SUPERFICIAL PEELS - Glycolic
Post-treatment advice:
- cleansing the face gently with a soap-free cleanser, pat the skin dry with a towel, and
- moisturise twice a day;
- Do not pick off any dead or peeling skin as this may cause bleeding and discoloration, or even mild scarring;
- do not expose yourself to the sun without a sunscreen for at least 6 weeks after treatment to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation (brown blotches on the face) A high factor sunblock (factor 50) should be used daily to protect the skin;
- contact your practitioner immediately if you notice any signs of infection or pigment changes.
MEDIUM AND DEEP PEELS - TCA/Perfect Peel
After deeper peels, post-treatment advice:
- use mild painkillers, such as paracetamol, if required;
- gently splashing your face with warm water and patting dry with a towel. Mineral oil may also be recommended to help to cleanse the skin gently;
- if itching is severe during the healing phase, antihistamines can be taken to help stop this symptom.
- sleeping on your back with your head propped up by a few pillows to help reduce swelling in the face;
- avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of weeks to allow healing to happen without sudden jarring to the face;
- avoid scratching or picking at the skin to reduce the chances of scarring;
- Use Factor 50 sunscreen as supplied twice daily, and avoid any direct sun exposure for around 6 weeks;
