The answer is, yes! Green Peel® is safe for dark skin tones.
Clients with darker skin (Fitzpatrick classification IV – VI) are more susceptible to complications following aesthetic procedures due to the higher probability of developing an inflammatory response to a physical or chemical irritation, such as hyperpigmentation.
The GREEN PEEL® is unique in that it is not chemical but rather a combination of 8 carefully selected herbs, rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes, which are massaged into the skin and effectively treat a variety of skin concerns simultaneously, such as pigmentation, ageing, acne, poor skin tone, scarring and stretch marks.
This specific technique enables the practitioner to control the pressure, strength, and depth of the peel throughout the treatment, therefore lowering the risk of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
But how does GREEN PEEL® work in the skin?
In the days following the treatment, the body views the herbs as foreign and wants to expel them, blood circulation is stimulated, oxygen is pushed into the cells, and the skin’s metabolism is activated, speeding up the cell renewal process.
There are 3 GREEN PEEL® methods available, characterised by treatment depth as well as length of downtime, and by following the correct protocol, each method safely and effectively treats all skin types:
- Fresh Up is a light, controlled exfoliating treatment that offers a radiant glow.
- Energy is a treatment in which the aesthetician applies more pressure and massages the herbs into the skin for a longer period; this medium-depth treatment will cause visible peeling on the skin.
- Classic is a deep peel where the herbs are massaged at intensity for up to 8 minutes to produce maximum peeling and outstanding results.
All patients, not just those with darker skin tones, begin their GREEN PEEL® journey with Fresh Up and, depending on the skin condition and patient tolerance, move their way slowly through each method to achieve the required result. A tailored Homecare Kit is provided, which significantly supports the skin while it’s healing, speeds up the peeling process and enhances the results.
Kgomotso, owner of The Skinstitute in Johannesburg and a long-time practitioner of GREEN PEEL®, says:
“I love using GREEN PEEL® on my clients because it safely treats a variety of skin conditions on dark skin. I have moved each patient through the methods and now perform deep treatments on patients who require it, such as scarring and pigmentation, with no complications. Just even, brighter, and healthier complexions.”
