How to properly prepare for facial peels and undergo rehabilitation after them

The stages of preparation for a cosmetic procedure and rehabilitation after it are often perceived by patients and even cosmetologists as not very important moments in which quality skin care can be neglected. However, facial peels and other treatments must be carried out on well-prepared skin in order to get the expected response from it. And the ability to prevent unwanted complications often depends on the quality of rehabilitation care. Nadezhda Kroshka – shared her thoughts on preparing for facial peels with readers of estet-portal.com expert of the company "Laskos", cosmetologist, maxillofacial surgeon.

Facial peeling procedures require careful preparation

Very often, when conducting seminars, I hear insistent wishes from specialists to reduce the cost of the procedure by means of pre-preparation for peeling procedures and rehabilitation after them, or by replacing them with cheaper analogs or pharmacy products…. I take the opportunity to reply to anyone and everyone.

This is, firstly, unprofessional, and secondly, such a "cheapening" will cost more. You will either fix complications for free, or you will lose a patient. Any self-respecting company, conducting clinical trials of its line, specially creates products that accompany the procedure. And only on the basis of their use in such responsible programs as peeling, the company declares a predictable positive result.
I would like to focus today on the means of pre-training and rehabilitation offered by Laskos" and TM Mesoestetic.

Means for preparing for facial peeling and accompanying the procedure

Glycorepair – universal booster containing in its composition glycolic acid and a complex of plant extracts. It is prescribed to patients 10-14 days before the first salon surface peeling procedure.  Stimulates cell renewal, thickens and moisturizes the epidermis, normalizes the process of keratinization and sebum secretion.
Do not forget that from the moment of pre-training, it is necessary to prescribe SPF protection to patients. TM Mesoestetic offers Moisturizing sun protection SPF 50 (moisturizing sunscreen) and Dermatological sun protectin SPF 50 (dermatological sunscreen).

Resurfacing peel booster – means of pre-preparation and maintenance of the peeling course when working with problem skin (acne, seborrhea, hyperkeratosis).  

The product contains salicylic, glycolic acids. Works as a keratolytic, regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, the quantity and quality of sebum produced. It is prescribed to patients 10-14 days before the first in-salon superficial peeling procedure.

Brightening peel booster – depigmenting booster used in peeling programs aimed at depigmentation. Contains glycolic and phytic acids. Evens out the texture and color of the skin, tightens the epidermis. It is prescribed to patients 10-14 days before the first in-salon superficial peeling procedure.

Proper rehabilitation after facial peeling – guarantee of a positive result

And, of course, a thinking specialist should understand the importance of the rehabilitation period in a peeling course. Especially when it comes to medium or deep peels. Fast-skin repair post-procedure cream will help to pass this period correctly, to get out of it with the expected positive result.
This product is a balanced nourishing and moisturizing cocktail. It has a healing and analgesic effect. Does not prevent or promote the process of peeling. Thus, it will make it possible to go through this process as naturally and comfortably as possible for the patient. When carrying out medium and deep peels, it will allow you to get out of the rehabilitation period without complications (such as scarring, pigmentation).

A special universal remedy for facial peels

I would like to pay special attention to a tool that a specialist can work with in his office and that a patient can use when preparing himself for peeling and maintaining the result of the peeling course. So, I bring to the attention of experts 1% retinol concentrate.

This concentrate will perfectly complete the procedure of any salon peeling (both monopeeling and peeling cocktail). It will add a wonderful lifting effect for aging patients and will help in peeling protocols for problematic skin. Promotes rapid skin regeneration and the process of neocollagenesis.  

Also, this concentrate can be prescribed as a pretreatment agent for age-related patients with sagging skin, fine-wrinkled type of aging, patients with acne. As a pre-treatment, it is prescribed 10-14 days before the first salon surface peeling procedure.  

And in conclusion of today's topic, I would like to wish specialists to remain professionals, not to be led by patients who want to save on medical and aesthetic procedures.  The patient does not always understand the importance of this or that stage. The specialist must be able not only to perform the procedure technically competently in his office, but also to be sure that the patient’s skin is properly prepared for the procedure, and that a person who decides on a peeling course has all the important tools in home care.  

Love your patients, choose the best for them and enjoy your work.
