Professional Peel Leaflet

Professional peels: all you need to know + Superficial peels Your skin is cleansed and the active cleanser left on for a few minutes. The peel is applied and you may feel a tingling sensation while it is on your skin. The peel is neutralized with water and a moisturizing cream is then applied. Some redness may appear but will quickly fade. It is recommended to have 4 peel sessions at 2 week intervals to achieve optimal results. + Medium peels The technique used for a medium peel is similar to that of a superficial peel, but the peel may be left on for a longer period of time or more layers may be applied to the skin. You may feel a mild to intense heating sensation while the peel is on your skin. It is recommended to have at least 2 medium peels to achieve visible and long-lasting results. Depending on the protocol followed, an interval of 2 and up to 8 weeks will be required in between the in-clinic sessions. IN-CLINIC PROTOCOL + Superficial peels The redness will disappear a few minutes after the peel, thanks to the application of a post- treatment moisturizer. Moisturize and apply sun protection as often as necessary over the next 2 to 3 days. Your skin may feel tight but smooth and some desquamation may occur. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after the peel. + Medium peels During the first few days after the peel, there may be some swelling, especially if the area around the eyes is treated. The skin will then flake off gradually and be replaced by new, fresh skin. It will take 4 to 5 days for the skin to restore itself completely, during which time it should be kept hydrated by moisturizing. It is essential to protect your skin with a high protection sunscreen during the whole treatment period and for at least one month after the peel. AFTER THE PEEL
