Cold Peel: Bright Skin, No Burn

Nov 17

Looking for transformative skin results without the sting of a traditional peel? The Cimel Cold Peel delivers exactly that. This professional-grade treatment targets acne, uneven tone, pigmentation, and fine lines using a powerhouse blend of ingredients like Retinol, Alpha-Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. But what makes it different? It’s designed to correct, not to shock. There’s no harsh in-clinic burn or multiple layers. Just one thin, expertly applied coat activates a controlled peeling process that resurfaces your skin over the following days, leaving you brighter, clearer, and more confident by week’s end.

What to Expect from the Process Your skin is cleansed and prepped before your aesthetician applies a single, even layer of the Cimel Activator. You’ll feel a bit of warmth and a light tingling sensation, but nothing intense. There’s no massage or mask, this is a results-focused corrective peel, not a relaxation facial. You will be notified at what time you are required to wash off the peel. Within 24–48 hours, redness and tightness begin, followed by visible peeling or flaking between days 2 to 5. Most clients are fully healed by day 7 and notice improvements in tone, clarity, and texture by day 10–14.

Who This Treatment Is For The Cold Peel is ideal for clients who:

Are concerned with acne, pigmentation, scarring, or uneven tone
Are ready for medium-depth peeling and can tolerate visible flaking
Are committed to following the full post-care plan
Are not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or on photosensitizing medications

Real Correction, Not Just Glow This is the kind of peel that works under the surface. As your skin naturally sheds, it reveals a smoother, more even layer beneath. Clients often notice fewer breakouts, faded pigmentation, and a refined texture after just one treatment. Over time and especially with a series this peel strengthens the skin, reduces scarring, and restores a radiant, youthful complexion. And it’s safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI), making it a great choice for diverse skin types seeking real change.

Before session After 1 session

When and How Often? We recommend doing this treatment in the fall or winter, when UV exposure is easier to control.You’ll see visible results after just one session, but for full correction, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended. Your aesthetician will guide you through a tailored plan based on your skin goals.

Important Aftercare Reminders Post-peel care is non-negotiable for results and safety. Expect some redness and peeling starting on day 2 and lasting through day 5. During this time:

Avoid heat, exercise, steam, and sun exposure
Use only the post-care products recommended by your aesthetician
Don’t pick or peel any peeling skin—let the process unfold naturally
Skip all actives, retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for at least 7 days
Apply SPF 30+ daily, reapplying regularly

Want to Elevate the Results? While the Cimel Cold Peel stands powerfully on its own, your aesthetician may recommend pairing it with LED Light Therapy or Lymphatic Drainage before or after your peel series to boost recovery and support the skin's detox process. These enhancements are done separately, not during the same session but can make a noticeable difference in overall results.

A Final Word The Cimel Cold Peel isn’t about pampering, it’s about progress. It’s one of our most trusted options for clients who want visible change in tone, texture, or clarity, especially when other treatments haven't delivered. With just one treatment, you’re already on the path to stronger, clearer, more resilient skin, no harsh burning, just results you can see and feel.

Mela-Bright Peel: Target Pigmentation, Reveal Radiance

Oct 25

Stubborn dark spots? Uneven tone? The Mela-Bright Peel Series is a professional brightening system from Spain designed specifically to correct pigmentation issues like sun damage, melasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. What makes it different? It’s formulated to treat both fair and deep skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI) without triggering rebound pigmentation making it one of the safest pigment-correcting options available for ethnic skin. The advanced blend of ingredients in Mela-Bright works at multiple levels to regulate melanin production, gently resurface the skin, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion. Unlike generic peels, this treatment series combines targeted in-clinic applications with customized homecare for long-term pigment correction, not just a temporary glow.

What to Expect from the Process Your treatment begins in our express facial area. After your skin is cleansed and prepped, your aesthetician will apply the Mela-Bright peel in a single, even layer. You’ll likely feel a light tingling or mild warmth as the actives begin working. There is no massage or mask as this is a focused, corrective treatment. You’ll be given clear instructions on when to remove the peel at home and how to begin your prescribed post-care regimen. Peeling typically begins around day 2 or 3 and can last until day 5. During this time, you may experience some dryness, flaking, and redness, but most clients are fully healed by day 7 and begin noticing visible improvements in tone and clarity within 28 days.

Who This Treatment Is For The Mela-Bright Peel is ideal for clients who are concerned about:

Melasma
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Freckles or uneven skin tone
Sun damage

It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that are often more reactive to traditional peels. Most clients are in their late 20s or beyond and are looking for long-term clarity, not just surface-level glow.

Real Correction, Not Just Brightening What sets Mela-Bright apart is its ability to treat pigment without overstimulating the skin. It doesn’t just fade existing spots, it inhibits melanin production at the source by targeting the tyrosinase enzyme and promoting healthy cell turnover. And because it’s formulated to avoid rebound pigmentation, it’s especially safe for clients with darker skin tones who often can’t tolerate other chemical peels. With each session, pigmentation fades and skin becomes clearer, more even-toned, and visibly brighter. Clients often notice smoother texture, a reduction in dark patches, and a natural glow that builds with each treatment in the series.

When and How Often? While Mela-Bright can be done year-round with proper sun protection, fall and winter are ideal due to reduced UV exposure. The full protocol includes three treatments:

Initial in-clinic peel with customized homecare
Second in-clinic peel 30 days later
Third treatment 4–8 months after the second, based on your progress

After completing the series, your aesthetician will assess whether maintenance peels or complementary services are needed.

Important Aftercare Reminders Aftercare is critical for safe healing and optimal results. For the first few days post-treatment:

Avoid exercise, heat, and direct sun exposure
Use only the post-care products provided
Don’t pick or manually peel flaking skin
Skip exfoliants, retinols, and acids for at least 7–10 days
Wear SPF 30+ daily and reapply often

Your skin may feel dry, sensitive, or tight, but this is temporary and part of the process.

Want to Elevate the Results? To enhance your skin clarity and overall tone, your aesthetician may recommend combining your Mela-Bright series with treatments like Lymphatic Drainage, Microcurrent, or Nano Infusion. These add-ons help support circulation, collagen production, and hydration, accelerating the pigment-correcting benefits.

A Final Word The Mela-Bright Peel Series is more than just a chemical peel, it’s a strategic, layered approach to correcting pigmentation at the source. If you’ve tried brightening serums or exfoliating facials with minimal change, this may be the corrective plan your skin has been waiting for. With a commitment to the series and post-care, most clients see significant improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance without compromising skin safety.
