Lactobionic acid 50% pH 1.7 (chemical peeling)

Lactobionic acid 50% pH 1.7 is a preparation for exfoliation treatment. It regulates the keratinisation of the epidermis, smooths and reduces wrinkles, improves the elasticity of the skin and reduces hyperpigmentation. Carry out an exfoliation treatment – lactobionic acid for the face and décolleté, followed by a selection of post-treatment preparations from the Special Aesthetics line.

✓ Lactobionic acid peeling can be used all year round as it does not exhibit phototoxic effects.

Lactobionic acid – indications:

• demanding sensitive skin
• vascular skin, with a tendency to redness
• disorders of atopic dermatitis
• symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD)
• symptoms of seborrhoeic dermatitis (SEA)
• dry, dehydrated skin

Lactobionic acid – effects:

• strengthens capillaries and reduces erythema
• repares the epidermal barrier
• hydrates and anti-ageing
• reinforces the skin’s repair mechanisms
• stimulates collagen synthesis
• is a powerful antioxidant
• increases protection against the effects of UV rays

What do we know about lactobionic acid?

✓ Lactobionic acid belongs to the bionic acid group and is a combination of the polyhydroxy acid gluconolactone with the sugar galactose. Like other hydroxy acids, it has slightly exfoliating properties, but is devoid of irritant properties. Lactobionic acid is used for sensitive and dry skin, as well as vascular and erythematous skin. It is also used for the topical treatment of telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels) and rosacea.
✓ It has strong antioxidant properties – fights free radicals. Inhibits the action of metalloproteinases of the extracellular space of the epidermis therefore prevents the formation of wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Enhances repair mechanisms (by stimulating collagen synthesis), provides protection against the effects of UV rays.
✓ This acid additionally has a strong moisturising effect and the ability to bind water and form a protective layer on the skin surface, which makes the skin smooth and soft, and this strengthens the protective function of the epidermal barrier. Studies have confirmed a significant improvement in the mechanical parameters and texture of photo-aged skin and a significant increase in skin thickness. Lactobionic acid is used for regulation of sebum secretion in acne skin therapy.
✓ These treatments can be performed throughout the year because lactobionic acid does not cause a risk of hyperpigmentation. However, it is necessary to apply high UVA/UVB protection after each exfoliation treatment.
