The Perfect Derma Peel Procedure
The client's skin will be cleansed and prepped. Procedures take about 30 minutes to perform. Some clients may feel a mild tingling or spicy sensation during the application, but it's typically well-tolerated.You will leave the clinic with just the peel on the face.
Noticeable results can take several weeks to months to fully develop, as the skin remodels and new collagen forms. We recommend a series of six, along with the correct home care to see best results. Frequency of treatments is every 5 weeks, no sooner.
Potential Risks of The Perfect Derma Peel
The Perfect Derma Peel is generally well-tolerated, but some temporary side effects may occur. Common reactions include redness, dryness, and a mild tingling sensation during the treatment. Peeling and flaking of the skin are normal as it exfoliates, usually lasting about 5-7 days. In rare cases, individuals may experience temporary hyperpigmentation or irritation, particularly if aftercare instructions aren't followed. Proper sun protection and gentle skincare are essential to support healing and minimize any risks.
Recovery of The Perfect Derma Peel
Days 1 – 2: The treated area will feel tight and may appear slightly darker.
The day of the peel application is “Day 1.” The peel solution should remain on the treated areas for at least 6hours. During the first 6 hours, do not wash, touch, rub, or apply make-up to the treated area. The Post Peel Moisturizer with 1% Hydrocortisone (included in Patient Take Home Kit) may be used after 6 hours if:
- The skin feels excessively irritated
- Patient is Fitzpatrick Type 4-6 or has melasma or hyperpigmentation
- Either Perfect Derma booster was added to the peel treatment
If you are not experiencing any irritation or discomfort, the peel solution can remain on until your evening cleansing or it may be left on overnight.
Day 2 (AM):
Gently wash and dry the treated area. Vigorously apply the 1st Post-Peel Towelette to the treated areas. Let dry thoroughly. Towelette solution should be left on for 30 minutes before applying Mineral Perfection SPF 30. Make up may be applied if desired.
Day 2 (PM):
30-60 minutes before bedtime, gently wash and dry the treated area. Vigorously apply the 2nd Post-Peel Towelette to the treated areas. Leave the solution on overnight. If you are experiencing excessive irritation or discomfort, apply a small amount of The Post Peel Moisturizer 2-3 times daily. You may also apply a cold compress against the irritated area for relief. If there is no significant irritation, do not use any moisturizing products on the treated areas until peeling begins (usually Day 3). Avoid excessive sweating, sauna or heavy exercise during peel process.
Days 3-6: Peeling generally begins on Day 3.
After peeling begins, apply The Post Peel Moisturizer (included in the Patient Take Home Kit) to the treated areas 2-3 times a day to control the peeling and relieve the tightness. This moisturizer should be used for 1-2 weeks for Caucasian patients and 2-3 weeks for Asian, Hispanic and African American patients. If The Post Peel Moisturizer runs out, a 1% Hydrocortisone cream may be substituted. Do not rub, pick or pull on the peeling skin, let thepeeling occur naturally. Rubbing, picking or pulling may cause scarring. Gently wash (do not scrub) and dry the treated area morning and night, and apply The Post Peel Moisturizer as needed. Mineral Perfection SPF 30 should be applied every 2 hours during sun exposure.
Days 7 and After: The peeling process is generally complete.
Mild sloughing may still be occurring in some treated areas. Continue to protect the skin with Mineral Perfection SPF 30.
