Who it's for
Suitable for clients wanting to address pigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, dullness, congestion or acne and post-acne marks. Strength and formulation are matched to your skin at consultation, including options for sensitive and menopausal skin.
Expected results
Brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin with refined texture and a healthy glow. A course delivers progressive improvement in pigmentation, fine lines, congestion and overall clarity.
Pre-care and after-care
Pre-care advice
Stop retinoids and strong actives 5–7 days before, and avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, waxing and other facial treatments beforehand. A patch test and full consultation are carried out prior to your first peel. Advise Clare of any medication such as Roaccutane.
After-care advice
Avoid makeup, active skincare, heat, saunas, swimming and sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Do not pick or peel flaking skin. Keep skin hydrated and apply a broad-spectrum SPF every day to protect the new skin and maintain results.
Minimal downtime — some redness on the day and light flaking over the following 2–5 days depending on peel strength. Most clients continue as normal with diligent SPF.
Safety, risks and contraindications
Contraindications
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, on active cold sores, infections, eczema, sunburn or broken skin, or while using Roaccutane. Recent sun exposure, certain medications and some skin conditions may require postponement. All assessed at consultation.
Side effects and risks
Temporary redness, tightness, mild tingling and light flaking or shedding are normal in the days after a peel as the skin renews. Rarely, temporary sensitivity or darkening can occur if aftercare and SPF are not followed.
