What is Milano RePeel anyway? Scientific Basis for Short Downtime

The biggest concern many people have about cosmetic procedures is "downtime. Especially for peeling procedures such as the Milan RePeel, people may wonder, "Will it peel too much? How long will the redness last? and "How long will the redness last? Milan RePeel is called the "next generation peel" not only because of its high efficacy, but also because of its short downtime, which overturns the conventional wisdom of peels.

In this section, we will first clarify how Milano Peel works to nurture beautiful skin, and then look at the scientific basis for why it has been able to reduce downtime so much. Let us change your vague fears about the procedure into solid knowledge and conviction.

How the next generation peel "Milan RePeel" works to nurture the skin

Milano RePeel is a treatment that was born from the concept of "nurturing the skin," which is distinctly different from conventional peels that simply remove dead skin cells. The secret lies in its ability to approach not only the surface of the skin (epidermis), but also the deeper "dermis" layer.

When the main ingredient, TCA (trichloroacetic acid), penetrates into the dermal layer, it activates the "fibroblasts" that control skin firmness and elasticity. This strongly promotes the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for beautiful skin. In other words, it not only temporarily solves problems on the surface of the skin, but also rebuilds the very foundation of the skin, leading to younger looking skin from the inside out.

This fundamental approach is effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including

  • Improved elasticity and luminosity: Increased collagen lifts the skin from the inside out, making it more elastic and radiant.
  • Improvement of spots, dullness, and pigmentation: Normalizes turnover (skin renewal) and encourages the elimination of melanin pigments.
  • Improvement of pore size and blackheads: Improves clogged and open pores by regulating sebum secretion and promoting turnover.
  • Improvement of acne and acne scars: Smoothes out cratered acne scars by collagen production while reducing inflammation of acne through its antibacterial action.

Milan RePeel is also available in two formulations, depending on the thickness of the skin. The facial formulation with TCA concentration 35% is used for the face, neck, and décolleté, where the skin is thin, and the body formulation with TCA concentration 50% is used for the back, buttocks, elbows, and knees, where the skin is thicker, making it a great feature to improve skin texture throughout the body.

Why shorter downtime? Differences from other peels

Why is the downtime so short for such a powerful peel that works down to the dermis layer?" --This is a natural question. In fact, conventional peels using TCA, which is the same as Milan RePeel, have a long downtime with strong redness, inflammation, and scab formation after the treatment in exchange for their high effectiveness.

This challenge was overcome by the internationally patented "two-layer structure" technology used in Milano RePeel. By dividing the formulation into the following two layers, we succeeded in minimizing irritation to the surface of the skin while maintaining its effectiveness.

  1. Lipophilic layer (blue layer)
    It is an oil-based liquid that acts as a gentle protective film on the skin surface during treatment. This layer prevents excessive evaporation of moisture from the skin, helps active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin, and dramatically reduces the strong irritation to the epidermis caused by TCA (a whitening phenomenon called frosting).
  2. Hydrophilic layer (yellow layer)
    It contains a wide variety of active ingredients such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid), amino acids, and vitamins. Because the skin surface is protected by a lipophilic layer, these ingredients are efficiently delivered to the targeted dermal layer without causing damage.

In other words, Milano RePeel's revolutionary technology "delivers only active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the skin's surface" maintains TCA's greatest merit of promoting collagen production, while significantly reducing the long downtime that has been a disadvantage.

This is the scientific basis for the Milano RePeel's much shorter downtime and milder symptoms such as redness and peeling. It is truly the crystallization of technology for a safe and comfortable treatment.

 

Five benefits you can expect from Milan RePeel!

The main attraction of Milano RePeel is that it responds to not only one problem but also complex skin issues through its approach of rebuilding the skin from the foundation up.

Effect 1|Luminescence and luster from within

One week after the treatment, when you look in the mirror, you will notice that the surface of your skin is smoother and has a vital glow that seems to glow from within. It is so luminous that it is a shame to apply foundation.

When you touch your cheeks with your fingers, you will feel a different elasticity and firmness that pushes back, unlike before. Not only will you experience a much better foundation application, but you will also experience the joy of using less foundation itself.

Effect 2|Even and clear skin tone with no uneven coloration

Pale spots on the cheeks and hyperpigmentation of acne scars that have been carefully concealed with concealer. With each Milano RePeel, they gradually fade away and the overall skin tone becomes more even. The entire face looks one tone brighter, and even in the evening, the face does not look dull, and the clear, transparent skin lasts all day long.

Effect 3|Smooth and smooth poreless skin

Open pores and blackheads on the cheeks and nose plague many people. By regulating the turnover, the problem of foundation falling out of pores is eliminated. The texture of the skin becomes finer and smooth to the touch, giving it a china-like texture. You can aim for a clean skin that gives you confidence even when you are seen at close range.

Effect 4|Improvement of repeated acne and troublesome acne scars

Milan RePeel not only soothes existing inflamed acne, but also balances sebum and leads to a healthy skin texture that is less prone to acne.

In addition, due to the collagen-generating effect, the unevenness of crater-like acne scars, which had been almost given up on, can be expected to gradually become smoother with repeated treatments, and can be easily concealed with makeup.

Effect 5|A beautiful body you can show with confidence

Milano RePeel specializes in improving the quality of skin not only on the face but also on the body. It improves acne, acne scars, and roughness on the back, which are difficult to take care of by yourself, and gives you skin that you can wear open décolletage clothes and swimsuits with confidence. It also helps to reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the elbows and knees, which are often overlooked, and gives you the beauty of the whole body.

What is the recommended frequency and frequency to maximize effectiveness?

You may have felt, "If it works this well, I can't wait to try it. Milano RePeel is characterized by the fact that it is easy to notice changes in the skin's luminosity and makeup application even after just one treatment. It is also very popular as a special care before an important event.

However, the true value of Milano RePeel lies in its ability to fundamentally improve the quality of the skin itself and nurture stable, beautiful skin that is less prone to problems. In order to maximize its potential, it is extremely important to continue treatment multiple times.

The skin turnover (rebirth) cycle is generally said to be approximately 28 days. By regularly repeating treatments in accordance with this skin regeneration cycle, collagen production in the dermis layer will be stable and continuous, and the skin's foundation will be steadily rebuilt.

Based on medical evidence, it is generally recommended to continue the treatment once every three to four weeks for a course of about five sessions. By the end of the first course, many people have experienced a fundamental improvement in skin quality, rather than a transient effect.

However, this is only a standard guideline. The optimal treatment plan will differ for each individual, depending on your current skin condition, the depth of your skin problems, and the extent to which you wish to achieve beautiful skin. The most reliable shortcut to your ideal skin is to have a consultation with a doctor who has a wealth of expertise, and discuss with him or her the number of times and frequency of treatments that are truly necessary for your skin.

 

Milano Repeal Downtime|Real Symptoms and Duration

In the previous section, we explained why Milano RePeel's internationally patented technology has significantly reduced downtime and the scientific background behind its effectiveness. Even if we know that the downtime is theoretically short, we may still have specific questions such as, "Then, what symptoms will I actually have after the procedure and for how long? We are sure that you will have specific questions such as, "How long will the symptoms last after the treatment?

From here, we will go into the full downtime of Milano RePeel, which is what you want to know the most. We will provide a thorough explanation of the symptoms that may occur, the real progression of the procedure in chronological order, and the truth about the "peeling" that many people are concerned about. By gaining a clear picture of what you can expect after the procedure, you will be prepared to face the day of the procedure with peace of mind and eliminate any vague anxiety.

Symptoms that may occur during downtime

After the Milano RePeel treatment, the skin may show some changes. However, many of the symptoms we are about to introduce are evidence that the drug has reached deep into the skin and the process of skin beautification has started normally. By understanding them as temporary "turnaround reactions," you can deal with them calmly and without excessive worry.

(1) Redness, burning sensation

This is a sign that the drug has stimulated blood circulation and metabolism in the skin. It usually appears immediately after the treatment, but it usually settles down naturally within a few hours to the next day.

(2) Dryness and tightness

During the process of rapid skin turnover (rebirth), the skin's ability to retain moisture is temporarily reduced, making it easier to feel dry. This is why post-treatment moisturizing care is extremely important.

(iii) Itch

It may occur when the skin is dry or when the turnover process begins to exfoliate dead skin cells. This is also a normal reaction, but scratching the skin can cause inflammation and hyperpigmentation, so it should be handled by cooling the skin and keeping it thoroughly moisturized.

(4) Thin peeling

Around the second or third day after the treatment, thin skin may peel off like after a sunburn, mainly around the mouth and thin skin areas such as the face line. This is a result of the accelerated turnover process, which pushes out old keratin, and usually subsides spontaneously in a few days.

The appearance and severity of these symptoms vary from person to person, but they are all important steps in the skin's renewal process.

Timeline! General course of downtime

To give you a concrete idea of what to expect after the procedure, let's take a look at the general course of downtime in chronological order. Please use this as a reference when planning your treatment, comparing it to your own schedule.

time Main Symptoms How to spend your time
Immediately after treatment Slightly reddish, hot flushed
Skin tightness
Makeup may be applied, but be careful not to rub too hard. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption.
Same day/night to next day . Redness is often almost completely gone.
Dryness may intensify.
Use a non-irritating cleanser and moisturize more thoroughly than usual.
2 to 3 days later Thin, peeling skin may begin (especially around the mouth)
Dryness and itching may also occur.
Do not force the skin peeling off, wait for it to peel off naturally. Sunscreen is essential.
4-7 days later Peeling settles and new skin appears.
Gradually begin to feel a sense of firmness and luster
Continue to moisturize and protect against UV rays. This is the time to improve skin tone.

The above process is only a general guideline. Please understand that the appearance and duration of symptoms may vary from person to person depending on skin type and physical condition.

Does peeling always happen? Why do some people do not?

The most common concern about the downtime of Milano RePeel is probably "peeling. We often hear comments such as, "I work in the hospitality industry, so I don't want the skin to peel too much," or "Won't it be effective without peeling?" We often hear comments such as, "I work in customer service, so I don't want to be bothered if my skin peels too badly.

In conclusion, peeling does not always occur with Milano RePeel. And the presence or absence of peeling is by no means equal to the effectiveness of the treatment.

Peeling is a phenomenon in which old keratin is peeled off as a result of accelerated turnover, the extent of which is largely determined by the following factors.

(1) Original skin texture and stratum corneum

Those with skin that tends to be dry by nature or has a thickened horny layer tend to have a tendency to experience visible peeling. On the other hand, those with oily skin or those with a well-conditioned horny layer due to daily peeling care may experience very mild peeling or no peeling at all.

(2) Moisture content of skin

When the skin is sufficiently hydrated before the treatment, the skin barrier function functions normally and irritation from the drug is mitigated, which may reduce the likelihood of skin peeling.

Number of treatments

It is not uncommon to find that the skin does not peel as much the second or third time as it did the first time, because as the turnover of the skin becomes normalized after repeated treatments, the amount of unnecessary keratin that should be peeled off itself decreases.

What is important is the fact that even without visible peeling, collagen production is powerfully stimulated by TCA in the deeper layers of the skin, the dermis. It is a complete misunderstanding to think that the lack of peeling is a failure.

Rather, less peeling is an indication that the skin is in good condition. Try to focus on the positive changes that are occurring inside the skin, rather than on the visible reactions.

 

Minimize downtime for Milan RePeel! Pre- and post-treatment care points!

In the previous chapter, we discussed in detail the symptoms that can occur during the downtime of a Milan RePeel and its realistic course. Even though we understand that this is a normal process for skin renewal, we still want to overcome redness and peeling as short and comfortable as possible.

In fact, the duration and degree of downtime of Milano Peel symptoms can be largely controlled depending on "preparation" before the procedure and "self-care" afterwards.

Here, from a physician's point of view, we will introduce some points for pre- and post-treatment care to minimize downtime and maximize the effects of Milano RePeel. With the correct knowledge, you will be well-prepared to achieve your ideal beautiful skin.

Before the procedure, there are three precautions that you should follow.

Preparation to maximize the effects of Milano RePeel and avoid unnecessary skin problems actually begins several weeks before the procedure. The first step to success is to condition your own skin before visiting the clinic.

Point 1|Discontinue use of retinol and tretinoin products.

Vitamin A derivatives, retinol and tretinoin, are popular ingredients for anti-aging and acne treatment because of their ability to promote skin turnover.

However, if used before the peeling procedure, the drug may have an excessive effect. To avoid unexpected strong redness and severe peeling, please discontinue the use of cosmetics and medicines containing these ingredients one to two weeks prior to the procedure.

Point 2|Avoid excessive tanning

Sunburn is the same condition as having a minor burn on the skin. Peeling on sensitive skin that has been damaged by UV rays and has a reduced barrier function greatly increases the risk of causing severe pain, inflammation, and unexpected hyperpigmentation after the procedure.

Before the treatment, be sure to take thorough UV protection with sunscreen, hats, umbrellas, etc. for at least one month, and preferably on a regular basis.

Point 3|Confirm the condition of the skin at the treatment site

Make sure the area to be treated is free of cuts, abrasions, herpes, or acne that is highly inflamed. Scars or inflammation on the skin may allow the drug to penetrate deeper than necessary, causing excessive irritation that may delay healing and leave a scar.

If you have any symptoms that concern you, do not judge for yourself, and be sure to discuss them with your doctor at the time of your appointment or consultation.

After the procedure: Proper skin care during downtime

Approximately one week after the procedure is the most important period for beautiful skin renewal. It is no exaggeration to say that skin care during this period greatly determines the length of downtime and the beauty of the final result. Be sure to follow the following three ironclad rules.

Moisturizing: Thoroughly supports the skin's barrier function

Post-treatment skin is very delicate and temporarily dry due to the process of active turnover. It is a top priority during this period to keep the skin moisturized "more than usual" and to help the skin's barrier function.

Choose a hypoallergenic lotion or moisturizing cream that contains ceramide, which binds moisture to the skin, hyaluronic acid, which holds moisture in, and glycyrrhizic acid, which reduces inflammation. Sheet masks are also effective, but products for sensitive skin that do not contain alcohol or fragrance are safer.

UV protection: an absolute requirement to prevent hyperpigmentation

UV rays are the greatest enemy to unprotected skin after treatment. Exposure to UV rays at this time of year is like creating your own risk of blemishes and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Sunscreen should always be used when going outside and even when indoors or on cloudy days.

It is recommended to use non-chemical (UV absorber-free) products with SPF30/PA++ or higher, which are less harmful to the skin, and to reapply every 2 to 3 hours.

Facial cleansing and makeup: "Do not scrub and do not irritate" thoroughly

Friction should be avoided on the skin during downtime. When washing the face, lather the cleanser thoroughly and gently roll it over the skin, using the foam as a cushion. Rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water can promote skin dryness.

When wiping off moisture with a towel, do not scrub vigorously, but press gently. For makeup remover, avoid oil cleansers with strong cleansing power, and use milk or gel type cleansers that are less harsh on the skin.

List of NG behaviors to avoid during downtime!

Along with proper skin care, it is also very important to avoid "NG behaviors" that can delay skin recovery or cause problems. Check carefully to see if there are any behaviors that you tend to do inadvertently.

NG act 1|Forcibly removing the skin

Although it is tempting to touch the skin when it begins to peel, you should never force it off. Forced peeling can damage the skin underneath, which has not yet fully grown, causing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and crater-like marks. Wait for the skin to peel off naturally.

NG act 2|Use of cosmetics with scrubbing or peeling action

The use of cleansers containing gommage or scrubs, and exfoliating cosmetics containing AHA (fruit acids) or BHA (salicylic acids) should be avoided for at least two weeks after the procedure. They can significantly reduce the skin's barrier function and cause serious skin problems.

NG act 3|Actions that excessively promote blood circulation

Prolonged bathing, saunas, strenuous exercise, and excessive alcohol consumption increase blood circulation throughout the body. This may cause prolonged or intense redness and burning sensations after the procedure. It is wise to refrain from these activities as much as possible, such as showering for about a week until the downtime settles down.

 

summary

In this section, we have delved into the downtime of Milano RePeel from multiple angles, including possible symptoms, a realistic timeline, and specific pre- and post-treatment care methods to minimize the downtime. The important point is that downtime for Milan RePeel is relatively short, and with proper knowledge and thorough moisturization and UV protection, the risk can be greatly reduced.

You also understand that peeling does not necessarily mean "proof of effectiveness," and that symptoms manifest themselves differently depending on your skin type.
