peeling, flaking or temporary dryness. Most patients do

not find it necessary to apply makeup, as the skin with

be smooth, dewy and radiant following your treatment.

Discontinue use of any product that irritates your skin and contact Dr N.

What to expect:

You should not necessarily expect to ‘peel’. However, you may have light to moderate flaking in a few localised areas for 3 to 7 days.
You may also experience residual redness, which lasts in most patients from 1 to 12 hours.
The evening of treatment your skin will feel tight and ‘pulled’. Although you may or may not actually ‘peel’, it is likely that you will experience light ‘exfoliation’.
It may take 2 or more treatments to target the deeper layers of skin to loosen and ‘peel’. Courses of 6 are recommended, a minimum of two peels is required for any effect. You will need an assessment after your course of peels.

Shaving should be avoided until peeled and healed.
Important: Keep your skin hydrated. Hydration is key to proper healing.
Wear SPF regularly and avoid UV exposure.
Follow after care instructions and use the Post Peel Recovery Kit.
Multiple treatments are required for a guaranteed result.
Trust the process.
