Over 60 years ago in Germany, aesthetician Christine Schrammek was already carrying out the first skin peels with herbal extracts, to alleviate a variety of skin problems which had arisen post 2nd world war; the young cosmetologist was convinced of the natural healing power of herbs.
Her love of plants and their healing benefits was awakened by her parents, who possessed a wide and traditional knowledge of various herbs, their properties, and applications.
In 1958, Christine Schrammek carried out her GREEN PEEL for the first time at the medical academy in Hindenburg in collaboration with the scientific director and Dermatologist Professor Horazak.
The GREEN PEEL methods are unique in that a combination of 8 carefully selected herbs are massaged into the skin; each herb has a benefit which treats the skin in a unique way. Because the body views the herbs as foreign and wants to expel them, blood circulation is stimulated, oxygen pushed into the cells and the skin’s metabolism is activated, speeding up the cell renewal process.
The cell renewal process in a normal skin is typically 28 days, however dependant on age and the Green Peel treatment method selected, the peel can speed this process up to as little as 5 days: hence a new skin in 5 days!
Green Peel leaves the skin at optimal health, refreshed and pure. This unique method of skin peeling has over time become internationally acclaimed, effectively treating concerns from pigmentation, acne, scarring.
In 1967, the specialist in herbs launched yet another pioneering product: the original Blemish Balm; an anti-inflammatory concealer for use during the healing process. This superior treatment supports the skin’s regeneration process and at the same time conceals the blemished complexion. The Blemish Balm Christine Schrammek formulated, with its double effect is the model all BB creams are based on today.
In 1988 when Christine’s daughter, Dermatologist, and allergy specialist Dr. Med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio, took over management of the family business the herbal peeling treatment became scientifically substantiated and the treatment spectrum of the GREEN PEEL® expanded into 3 medical methods: Fresh Up, Energy as well as the globally renowned Classic.
Fresh Up is a light controlled exfoliating treatment that offers a healthy glow, Energy is a treatment in which the esthetician applies more pressure and massages the herbs into the skin for a longer period; this medium depth treatment that will cause visible peeling on the skin and finally Classic; a deep peel where the herbs are massaged at intensity and for up to 8 minutes to produce the maximum peeling and optimal results.
Additionally, this unique connection between dermatology and cosmetology led to the development of more efficient, professional treatments and a skin care series based on dermatological principles, the derma. cosmetics skin care line.
Derma.cosmetics is a mainly botanical, comprehensive line that works synergistically to treat all skin concerns. Therefore, the ethos of the brand; the skin has many faces.
