Medik8 Prelase MD®

Alternative to Laser Resurfacing & Microdermabrasion
for the Face & Décolleté

Prelase can be very beneficial to the health and appearance of your skin, with improvements in 6 weeks or less:

• Improve skin tone and texture
• Clear acne & blackheads and prevent future outbreaks
• Reduce pore size
• Improve dark patches (hyperpigmentation)
• Improve appearance of scarring eg. acne scars
• Encourage collagen production
• Encourage new cell production

Alpha and Beta hydroxyacids are the term used for several naturally occurring fruit and other food acids which by removing dead skin cells, promote a blemish free appearance.

For all skin colours and types, Prelase combines the pre-eminent chemical resurfacing substrates: Glycolic, L-Lactic and Salicylic acids which help to loosen the dead cells of the skin surface from the stratum corneum.

You will see a more youthful, smoother and glowing complexion in as little as 6 weeks.

Remember only the L- form of Lactic Acid is an active hydroxy acid.
Ask if your current AHA product contains L-Lactic Acid.
Most contain the inactive D-Lactic Acid type.

Resultaten & Wetenschap

The epidermis (the outer layer which we can see and touch) is covered with a layer of dead skin cells, which flake off naturally and are replaced by newer, fresher looking cells from underneath. With age, sun exposure, pollution and other environmental factors, there is a slow down in this regeneration process. This causes the skin’s surface to be dull, dry and blemished, contributing to an aged appearance.

Prelase is used to ‘dissolve’ the outer layer of dead cells, revealing the underlying skin and promoting a smoother, brighter, healthier appearance. With ongoing treatments, Prelase can improve dry skin, age spots & hyperpigmentation, oily & acne-prone skin and fine lines.

An ideal treatment for those who can’t find the time for regular deep-peel and laser resurfacing salon treatments.

Why is the pH level important?

Dermatologists have determined that for a peel treatment (fast peel, not leave-on) to be effective, the pH level must be between 2.5 & 3.0.

Why? If the pH is above 3.0, the treatment will not exfoliate the skin enough to be beneficial. If the pH is below 2.5, the treatment can actually be damaging to the skin, destroying protective barriers that aren't meant to be broken. This eventually has the opposite effect of Prelase and results in dry skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

Directions

Use no more than once weekly as part of exfoliating protocol. Apply to clean dry skin; Apply a thin layer of Prelase to face, avoiding upper & lower eyelids and lips. For initial session, leave on for 5 mins, gradually building up to 20-30 mins, depending on tolerance. Remove thoroughly with tepid water, pat dry and if used, apply Injection-Free, solution-based products, hydrator, sunscreen or make-up.

Note: Mild stinging, redness & flakiness is normal. If aggressive however, discontinue using product. Do not use on broken skin, or if undergoing professional resurfacing treatment. Avoid sunbeds & sunbathing at all times.
