The first step in this treatment is to clean the skin and use a toner. The next step would be to degrease the skin by using a medical grade degreaser on the area of your skin you want to apply the peel.

Results

This treatment improves color, freshness, texture, skin tone, and fine wrinkles. It will also improve superficial discoloration, such as age spots and Melasma and will work great with acne prone skin.

After most peels, the skin will be pink to red, and look shiny and tight. It is vital to apply sunscreen of SFP 30 or greater to the skin and do not use any products that will irritate or exfoliate your skin like glycolic acid, retinol or clarisonic brush in the next 48 hours. You must also stay out of the sun, as your skin will be very sensitive to UV rays and could be damaged by sun exposure. The skin will begin to flake or peel within 2–3 days after the treatment, this is your skin purging toxins and is a normal effect. To maximize results you will need to use a medical grade skin care regimen.
