When chemical irritants, such as highly concentrated salicylic or alpha hydroxy acid, come into contact with the skin, nerve fibers of nocireceptor type C are activated. This results in neurogenic inflammation. Blood vessels dilate, and redness or even fluid accumulation may result. As the nerve impulse propagates to the brain, it is not uncommon for a stinging and burning sensation to occur, which may be accompanied by itching. Mast cells are activated, which release histamine. This is the normal reaction of the skin in conventional treatments with fruit acid.
With NOON Aesthetics’ patented DermShield technology, it’s different. When we apply the products to your skin, the nocireceptor type C becomes significantly less active. The nerve impulse to the brain is briefly blocked. As a result, neurogenic inflammation and other side effects, such as stinging, burning and itching, are significantly reduced or even eliminated.
