The 'Peel & Heal' Power Peels must be performed
by either a doctor or a trained skin care professional. A series of peels may
be necessary to achieve an optimal end result to a particular problem. It is
better and more favourable long-term to start off conservatively with the
peels, each procedure time may be increased dependent on patient/client reaction
and tolerance. With a problem such as pigmentation it would be ideal to
commence with either a weekly regime if tolerated very well, or a fortnightly
peel if one does experience peeling. One can then progress to either monthly or
six weekly as desired or required.
Dependent on the condition of the skin, on
application one usually experiences a slight stinging/tingling sensation which
occurs mainly during the first five minutes following application, but mostly
one feels itchiness. It is generally well tolerated and one may massage around
with the pads of fingers to relieve any itchiness until this settles down. If
the skin is dry or dehydrated prior to the peel then the stinging on
application may be more intense. The peel will be left on for a period of time
at the discretion of the skin care professional this depending on skin
condition, problem and tolerance. It must be thoroughly neutralized using
RégimA Cleansing Gel and the first cleanse does sting briefly. This quickly
settles down and the appropriate RégimA post peel products will be applied to
the area.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is very well tolerated by most people, even the
very young skins [as young as 11 years old]. May sting more initially if the
skin is dry and out of condition. Known to sting when applied pre-menstrually.
During certain times of year it may sting slightly more - in extremes of cold
and hot weather.
