What is the Downtime?
Following your peel you may be slightly pink, this is completely normal and will improve over the course of the day.
Around 5-7 days following your peel you may experience mild peeling, this usually lasts 2-3 days. We use a 'non peel - peel' , which limits noticeable peeling but still gives maximum results, rest assured your dead skin has still peeled but in a more delicate gradual less noticeable way.
Following your peel we recommend using SPF 50 for 1- 2 weeks as your skin is more vulnerable to the sun. We also advise to try and keep your face away from direct sunlight and avoid sunbeds for 2 weeks.
BioRePeel is an innovative two phase Medical Only peel with bio - stimulating, revitalising effects.
It is a 35% TCA peel, a TCA treatment is among the most effective peels available.
This peel also provides Amino Acids and vitamins, which are delivered deep into the dermis to feed the fibroblasts in your skin. Feeding Fibroblasts is vitally important. We need to feed them the correct nourishment in order to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
We recommend a course of peels spaced 2 weeks apart, amount of sessions required depends the individuals skin complaint. Usually 3-4 sessions are adequate to improve issues such as hyperpigmentation and scarring.
If you have no specific skin complaints and just want to bring some life back to your skin and get your Glow back, then one session is adequate for a general refresh.
