Green Peel in Izmir

Green Peel Application in Izmir

In the world of dermatology and medical aesthetics, biological methods inspired by the power of nature hold an important place alongside technological devices and chemical agents. Our skin is a dynamic organ that renews itself approximately every 28 days. However, age, environmental factors, sun damage, and hormonal changes slow down this cycle. “Green Peel,” which aims to accelerate the skin’s natural renewal process with completely herbal ingredients that do not contain chemical acids, is a well-established method that has been applied worldwide for over 60 years. As Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic, we apply this special protocol developed by Dr. Christine Schrammek to offer a holistic and biologically compatible approach to your skin. In this comprehensive guide, we will examine all the details of Green Peel, from its working mechanism to its types, application processes, and home care, in light of scientific data.

What is Green Peel? Natural Herbal Peeling Method

Green Peel is a biological skin peeling and renewal method that does not contain any synthetic acids (AHA, BHA, TCA, etc.) or chemical abrasives. It consists entirely of a mixture of selected plants, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins. This method aims to stimulate the upper layer of the skin (epidermis) in a controlled manner, bringing the underlying fresh tissue to the surface and accelerating the skin’s metabolism.

The formulation is based on naturally derived components such as horsetail, pansy, valerian, aloe vera, spirulina, and various minerals. The powder mixture, obtained by drying these plants and turning them into microparticles, is activated with a special lotion and applied to the skin. Green Peel respects the skin’s natural structure and works on the principle of “triggering the skin’s self-renewal” rather than “peeling the skin.”

The Skin Renewal Mechanism of Green Peel

The success of the Green Peel application is based on a combination of mechanical stimulation and biochemical reactions. The process works as follows:

Micro-Massage Effect: When the herbal mixture is applied to the skin with special massage techniques, the plant particles gently penetrate the upper layers of the skin. This creates a controlled micro-trauma effect on the skin, triggering the healing mechanism.
Increased Circulation: Blood circulation (microcirculation) in the application area increases significantly. This increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to the cells.
Metabolic Activation: Skin metabolism accelerates, and cell division (mitosis) in the basal layer increases. Normally, the cell renewal cycle, which takes 28 days, can be shortened to 5 days with the Classic application.
Enzymatic Effect: The natural enzymes in the plants loosen the bonds between dead cells, facilitating exfoliation of the skin’s surface.

Green Peel Types: Fresh Up, Energy, Classic

Every skin has different needs, and every patient has different expectations for their social life. To meet these needs, Green Peel is divided into three different protocols:

1. Green Peel Classic (Skin Renewal)

This is the strongest and most effective version. It is known for its slogan “New skin in 5 days”. It is preferred for serious skin problems (deep scars, sagging skin, enlarged pores). After the application, a noticeable peeling occurs on the skin on the 3rd and 4th days. During this process, water should not be applied to the skin, and special home care products should be used. On the 5th day, a final treatment called “Beauty Finish” is performed in the clinic.

2. Green Peel Energy (Vital and Energizing)

This is a medium-level treatment. The peeling is very mild or in the form of flaking (not visible to the eye). It is applied to increase the skin’s energy, fight the first signs of aging, and eliminate dullness. It accelerates blood circulation and supports the skin’s renewal process. It does not require interrupting social life.

3. Green Peel Fresh Up (Freshness and Radiance)

This is the mildest version (also known as “Party Peel”). It does not peel. It instantly gives the skin radiance and freshness. Ideal before an important event or to relieve skin fatigue. It stimulates blood circulation and opens pores, allowing the skin to breathe.

Which Skin Types Is It Suitable For?

Green Peel has a wide range of indications and can be safely applied to many skin types:

Oily, acne-prone, and comedone-prone (blackhead) skin.
Skin with large pores and rough texture.
Sun-damaged, blemished (hyperpigmentation), and uneven skin tone.
Skin that has lost its elasticity, is prone to sagging, and has wrinkles.
Skin with scars, acne scars, and stretch marks (stria).
Dull, pale, and poorly circulated skin.

Green Peel Application Steps and Session Process

At Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic, Green Peel application is performed by our certified specialists as follows:The process is carried out in steps:

1. Analysis and Preparation: Skin type is determined and the appropriate Green Peel protocol (Classic, Energy, or Fresh Up) is selected. The skin is cleansed and toned.

2. Preparation of the Mixture: The herbal powder mixture is activated by mixing it with the special concentrated lotion.

3. Application and Massage: The mixture is spread on the skin and massaged with special circular movements for a time determined according to skin tolerance (between 2 and 10 minutes). The patient may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation during this stage (this is normal and indicates that the herbs are working).

4. Compress and Waiting: After the massage, a special wet compress is applied to the skin to enhance the effect of the herbs.

5. Cleansing and Protection: The skin is gently cleansed (no water is used in Classic) and a serum/cream/sunscreen is applied according to the protocol.

Reducing Skin Blemishes with Green Peel

In treating blemishes (sun spots, melasma, age spots), Green Peel works by accelerating the removal of pigmented cells (melanin-laden keratinocytes) in the upper layer of the skin. The peeling, especially with the Classic application, helps to significantly reduce the appearance of blemishes. Furthermore, the acceleration of metabolism by the herbal ingredients ensures that the new skin underneath is clearer and has a more even tone.

Effects on Acne and Acne Scars

Green Peel is a method that can yield very successful results in active acne and acne scars.

Active Acne: The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of the herbal mixture fight the bacteria that cause acne. It also regulates keratinization (skin thickening), preventing pore clogging.

Acne Scars: The deep peeling effect (Classic) and increased blood circulation allow for the restructuring of the tissue under the scars. The depth of the pits is reduced and the skin surface becomes smoother.

Renewal Process After Green Peel

The process after Green Peel Classic varies day by day:

Day 1: There is redness and slight sensitivity (sunburn sensation) on the skin.

Day 2: Redness decreases, skin tone may darken slightly.

Day 3: Skin tightens and the first peeling may be visible.

Day 4: Peeling is at its most pronounced level. Fresh skin begins to appear underneath.

Day 5: Peeling is largely complete. The patient comes to the clinic, the remaining dead skin is removed, and intensive vitamin/moisture supplementation (Beauty Finish) is applied to the skin. The skin is now radiant and renewed.

How to Do Home Care After Green Peel?

50% of the success of the Green Peel Classic treatment depends on the clinical application, and 50% depends on proper home care.

Water Ban (Classic Only): Water should not come into contact with the skin for 5 days after the application. Water can prematurely stop the peeling process.
Special Products: The “Herbal Care Lotion” (cleansing), “Blemish Balm” (concealer and soothing), and “Special Care Cream” given to the patient should be mixed and applied as often as indicated.
Makeup: Foundation or powder should not be used during the healing process; Only Blemish Balm can be used.

Effects of Green Peel on Wrinkles and Fine Lines

With skin aging, the cell cycle slows down and the dermis thins. Green Peel stimulates fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin synthesis. Thanks to increased blood circulation, tissues are better nourished. The skin tightens (lifting effect), fine lines are reduced, and the appearance of deep wrinkles is lessened. Energy and Classic protocols, in particular, can be applied as anti-aging treatments.

Green Peel Protocols Strengthening the Skin Barrier

Contrary to popular belief, correctly applied peeling treatments do not thin the skin; on the contrary, they stimulate the basal layer, thickening the skin and strengthening its barrier function. Green Peel activates the skin’s defense mechanism. It is possible to increase the skin’s resistance, especially in sensitive skin with weakened barriers (after proper analysis, with Fresh Up or Energy).

Skin Rejuvenation with Natural Ingredients: Advantages of Green Peel

The biggest advantage of Green Peel is its “naturalness”. The risk of burns or permanent discoloration that chemical acids can cause is much lower with herbal peels. Its applicability up to the eye area (excluding the eyelid) makes it safer than chemical peels. Also, its suitability for use in all seasons (for Energy and Fresh Up) is a significant plus.

Who Should Not Use Green Peel? Contraindications

Although natural, Green Peel may be contraindicated in some cases:

Those with very thin and extremely sensitive skin.
Those with known allergies to the plants it contains.
Those with active skin infections (herpes, eczema, open wounds)Those who are )
Those undergoing Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) treatment (Can be done 6 months after the end of treatment).
Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding (Mild forms may be considered with physician evaluation, but are generally not recommended).

Anti-Aging Effect of Green Peel

Green Peel serves both “Pre-aging” (pre-aging protection) and “Anti-aging” (anti-aging treatment) concepts. By accelerating cell metabolism, it helps reverse the skin’s biological age. Regular applications are an important support in preventing loss of skin elasticity.

Use of Green Peel During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Skin reactions may be unpredictable during pregnancy and breastfeeding because hormonal balances change. In addition, intense increase in circulation (especially in Classic application) can create systemic effects. Therefore, as a precaution, Green Peel Classic application is generally not recommended during these periods. Milder forms (Fresh Up) can be evaluated with doctor’s approval.

Pore Tightening with Green Peel

Large pores are caused by excess oil production and loss of elasticity. Green Peel both balances oil secretion and tightens the tissue around the pores. By removing the dead layer on the skin’s surface, pores are cleansed and physically reduced. The skin acquires a smoother and more refined appearance.

Things to Consider Before Green Peel Treatment

Acidic products (retinol, AHA/BHA) that can irritate the skin should be discontinued 1 week before the treatment.
Male patients should not shave immediately before the treatment (at least 1 day before is recommended).
An active herpes outbreak should be treated.

A Brighter and More Vibrant Skin with Green Peel

Increased blood circulation instantly gives the skin a “glow.” The gray and dull appearance of the skin is replaced by a pink and vibrant tone. The Fresh Up treatment, in particular, is the fastest way to achieve this radiance and makes makeup look much better on the skin.

Managing Redness and Sensitivity After Green Peel

A stinging sensation and redness on the skin after the treatment are expected due to the nature of the procedure. This indicates that the plant particles are working under the skin. This sensitivity usually subsides within 24-48 hours. During this process, avoiding scratching or rubbing the skin and regularly using the provided soothing products will increase comfort.

Green Peel and Professional Skin Care Combinations

Green Peel can be combined with classic skin care. For example, a deep cleansing (hydrafacial, etc.) can be done first, and then the treatment can be completed with Fresh Up according to the skin’s needs. However, it should not be done on the same day as aggressive procedures such as laser or dermapen; a certain amount of time should be left between them.

When Will Green Peel Effects Be Seen?

In Fresh Up and Energy applications, the effect is seen immediately after the treatment (vitality and radiance). In the Classic application, the main result is seen after the treatment done on the 5th day, when the peeling is complete and new skin emerges. Full tissue renewal and collagen increase continue in the following weeks.

Green Peel’s Skin Tone Equalizing Effect

It eliminates color variations in the skin by regulating melanin distribution. It is an effective method for achieving a homogeneous appearance, especially in cases of sun damage and tone differences that occur after summer.

Green Peel Prices and Treatment Planning

Green Peel prices vary depending on the chosen protocol (Classic, Energy, Fresh Up) and the number of sessions. The Classic application is offered as a package including post-treatment care and home products for 5 days. Due to regulations from the Ministry of Health, it is not appropriate to share price information on the website. For a personalized treatment plan and pricing, it is recommended that you have a skin analysis done by contacting Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic.

Green Peel and Environmental Factors in Izmir

Izmir’s sunny climate makes sun protection even more important after peeling procedures. Green Peel Classic treatment should be carefully planned during the summer months when the sun is most intense, or the patient must be guaranteed complete sun protection.Fresh Up and Energy, however, can be safely applied in summer with a good sunscreen (SPF 50+). At Özel Demiderm Polyclinic, we plan the most appropriate timing with you, taking into account seasonal conditions and your lifestyle.
