The approach at Pêche Skin Co brings a unique esthetics appraoch to Columbia, SC by blending calimng hands on technqiues with innovative products and services to truly address the causes of skin concerns through a more holistic lens. By focusing on overall skin wellness and making external beauty simply an added bonus, I’ve added BioRePeel to the Pêche repitoirse of treatments to meets the need for an effective, skin changing and high quality peel that does not disrupt the skin barrier or cause discomfort and disruption to your normal routine. It’s truly  a game-changer!

Here’s The Scoop:

Biorepeel is a medium depth chemical peel designed to renew and revitalize the skin. Unlike traditional chemical peels, Biorepeel relies on a combination of bioactive ingredients to promote skin regeneration, making it a gentler and more versatile option for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including sensitive or rosacea skin. 

This peel features cutting edge ingredient combos including:

  • Gaba -  a non essential aminoacid and the chief inhibitory  neurotransmitter in the our central nervous  system. It’s effect is nerve relaxation and consequent relaxation of the  muscles responsible of wrinkling. The result is an  effective anti-wrinkle action.

  • Glycine, Proline, and Vitamin C to assist help with collagen synthesis, provide a moisturizing effect, along with protecting the skin

  • TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA) - A carboxylic acid with exfoliating action and an indirect revitalizing action.

PLUS, it does some pretty amazing things and boasts all the following benefits while also having minimal disruption of the skin, unlike many medium depth peels that remove the entire protective barrier of the skin.

1. Gentle Exfoliation - One of the primary benefits of Biorepeel is its ability to gently exfoliate the skin's outermost layer. The treatment uses a unique blend of botanical extracts, enzymes, and acids to remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, luminous complexion underneath. This gentle exfoliation can help improve the appearance of dull, tired-looking skin.

2. Acne and Blemish Reduction - Biorepeel has shown remarkable results in reducing acne and blemishes. It helps to clear existing breakouts and also prevent new ones from forming, while also treating hyperpigmentation and acne scars. With a series of peels, you can enjoy a smoother, clearer complexion.

3. Skin Brightening - If you struggle with uneven skin tone, pigmentation issues, or sunspots, Biorepeel can be a game-changer. It helps to fade dark spots and discoloration, leaving your skin looking brighter and more radiant.

4. Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction - Biorepeel stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, which are essential for maintaining elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, this can result in a more youthful and plump complexion.

5. Hydration and Skin Health - Biorepeel is known for its hydrating properties by replenishing the skin's moisture levels, leaving it supple and dewy. The treatment also promotes overall skin health by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants, helping to combat the signs of aging and environmental damage.

6. Minimal Downtime - Unlike some other skin rejuvenation treatments, Biorepeel requires minimal downtime. You may experience some redness or mild peeling, but these side effects are generally short-lived and can be easily managed with at home skincare and SPF. This is an amazing “lunch time peel” and there’s no need to take a day off! 

7. Completely Customizable - Biorepeel is highly customizable to meet your specific skin care needs. We can tailor the treatment to address your concerns, whether it's acne, pigmentation, or fine lines, ensuring you get the most effective results.

The Benefits of LED Light

We’ve all heard the buzzwords - LED light, red light, light therapy, infrared therapy, LED masks but what the heck does it all mean?! LED light therapy is used for many treatments from skincare to pain management. LED, which stands for Light Emitting Diode, therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate various cellular processes in the body. Unlike more intense forms of light therapy, including UV Light or laser therapy, LED light therapy is gentle, painless, and does not damage the skin or underlying tissues.

Let’s Talk About The Benefits of LED Light Therapy!

We’ve all heard the buzzwords - LED light, red light, light therapy, infrared therapy, LED masks but what the heck does it all mean?!

LED light therapy is used for many treatments from skincare to pain management. LED, which stands for Light Emitting Diode, therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate various cellular processes in the body. Unlike more intense forms of light therapy, including UV Light or laser therapy, LED light therapy is gentle, painless, and does not damage the skin or underlying tissues.

The Benefits: 

  • Skin Rejuvenation: One of the most well-known applications of LED light therapy and my personal favorite as a licensed esthetician is its use in skincare. Different wavelengths of light can target specific skin concerns, such as acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and even facial pain. Red light, for instance, promotes collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful skin. Blue light, on the other hand, can help combat acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts over time.

  • Pain Relief and Inflammation: LED light therapy has shown promise in reducing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and joint pain. By enhancing blood circulation and promoting tissue repair, specific wavelengths of light can alleviate discomfort and support the body's natural healing processes. Use of LED during facials can be great for tension relief in the jaw or face, TMJD issues and more! 

  • Mood Enhancement: I love to pair LED light with a relaxation meditation to help clients go into Exposure to certain wavelengths of light, particularly blue light, has been linked to improved mood and reduced symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). LED light therapy lamps designed to mimic natural sunlight can help regulate circadian rhythms and promote a sense of well-being.

  • Wound Healing: LED light therapy is known to accelerate wound healing by stimulating cellular activity and enhancing the formation of new blood vessels. This can be particularly beneficial after chemical peels, extractions and facial cupping during facials to help speed up the healing process. 

  • Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. LED light therapy, specifically red and near-infrared wavelengths, can penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production. This can result in smoother, plumper, and more youthful-looking skin.

Should you use LED light at home:

The short answer, absolutely! The long answer is it can be an expensive investment but if you have specific concerns and will use it regularly then it’s certainly worth considering! Here are my favorite at-home devices to fit various needs and budgets:

  • LightStim for Wrinkles - I personally love a handheld over a mask because you can use it on the back of your hands, neck. chest, knees, etc! This FDA-Approved device is the same brand that I use in the treatment room and features the latest LED light and Multi-Wave technology to help clarify, smooth and firm the skin. 

  • LightStim for Acne - LightStim for Acne helps calm and heal existing blemishes and reduces future breakouts by eliminating acne-causing bacteria. The non-invasive therapy uses UV-free blue and red lights that work together to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation without damaging or drying healthy skin. The light emits a gentle warmth in 3-minute treatments that may be used everywhere with zero recovery time. Regain healthy, radiant skin and banish blemishes to the past.

  • OmniLuxe Contour Face Mask -  This face-mask shaped red light therapy device is great for those who only need a facial option. It boasts clinically proven results for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.

If you’re looking for LED light facials in Columbia, SC, then you’re in the right place! LightStim LED is used in three of four Pêche Skin Co facials and can also be looked as a stand-alone service, which is especally great for targeting active acne, hyperpigmentation and aging.

Six Reasons to get a Mobile Spray Tan

Spray tans have become incredibly popular in recent years, and for good reason! A mobile spray tan with Pêche Skin Co., can give you a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun or tanning beds.

Spray tans have become incredibly popular in recent years, and for good reason! An in-studio or mobile spray spray tan with Pêche Skin Co., can give you a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun or tanning beds. 

Did you know that ANY level of tan or burn from the sun is considered skin damage?!  While many people get spray tans simply because they like the way they look, there are several  occasions where a spray tan may be particularly useful or desirable! Here are a few that I’ve spray tanned clients for lately: 

  1. Weddings, weddings and more weddings: Hello bridal glow! Mobile spray tans are an amazing treat from you and your bridesmaids when booked a few days before the big day (I recommend 48 hours prior to ceremony). Each of you will have a healthy, radiant glow that will look great in photos. PLUS, if you book the spray tan with a mobile tan artist you trust, then you can ensure none of your bridesmaids will have a spray tan gone wrong! 

  2. Beach vacations: If you're heading to the beach, a spray tan can help you look like you've already been soaking up the sun without the damage (or the heat exhaustion). Plus a tan can seriously give you a boost of confidence in any type of swimsuit or outfit! 

  3. Proms and other formal events: If you're attending a formal event like prom, a spray tan can help you look your best. A spray tan can make your skin look smoother and more even, giving you a flawless look.

  4. Photo shoots: Whether you're having engagement photos, headshots or just taking photos for fun, a spray tan can help enhance your natural features and give you a healthy glow.

  5. Girls weekend: Whether you’re headed to the beach or New Orleans, booking a mobile spray tan before a girls’ trip will have all your gal pals envious of your natural looking glow! 

  6. Boosting your self-esteem: Honestly, you don't need a special occasion to get a spray tan. If you're looking to give yourself a little boost, a spray tan can help you feel more confident and beautiful! 

Disclaimer: If you’ve never used a spray tanning or self tanning product before or have had issues with them in the past, be sure to request a patch test from Pêche to ensure your skin will react well to the solution!
