The AFA chemical peel is an amino acid antioxidant based peel which helps remove dulling dead skin cells on the surface and stimulates cells within the skin to create a polished and glowing complexion. AFA stands for amino filaggrin based antioxidants. The amino acids in the formula take after the amino acids that occur naturally in your skin, and thus do not trigger allergic reactions. The amino acids work to exfoliate and provide antioxidants, while moisturizing the skin. Effective exfoliation can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduce visible hyper pigmentation (age spots) and promote a more youthful and beautiful appearance to the skin. The antioxidants will help to promote a more healthy appearance of the skin, and there is little or no irritation. Along with good exfoliation, greater moisture retention in the skin helps even further reduce the appearance of fine lines. It is one of the newest and most popular chemical peel treatments available because it is very effective and can treat acne, uneven pigmentation, and dull rough skin, and sun damaged skin. The AFA peel is also an excellent pre-treatment for acne laser treatments or acne laser treatments and will help to increase better results.
The AFA peel exfoliates dead skin with less irritation than typical alpha-hydroxy peels. Peels are remarkably effective, and available only through medical professionals. To maintain his mantra for using the most effective yet least invasive and pain free procedures, Dr. Sanusi Umar of the FineTouch Dermatology Clinic in Los Angeles has introduced the AFA chemical peels regimen by Ferndale. Unlike other chemical peels in the market, this special and unique AFA formula from Ferndale delivers the least painful and least invasive chemical peeling while delivering the maximum acidity for the most optimal results. Patients are able to undergo this procedure during their “lunch breaks”, due to the lack of downtime with this procedure. The result is luminous, subtle, younger looking skin. This can be used alone or in combination with the Clear Light laser for skin rejuvenation or acne treatment. An in-clinic Rx regimen is administered in series at the clinic. Take home self treatment kits are also available.
