Straightforward, easy to use and effective medically supervised skin care is the hallmark of the Biophora system. Biophora is formulated on the principle that technically advanced doesn't have to be a regimen of expensive and complex steps to attain healthy, toned, and more youthful looking skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. It withstands tremendous exposure to elemental factors: sun, wind, and extreme temperatures, as well as the effects of internal and topical nutrient and moisture deficiency. Biophora is designed to correct as well as defend the skin from the impact of these factors. This unique system aggressively exfoliates while replacing essential nutrients. Biophora works most effectively in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper sleep, nutrition, the intake of sufficient levels of high quality water, exercise, supplementation, stress management, avoidance of smoking and moderation of alcohol.

The Biophora system has been created in collaboration with cosmetic plastic surgeons, antiaging specialists and naturopathic doctors to produce a state-of-the-art product line and protocols, designed to make skin science and maintenance simple for the patient.

Clinically advanced and natural ingredients that challenge and promote cell renewal are specifically formulated for Element Exposed/Normal, Acne/Oily, Sensitive/Dry and Combination skin types. A personalized consultation with our highly trained Biophora technicians will determine the exact protocol that will ensure the safe and effective results you require.

The Biophora system consists of a two-part program:

1. Homecare products;
2. Clinical treatments in office performed by a Biophora technician or a physician.

Daily use of the Biophora products will improve the texture, evenness of skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines as well as calm or arrest most acne conditions. Clinical treatments or Biophora Glycolic, Lactic, or Salicylic Peels performed in office will greatly accelerate your results, as well as enhance your daily skin treatment protocol.

The accumulation of dead skin cells on the most topical layer of the skin contributes to a dull appearance, uneven texture, bacteria formation, and in turn, most acne conditions. Biophora Peels, consisting of cosmeceutical and physical exfoliation, will allow for a more vibrant, refined texture and improved clarity of the skin. These procedures activate cell renewal and prepare the skin to absorb products which encourage the body's own collagen production. These peels also prepare the skin to receive Biophora’s active ingredients, nutrients and anti-oxidants, essential in the nourishment and healing of the skin.

The Biophora Glycolic Peel is a 20-30 minute cosmeceutical and physical exfoliation of dead skin cells that form on the surface layer of the skin. This peel deeply cleans the skin and leaves it smooth in texture. It is available in 15% to 30% concentrations. It may be used on Element Exposed/Normal or Acne/Oily skin. The Biophora Glycolic Peel is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. Biophora SPF must be used and makeup may be applied following the peel.

The Biophora Lactic Peel is a 20-30 minute cosmeceutical and physical exfoliation of dead skin cells that form on the surface layer of the skin. This peel is specifically designed for Sensitive/Dry skin, but it is effective for Element Exposed skin as well. The Biophora Lactic Peel is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. Biophora SPF must be used and makeup may be applied following the peel.

The Biophora Salicylic Peel is a highly effective 20 minute peel and the most aggressive of the Biophora Peels targeted to exfoliate the superficial layer of dead skin cells. Available in 20% or 30% solutions, it is excellent for Acne/Oily skin types but can be used with very positive results on all skin categories. The Biophora Salicylic Peel is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. Biophora SPF must be used and makeup may be applied following the peel.
