About this Treatment
Pulse Peels
The proprietary EVOLV Pulse Peel Program is a no-downtime and research-based skin treatment regimen that has been clinically proven to significantly reduce precancerous skin lesions and lower non-melanoma skin cancer risk while simultaneously improving skin health and reducing the signs of sun damage and aging.
The EVOLV Pulse Peel Program is comprehensive and involves a 3-step process of medically based skincare preparation, followed by once a week 15-minute pulse peels regimen, and then a maintenance program to achieve the maximal reduction in skin cancer risk and precancerous lesions while also optimizing skin health and youthfulness. The EVOLV Pulse Peel Program is fully customizable to each patient’s risk factors, skin type, and goals and is often eligible for insurance coverage.
What It Is
Prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight often results in premature aging and damage to the skin as well as pre-cancerous skin lesions referred to as actinic keratoses (AK’s) and high risk of squamous cell and basal cell skin cancers.
Although there are many medical and treatment options for treating pre-cancerous skin lesions, combining the FDA-approved anti-cancer topical medication 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with natural fruit acid skin exfoliating and peeling agents in a once-a-week treatment program has been clinically proven to significantly reduce pre-cancerous AK lesions and general sun damage and can be utilized over large areas such as the face, neck, scalp, and any risk areas of the body.
EVOLV’S unique Pulse Peel Program combines this clinically tested treatment option with a medical skincare-based preparation treatment as well as a post-peel regimen to maximize the cancer reduction benefits, optimize skin health, and reduce potential complications from treatment.
The Pulse Peel Program’s unique combination of skin preparation followed by the application of a chemical peeling agent with the 5-FU topical applications in a once-a-week program minimizes skin reaction and downtime while having equal or superior results to other skin cancer prevention treatment options.
