Boost Your Perfect Derma Peel

Boosters can be added to maximize the results of your peel.

The plus booster is great for clients with oily, thick or resilient skin and effectively treats hyperpigmentation, sun damage, mild acne scars and more.*

The Clear Acne Booster is great for clients with moderate to severe acne or acne scarring on the face.*

The plus plus booster includes 4% Hydroquinone and is going to be best for clients that have worked their way up with a series of peels, have resilient skin and have stubborn pigmentation.*

With boosters clients may experience additional peeling, irritation and redness. Clients may also peel twice with boosters and peeling can last up to 12 days depending on which booster was used.

Peeling although not guaranteed can last up to 10-12 days on the face and neck.

The treated area will feel tight and can appear slightly darker.

During the first 6 hours, do not wash, touch, rub or apply makeup to the treated area.

 

1. Talk to your provider about your home skin care routine when booking your appointment.

Let the practitioner know if you are using any retinoids or tretinoin products.  If so, you’ll want to discontinue them one week before your peel to avoid excess irritation. You’ll also want to avoid other cosmetic procedures in the weeks before your peel, so let your provider know if you are planning anything stronger than a facial.

2. Protect yourself against a cold sore outbreak. 

Prone to cold sores?  They’re very common and affect 80% of the population. Chemical procedures can trigger an outbreak, which is the last thing you want to deal with when your skin is peeling!  Be sure and ask your dr. for an antiviral to be taken several days before your peel in order to avoid getting a cold sore while your skin is already sensitive and may be irritated.

3. Take a break from your Work Out.

Peels cause a controlled, minor injury to the skin to stimulate the growth of healthy new skin cells.  For this reason, it’s ideal to avoid sweating or heating your skin, as the peel application caused temporary inflammation and you don’t want to make it worse.  You can safely practice gentle yoga (no hot yoga!), stretch or take a walk, etc. as long as you don’t break a sweat.

Skip the swimming pool, hot tub and saunas until your skin is completely healed.

4. Show up to your appointment with a clean face and a hat or visor.

If possible, wear minimal or no make up to your appointment, especially if you plan to peel the skin around the eyes. It’s not absolutely essential, but it will make your prep go quicker and easier.  Makeup and other products affect the way the peel penetrates and even though your aesthetician will clean and prep your skin, it’s helpful to come with a bare face.

Since you will not apply any products after the peel application (not even SPF), it’s a good idea to wear a hat or visor on your drive home or back to the office.

5. Follow instructions exactly.

Bella Medical Products has many happy patients of all Skin Types who use our products regularly.

We’ve created a protocol that supports your process and results. Please be sure to read each step in the patient take home booklet and follow the recommendations.  It is essential to use both Post Peel towelettes at home.  It is equally important to use plenty of SPF beginning day two, and to use our special post peel moisturizer once the peeling begins.

It’s essential to protect your skin from irritation during the exfoliation process, so no harsh products, AHA’s or tretinoin, hot water, scrubbing or clarisonic brushes.  DO NOT pull at or remove peeling skin as this can cause scaring.  Be patient!  The dead skin will slough off when you wash your skin. The results will be worth it!

If you’re not sure about something, or have any concerns, please call your provider directly for advice. While we’re happy to hear from patients at the corporate office, we cannot give medical advice over the phone, so please contact the medical professional who performed your peel for personalized follow up care. 

6. Avoid any important work or social plans on Days 3-6 post peel.

“Day 1” is the day of your peel appointment.  Most patients look fine, if a bit sunburned, on the day of the peel, though they sometimes feel minor irritation.  On Day 2, the skin may feel sensitive and tight, but make up can be used to hide any pinkness or blotchiness.

Most patients peel visibly on Days 3-4 or even days 3-6, especially first timers, so it’s not the best time to go on a first date or make a major sales presentation at work.

Instead, have your girlfriends over for dinner, a movie or game night, or curl up with that great book you’ve been meaning to finish.

Since your skin will be more sensitive to the sun for at least a couple of weeks, don’t plan a peel right before a tropical getaway or other sunny destination vacation.

If peeling before an important reunion, wedding or other event, we advise having your peel 2 weeks or more before your event – even longer if it’s YOUR wedding!

7. Protect your skin and prolong your Peel Treament results with the right products.

To ensure the best possible results and avoid hyperpigmentation, be extra vigilant with  daily use of a broad spectrum SPF the first week post peel, and ideally for life.  Make up with SPF added is not adequate protection.  This is the single most important thing you can do to enjoy healthy, beautiful skin for life, at any age.  Remember to apply a generous amount of SPF 30 or above before leaving the house.
