Medical Peel - Pre Care Information
Do’s & Don’ts when preparing for your Medical Peel.
You must prepare your skin at home using the correct medical grade skincare.
As a general rule of thumb, using the below products for at least 2 weeks before your medical peel is advised/recommended to ensure we minimise any side effects that can occur from a peel, such as Hyperpigmentation / Irritation / Sensitivity.
MORNING:
-Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse
-Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides
-Medik8 Daily Radiance Vitamin C
EVENING:
-Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse
-Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides
-Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3
-Medik8 Advanced Night Restore
Avoid extensive sun exposure / the use of tanning beds at least 2 weeks prior to a medical grade peel.
(We obviously advise that you stop using tanning beds altogether because they increase your risk of skin cancer and accelerate visible signs of aging)
Avoid using aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories at least 1 week prior to a medical grade peel.
Likewise, avoid Hair Removal at least 1 week prior to a medical grade peel.
(Whether that be Waxing, Laser or Cream – Shaving is okay if done gently ensuring no nicks).
In addition, please make sure you are not wearing makeup on the day of your treatment.
