MEDIDERMA® ARGIPEEL EXFOLIATING GEL

Key Uses of Argipeel Exfoliating Gel 

Argipeel Exfoliating Gel is best suited for very sensitive skin that is intolerant to other chemical peels. This product redefines the skin’s surface and helps to reduce skin sensitivity over time. It can be used to enhance the effects of other peels aimed at skin rejuvenation, skin lightening, and brightening delicate areas. The formula is also safe for use in sensitive areas, including the genital region, undereye area, and for addressing dark circles. As it promotes hydration and smooth texture, it is ideal for those looking to improve the overall health and appearance of their skin with minimal irritation.

Administration Method for Argipeel Exfoliating Gel 

Argipeel Exfoliating Gel application is easy and only requires a few steps:

1. Start by thoroughly cleansing the face and neck to remove any surface oils and impurities. 
2. Apply a thin, even layer of the gel to the skin, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eyes and lips. 
3. Allow the gel to work for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the skin’s tolerance. 
4. After the treatment time, rinse the gel off thoroughly with lukewarm water, and gently pat the skin dry. 

After 5 or 6 applications, there are noticeable improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and moisture levels.

Guidelines for Proper Aftercare

After using Argipeel Exfoliating Gel, it is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and minimise any risk of irritation. Patients should be instructed to avoid sun exposure for 24-48 hours following treatment, as the skin may be more sensitive. If the patient must go outdoors, they should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin. Additionally, they should also be avoiding using other active skincare ingredients, such as retinoids or strong acids, for at least one week after the peel to allow the skin to fully recover.

Duration of Argipeel Exfoliating Gel Effects

The effects of Argipeel Exfoliating Gel can be noticed quite quickly. Most users report smoother, softer skin within the first 4 weeks of use. After about 6 weeks, the skin’s texture and elasticity improve significantly, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines. Long-term use of Argipeel can lead to firmer, more youthful-looking skin, with ongoing improvements in skin tone and hydration. 

Potential Risks and Side Effects

While Argipeel Exfoliating Gel is formulated for sensitive skin, some mild side effects may occur. These can include mild redness or tingling during the application, which typically subsides after the peel is removed. As with any exfoliating treatment, sun sensitivity may increase, so it is vital to apply sunscreen after treatment.

Prolonged contact with the skin beyond the recommended 15 minutes can cause irritation or discomfort. 

Argipeel Exfoliating Gel Treatment Contraindications

This treatment is not recommended for individuals with active skin conditions (such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea), broken skin, or known allergies to any of the ingredients. It is also not recommended for individuals with severe acne lesions or any open wounds.
