DURING THE TREATMENT

During a chemical peel, solution is applied to your skin. You may feel a warm to somewhat hot sensation that will last a few minutes. This is followed by a stinging sensation. To relieve the sting, a cool compress may be applied your skin. The chemical is then washed off and/or neutralized.
In principle, every client, regardless of age or skin type, can undergo this type of treatment.

CONTRAINDICATION

  • skin allergies
  • irritated, damaged skin (erosions excoriations, abrasions),
  • tendency to develop keloids
  • facial surgery up to 3 months
  • active herpes simplex
  • pregnancy, breastfeeding
  • autoimmune diseases (collagenosis, pemphigus)
  • the procedure can be performed 6 months after the end of oral therapy with vitamin A (Roaccutane, Izotec, Curracne)

BEFORE-PROCEDURE RECOMMENDATIONS

Before performing a chemical peeling, you should follow the recommendations below:
  • for at least 30 days before the planned treatment, you should not sunbathe or expose your skin to the sun, use self-tanning products or use a sunbed
  • 7 days before the procedure, do not wax
  • 5 days before the procedure, do not use creams and lotions with chemical acids or retinoids

POST-PROCEDURE RECOMMENDATIONS

  • After the treatment, wash face with cool water. Do not wax the skin or use acidic cosmetics in the treated area
  • Moisturize and hydrate. Since peels can temporarily compromise your skin’s protective barrier, it’s important to reinforce that barrier with a medium-to-thick moisturiser
  • Drink more water to help avoid dehydration, which could make your skin feel tight
  • Avoid excessive exercise and sweating for 24–48 hours
  • Do not wear makeup for 24-48hrs
  • Do not sunbathe for 4-6 weeks
  • Apply sunscreen with SPF30 or more
  • Do not touch the treated areas
