Pre-Treatment Requirements:
DO
- Prime the skin with Vitamin C & Vitamin A for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment. Research has shown the use of Vitamin C & Vitamin A prior to and throughout the treatment will maximise the results of this skin rejuvenation procedure. The treatment will be more effective, your healing time will be reduced, and the risk of post peel complications will be lessened.
- Ensure you are applying a Broad-Spectrum SPF daily
- Consult your doctor for an antiviral if you are prone to cold sores
DO NOT
- Bleach, wax, scrub 1 week before the peel
- Apply retinoid (Vitamin A) 3 days before the peel
- Have sun exposure to the area being treated
Post-Treatment Requirements:
For the first 72 hours following the treatment
(After the 72 hours you can then go back to your normal skin routine, but listen to your skin)
DO
- Treat the skin gently (stop using wash cloths and facial sponges as to not exfoliate the skin)
- Wear minimal makeup if required to wear it, mineral makeup is recommended. Check out our Young Blood range which is safe.
- Use the recommended post treatment products only – Gentle cleanser, Hydr8 B5 serum (as many times as required throughout the day), Ultimate Recovery Intense Moisturiser (as many times as required throughout the day) & Physical Sunscreen.
- Ensure you thoroughly sanitise all makeup brushes / sponges and change your pillowcase, so you are not at risk of infection and/or breakout.
