AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- You must keep your face DRY for 7 days post peel. This includes not washing your face and avoiding places such as the gym & sauna. Moisture will interfere with the peeling process!
•Do NOT pick at skin that is in the peeling phase as this can damage the skin and
cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
•You must be PATIENT with your skin and CONSISTENT with the treatment. It can take between 3-6 sessions to see full results.
•Only carry out this peel ONCE every 4 weeks.
•Everybody’s skin peels at DIFFERENT rates. Peeling is just a side effect and should NOT be used as a measure of success of the treatment.
•Peeling can begin anywhere from day 2-4 post peel. We do not include the day
