post medi-peel treatment advice
We are so excited that you have chosen to have one of our Synergie Skin Medi Peels. Chemical peels are treatments designed to reduce the appearance of irregularities on the skin’s surface and reveal a smooth, revitalized texture through regenerating and resurfacing the skin. They remove the top layers of the skin, help to stimulate collagen remodeling, reduce tonal discolouration, improve skin texture and hydration, reduce congestion and improve the overall appearance of the skin. In order to get the best results we have some pre and post treatment advice for you.
pre treatment advice
Prior to chemical peels, it is important to prepare your skin with active ingredients to maximise results and ensure a safe and effective treatment.
-
Commence using Synergie Skin essential vitamins (A, B, C) a minimum of 14 days prior to the treatment.
-
The use of daily solar protection is also vital in preparation for your peel treatment and will enhance the results you can expect to see on your skin.
-
Depending on your skin concerns your clinician may also advise the use of other specific products such as ReVeal for breakout/ acne and EnLighten for hyperpigmented skin.
-
We advise these products be used for a minimum of 14 days prior to treatment.
-
Discontinue prescription retinoids 5 days prior to treatment
-
Ensure you have disclosed all medical history and current medications to your treating practitioner.
POST TREATMENT ADVICE
Immediately following your treatment
• Apply De-Stress and Recover Balm to reduce irritation and severe dryness and shedding.
• Avoid heat or perspiration – inducing activities for 12 hours following the treatment.
• Avoid UV exposure, saunas, spas or chlorinated pools for 48 hours.
• Avoid using makeup for a minimum of 8 hours after having a chemical peel unless mineral protection is provided by your clinician.
• Limit stimulants (coffee, alcohol etc.) or avoid where possible.
• Avoid hot showers or friction to the face – such as hot water, abrasive towels etc.
​​
In the days following your treatment
• Maintain full chemical-free solar protection with ÜberZinc and/or Synergie Minerals foundation.
• Cleanse skin with a gentle cleanser such as BioCleanse or UltraCleanse and apply De-Stress or Recover Balm whilst skin is irritated or shedding, typically 1-5 days after the treatment depending on the peel solution used on your skin.
• The day following your treatment reintroduce Dermiotic, Vitamin B/XCell B/Priority B, and/or HyalaVive to support skin healing and barrier repair. Also, introduce EnLighten/VaNish if targeting hyperpigmentation.
• During the 3-5 days following your professional peel treatment, you can resume the use of products containing the active ingredients vitamin A, vitamin C, and hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA) as long as any inflammation has subsided.
• Resume normal skincare regimen (active products) only when all signs of inflammation have totally subsided. This is typically 3-5 days post treatment.
• Peeling and flaking may occur at 3-5 days.
• Do not pick, scratch or abrade peeling or flaking skin in the treated area. This will impact your result.
• Avoid facial waxing and/or shaving for 7 days.
