Pro Power Peel
For best results with the Pro Power Peel, a series of 3 to 6 treatments will be prescribed depending on concern. Multiple series may be performed to achieve the desired results. Peel treatments are best in the spring, fall and winter, as this will minimize exposure to sun and decrease risk of photosensitivity. If spending a significant amount of time in the sun it is recommended that treatment be delayed.
Noticeable results are experienced by most clients after 3 treatments. Depending on skincare concern, skin renewal rate and frequency of peels it may take up to 6 treatments to see results. Clients can expect to see a reduction in breakouts, fine lines, improved skin tone and texture after the coarse of the peel. Please note that it is not uncommon to experience an initial breakout and darkening of hyper pigmentation before it subsides and gives way to clearer skin tone.
Side effects include, but are not limited to, dryness, stinging, itching, irritation, redness, swelling, tightness, peeling and scabbing. By the second day, skin may peel or look darker. On the third day, peeling may begin around the nose and mouth, followed by the cheeks, forehead, jawline and neck.
