Post- Peel Instructions:

Days 1 – 2:

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

• The day of the peel application is “Day 1.” The peel solution should remain on the treated areas for at least 6
  hours.
• During the first 6 hours, do not wash, touch, rub, or apply make-up to the treated area.
• The Perfect Derma Moisturizer with 1% hydrocortisone (included in Patient Home Care Kit) may be used after 6 hours if:
  • The skin feels excessively irritated
  • Patient is Fitzpatrick Type 4-6 or has melasma or hyperpigmentation
  • Either Perfect Derma booster was added to the peel treatment
  
• If you are not experiencing any irritation or discomfort, the peel solution can remain on until your evening
  cleansing or it may be left on overnight.

Day 2 (AM):

• Gently wash and dry the treated area.
• Vigorously apply the 1st Post-Peel Towelette to the treated areas. Let
  dry thoroughly.
• Towelette solution should be left on for 30 minutes before applying an SPF 30 or above.
• Makeup may be applied if desired.

Day 2 (PM):

• 30-60 minutes before bedtime, gently wash and dry the treated area.
• Vigorously apply the 2nd Post Peel
  Towelette to the treated areas.
• Leave the solution on overnight.
• If you are experiencing excessive irritation or
  discomfort, apply a small amount of The Perfect Derma Moisturizer 2-3 times daily.
• You may also apply a cold
  compress against the irritated area for relief.
• If there is no significant irritation, do not use any moisturizing
  products on the treated areas until peeling begins (usually Day 3).
• Avoid excessive sweating, sauna or heavy
  exercise during peel process.

Days 3-6: Peeling generally begins on Day 3.

• After peeling begins, apply The Perfect Derma Moisturizer (included in the Patient Home Care
  Kit) to the treated areas 2-3 times a day to control the peeling and relieve the tightness.
• This moisturizer should be used for 1-2 weeks for Caucasian patients and 2-3 weeks for Asian,
  Hispanic and African American patients.
• If The Perfect Derma Moisturizer runs out, a 1%
  hydrocortisone cream may be substituted.
• Do not rub, pick or pull on the peeling skin, let the
  peeling occur naturally. Rubbing, picking or pulling may cause scarring.
• Gently wash (do not scrub) and dry the treated area morning and night, and apply The Perfect
  Derma Moisturizer as needed. An SPF 30 or above should be applied every 2 hours during sun
  exposure.

Days 7 and After: The peeling process is generally complete.

• Mild sloughing may still be occurring in some treated areas. Continue to protect the skin with
  an SPF 30 or above.
