpose of using polyethylene glycol base in skin treatments is that it consists of relatively inert materials that sit on the surface of the skin. This allows the product to break down the protein layer by layer without penetrating deeply into the skin, making it suitable for leave-on cosmetics. Additionally, it provides a gentler application compared to ethanol-based products, minimizing discomfort for the client.
True
In the video it is mentioned that the Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel is designed to solubilize mineral makeups and has anti-aging benefits due to its enzyme modulating peptides.
False
The benefits of lactic acid mentioned in the video are that lactic acid helps to stimulate natural moisturizing factors in the skin, functions as a skin lightener, and acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor.
True
What do enzymes digest?
Proteins
What is lactic acid recommended for?
Sensitive skins
What is the purpose of chemical peeling?
Wound skin
Imagine a client with a history of hypersensitivity and a compromised lipid barrier wants to undergo a CIRCADIA Lactic Acid Peel. How should you proceed to ensure their safety and achieve the desired results?
The client should be advised against the CIRCADIA Lactic Acid Peel due to contraindications, and an alternative treatment should be considered.
Imagine you are developing a new skincare product that targets both anti-aging and acne-prone skin. Based on the enzyme properties described, which combination of enzymes would you choose to include in your product, and why?
I would choose to include Bromelain and Papain enzymes because Bromelain has anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for acne-prone skin, and Papain helps with exfoliation, which is useful for both anti-aging and acne treatment.
Imagine a person with sensitive skin who wants to improve their skin texture and reduce pigmentation. They are considering using lactic acid and azelaic acid. How should they apply these acids to maximize benefits while minimizing irritation?
They should apply lactic acid first due to its hydrating and mild nature, followed by azelaic acid for its anti-inflammatory and pigmentation-reducing properties, ensuring to use a moisturizer and sun protection to minimize irritation.
A client with oily, acne-prone skin wants to improve their skin texture and reduce acne. Which type of exfoliation would be most effective, and why?
Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) would be most effective because they are oil-soluble and can penetrate through follicles and sebaceous glands to dissolve follicular impactions.
Imagine a patient with sensitive skin is considering a chemical peel to address mild discoloration. Which type of peel would be most suitable for them, and why?
A superficial peel using polyhydroxy acids would be most suitable because they are gentle and work more superficially, causing less irritation.
How do lactic acid peels enhance skin hydration?
They increase natural moisturizers and ceramides.
Why is it important to mix powder and activator just before use?
To maintain enzyme activity and effectiveness.
How do factors of permeability influence acid treatment effectiveness?
They determine product penetration and skin response.
Why is it important to consider skin type when choosing exfoliation methods?
Different methods target specific skin concerns effectively.
