PRE PROCEDURE ADVICE:

PRO POWER PEEL

Pre-procedure guidelines are important to follow to ensure you get the best results from your service.

  • Avoid Accutane for 6 months prior to beginning your treatment sessions. Check with your prescribing physician.

  • Do not use topical agents that may increase skin sensitivity, such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics, or hydroxy acids 24-48 hours before your treatment.

  • Avoid IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least 2 weeks prior to your procedure.

  • No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 72 days prior.

  • Do not shave the day of the procedure to avoid skin irritation.

  • Do not experiment with new products before the treatment

PATCH TEST

During your consultation, we may take additional precautions and require a patch test. This must be completed at least 24 hours before our Pro Power Peel treatments to assess for an allergic response and your skin’s tolerance to highly active ingredients.

POST PROCEDURE ADVICE:

PRO POWER PEEL

Aftercare is critical for achieving your healthiest-looking skin. So we want to make sure you know exactly what to do.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A PRO POWER PEEL TREATMENT

Your skin may appear flushed following the treatment, and may be more sensitive depending on your skin condition and at-home care regimen.

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.

DAY 1

  • Skin may appear flushed and feel sensitive following the treatment.

DAY 2-3

  • Cell renewal rapidly increases with the chance of light flaking. Possible darkening of pigment.

POST PROCEDURE ADVICE:

DAY 5-7

  • As skin cells regenerate, the surface of the skin may feel rough and uneven.

RECOMMENDATIONS

We advise all clients to consider the following guidelines for at least 10 days post-treatment:

  • Apply a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen (minimum SPF 30) daily and avoid direct sun exposure for 2-3 weeks to prevent hyperpigmentation.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise on the day of treatment, along with prolonged exposure to heat sources like dry saunas or steam rooms; these activities increase blood circulation to the face, which can lead to discomfort, redness, swelling, or other side effects.

  • You will likely begin peeling within 2-3 days. This is normal.

  • Do not pick at loose skin, as this may cause discolouration.

  • Increase fluid intake for the next 2-3 days.

  • Avoid any exfoliating products until directed otherwise.

  • Continue using the Post-Procedure Kit for the duration of the peeling process. Once peeling and redness have subsided, you may resume your regular Dermalogica daily routine.

  • On the night of your treatment, rinse your face with cool water and cleanse with UltraCalming Cleanser.

  • Depending on the type of pro power peel performed and the level of inflammation, we recommend using the Post-Procedure Kit.

  • Power Clear Peel Clinical Trials

  • Advanced Renewal Peel Clinical Trials

  • Ultra Bright Peel Clinical Trials
