After your peel it is crucial to the health of your skin and the success of your peel that these guidelines be followed:
- It is imperative that you use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid direct sunlight for at least 1 week.
- Clients with hypersensitivity to the sun should take extra precautions to guard against exposure immediately following the procedure as they may be more sensitive following the peel.
- Your skin may be more red that usual for 2 to 5 days. Please avoid strenuous exercise during this time.
- Approximately 48hours after the treatment, your skin will start to peel. This peeling will generally last 2 to 5 days. DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN. Allow skin to peel at its own pace.
- When washing your face, do not scrub, do not use a wash cloth. Use a gentle cleanser that does not contain soap.
- After washing your face, apply a serum and face moisturiser recommended by your medical professional for 4 to 5 days and as often as you need to relieve any dryness.
- You may resume the regular use of any products or bleaching creams ONLY after the peeling process is complete.
- Wait until the peeling is completely subsides before having any other facial procedures, including:
- Facials
- Microdermabrasion
- Laser treatments
- Facial hair removal
- BOTOX injections
- Injectable fillers
