ph formula skin resurfacing

What is pHformula?

pHformula is the first pharma-cosmeceutical treatment line which is the result of an innovative alliance between cosmeceutical and medical prescriptions. The pHformula treatment system is based on the technology of regenerative medicine with the concept of creating controlled chemical skin resurfacing. The action of controlled chemical skin resurfacing is totally different to conventional skin peels. Conventional skin peels mainly cause skin exfoliation, whereas controlled resurfacing actively provokes an accelerated form of cell regeneration in the different layers in the skin, whilst trauma and superficial irritation are reduced.

Developed as a dermatological skin resurfacing system pHformula successfully treats skin disorders like ageing, hyperpigmentation, acne and chronic redness. This action is achieved through the mechanism of a unique bio-availability delivery complex (PH-DVC™) that ensures maximum controlled delivery of actives without any negative side effects normally seen with conventional peelings. pHformula unique combination of skin resurfacing actives at maximum strength and is uniquely combines alpha Keto, Alpha Hydroxy, Alpha Beta and Poly Hydroxy acids, with the enhanced feature of PH-DVCtm bio availability delivery complex.

There are four different types of pHformula resurfacing treatments including:

-M.E.LA.- for Pigmentation

-A.G.E-for Anti-ageing

-A.C-for Acne

-C.R-for Rosacea

Treatments require prescription homecare kits.

  • Your skin will be cleansed and then decreased. A unique patented skin permeability solution will be applied. The resurfacing treatment is then applied, your skin is then calmed, hydrated and protected.

  • The unique pHformula powerclay formula used in the M.E.L.A. resurfacing treatments is a powerful hyperpigmentation treatment designed to reduce the accumulation of epidermally located melanin. It effectively inhibits the enzymatic activity of tyrosinase, whilst stimulating epidermal differentiation and therefore accelerates epidermal cellular turnover causing the removal of already formed melanin pigment. Due to the innovative highly effective mode of action, significant visible results are obtained with minimal risk.
