What is the AFA Clay Peel™?

The AFA Clay Peel is the newest and most revolutionary treatment in skin care and Pierre Skin Care Institute is the only place in the Conejo Valley to offer it. This is an antioxidant facial that delivers all the same benefits of a chemical peel without the irritation. In fact, it's so revolutionary it's patented! In addition, it adds moisture back to the skin rather than stripping it away. The AFA Clay Peel is a superior treatment for sun damage, aging skin, and discoloration, and can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. It is specifically formulated to improve the tone and texture of the skin in those delicate areas. It is remarkably effective and, unlike other treatments, requires no recovery time. The AFA Clay Peel is a simple, two-step, non-surgical “lunchtime” procedure that will reward you immediately with softer, smoother, younger-looking skin after the first treatment. A series of 4-6 treatments is recommended for optimal results.

What are AFAs?

This unique and patented skin care formula stands for Amino acid Filaggrin based Antioxidants.  The Amino Acids in this formula occur naturally and act as antioxidants and exfoliants.  Unlike glycolic acids, they help retain moisture in your skin and are much more effective at skin rejuvenation with little or no irritation.

What results can I expect from the AFA Clay Peel™?

Over time our skin ages and accumulates damage due to sun exposure.  Skin texture becomes coarse, and fine lines along with pigmentation irregularities (age spots) begin to appear.  A series of AFA Clay Peels can reverse these effects and give you dramatic results.  Your skin will feel softer, smoother and tighter after the first treatment.  The recommended full series of treatments will further improve your fine lines, age spots, and even enlarged pores will appear refined.  Using the AFA home care program will accelerate and maximize your results, as well as help you maintain your youthful skin once you complete the series of treatments. In fact, the AFA Gel (available for home use) has been found to be even more effective than prescription bleaching creams.

What is the treatment like?

After cleansing and drying your face, the AFA Clay Mask is applied in a thin coat and left on for approximately 5 minutes.  The mask is then gently removed with water, followed by the application of a thin layer of the AFA Peel for several more minutes.  During both steps you will experience some mild stinging.  The peel is then rinsed off and a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to the skin.

Who is a good candidate for the AFA Clay Peel™?

Anyone concerned about their appearance would benefit from this procedure.  People with uneven pigmentation, fine lines, or sun-damaged skin do particularly well.
