Instructions to follow prior to the treatment.
PREPARING FOR A PEEL
You will receive a skin care treatment on the day of your appointment. Please follow the instructions below to prepare yourself:
It is recommended that you use Alumier® home care products before your peel, to prepare the skin, enable better results and reduce the risk of complications. Please consult your physician or health-care professional for appropriate recommendations based on your skin type and condition.
Please note the following:
For best results and to reduce the risk of complications, we recommend using Alumier® home care products for 10 to 14 days prior to treatment.
If you are breast-feeding, pregnant or at risk of pregnancy, consult your physician before receiving any treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
Avoid using retinoid products (e.g. retinol, Retin A®, Tazorac®, as well as products with high concentrations of AHA and BHA) for about 7 days before treatment. Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing the use of any prescription medication.
Alumier® skin care requires little, if any, recovery time, yet offrent exceptional, visible results. The treatments may cause slight redness, tightness, peeling of the skin or temporary skin dryness. Most patients do not find it necessary to apply make-up, as the skin is smooth, fresh and radiant after treatment
