The Green Peel® is a natural, plant-based skin resurfacing treatment that promotes skin regeneration and improves various skin concerns. It was developed over 60 years ago by Dr. Christine Schrammek and is widely used in professional skincare. The peel contains a blend of herbs, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins, and it offers a gentle alternative to chemical peels.

The treatment is suitable for many skin types and conditions, including acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and dull or uneven skin tone. The Green Peel is available in three levels of intensity to address different skin concerns and individual needs.

Types of Green Peel Treatments

The Green Peel system consists of three variations:

Classic (Intense Peeling):
- A deeper peel for significant skin rejuvenation.
- Targets scars, large pores, pigmentation, and severe acne.
- Includes noticeable peeling after the treatment, similar to a chemical peel.
Energy (Moderate Peeling):
- A medium-intensity treatment that improves skin regeneration.
- Ideal for early signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and mild acne.
- May cause slight redness but generally no visible peeling.
Fresh Up (Mild Peeling):
- A gentle peel designed to enhance radiance and refresh the skin.
- Suitable for dull skin, minor imperfections, or as a preventative treatment.
- No downtime or peeling occurs with this option.

Procedure Steps

The Green Peel is performed in a professional skincare clinic or spa by a trained specialist. Here’s how it typically works:

1. Consultation

A skin analysis is performed to assess your skin type, concerns, and suitability for the treatment.
The therapist decides which Green Peel intensity (Classic, Energy, or Fresh Up) is appropriate.

2. Pre-Treatment

The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Any specific skin concerns, like acne spots or scars, may be prepped for targeted treatment.

3. Application of the Green Peel

The Green Peel herbal mixture is massaged into the skin for 10-15 minutes (the duration depends on the treatment level).
For the Classic peel, this massage is more intense, stimulating deeper penetration.
The herbs provide a light exfoliating effect and stimulate blood circulation, metabolism, and collagen production.

4. Post-Treatment Care

The peel is removed, and calming or hydrating skincare products are applied.
For the Classic peel, a specific aftercare regimen is provided, which may include a soothing cream and other products to use over the next 5-7 days.

Aftercare and Downtime

Classic Peel:
- Visible peeling starts around day 3 and lasts 5-7 days.
- Avoid direct sunlight, heavy sweating, or harsh skincare products during this time.
- A follow-up treatment or facial (called the “Beauty Finish”) is done after one week to reveal refreshed skin.
Energy and Fresh Up:
- Minimal to no downtime.
- Redness may occur for a few hours but resolves quickly.
- Gentle skincare products are recommended to protect the skin.
