Before- and aftercare Photo Peel (IPL i.c.w. TCA peel)
Before treatment
Preparation of the skin using Dermaceutic products should be started 4 weeks before the treatment.
Men may shave their face up to 24 hours before the treatment. After that, no more.
The treatment should not take place on sun-tanned skin.
Sunscreen with SPF30/50 should be applied regularly; 6 weeks before to 4 weeks after treatment.
No tan without sun cream should be used until 4 weeks before the treatment.
You must not have a cold sore on the day of treatment. In that case, we will make a new appointment.
Please come to the appointment without makeup.
After treatment
After treatment, do not exercise, swim or go to the sauna for 48 hours.
On day 2 after treatment, your skin sometimes begins to flake. This is a desirable reaction and lasts up to 5 days.With a TCA peel, this flaking can be more severe and last at least 7 days.
Do not scratch skin sheets/crusts, this will prevent scarring.
Until 2 weeks after the peeling, it is better to avoid the sun or tanning beds, because your skin is fragile. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30/50 regularly.
Do not scratch skin sheets/crusts, this prevents scarring.
Until 2 weeks after the peeling, it is best to avoid the sun or tanning beds, because your skin is fragile.
For 3-5 days after the peeling, cleanse your skin in the morning and evening only with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry.
For the first 5-10 days after treatment, do not use irritating skin care or medication creams until your skin feels normal and is no longer red.
Until a few days after treatment, you can use the post-treatment cream from the clinic or a very mild skin care product. Do not apply too much and not too often so that you do not counteract the flaking process.
You may camouflage your skin immediately with the breathable Jane Iredale makeup (available in our clinic). This mineral makeup contains no perfumes and parabens and allows the skin to breathe.
Contact us if your skin blisters or still feels extremely swollen, red, itchy or burning after 3 days.
