Who it's for
Anyone wanting to improve pigmentation, fine lines, congestion, acne or dull, uneven skin. Suitable for most skin types and tones following a consultation and, where needed, skin preparation.
Expected results
Skin looks brighter and more even, with gradual improvement in texture, pigmentation and breakouts over a course of peels. Some peeling or flaking in the days after is part of the process.
Pre-care and after-care
Pre-care advice
Avoid retinoids, acids, waxing and sun exposure for several days beforehand. Follow any pre-peel skin preparation Sam recommends, and tell her about medication or recent treatments.
After-care advice
Do not pick or peel flaking skin. Avoid heat, exercise, make-up and active ingredients for 24 to 48 hours, keep skin hydrated, and use SPF daily to protect the new skin.
Expect some flaking and sensitivity for a few days depending on the strength of the peel; most people continue as normal with SPF.
Safety, risks and contraindications
Contraindications
Peels may not be suitable during pregnancy, over active cold sores or infections, with certain medications such as roaccutane, or on very sensitive conditions. A consultation confirms suitability.
Side effects and risks
Redness, tightness, and flaking or light peeling for a few days are normal. Following aftercare reduces the risk of irritation or pigmentation.
