Preparing the skin for peelings – an important stage on which the effectiveness of the acid exposure procedure and the duration of the rehabilitation period depend.
This is especially true for patients, for example, with hypersensitive skin or acne of the second degree – in such cases, high-quality pre-peeling preparation plays a decisive role in the outcome of the procedure.
How to properly prepare the skin for acid exposure, in an interview for estet-portal.com tells the doctor of aesthetic medicine, trainer of Ukrainian Aesthetics Daniil Kashik.
Why do I need to prepare the skin for a medium peel
Proper preparation of the skin for peeling can increase the effectiveness of the procedure and reduce the recovery period in all cases, but the preparatory stage plays a special role when working with patients at risk, for example:
• with hypersensitive skin;
• with acne of the second degree;
• with rosacea.
Decrease in efficiency from the main procedure, prolonged rehabilitation period and, as a result, patient dissatisfaction – consequences of incorrect pre-peeling preparation or its absence.

To avoid this, at the stage of the initial diagnosis of the patient, it is necessary to qualitatively assess the condition of the skin in order to determine which preparation scheme will be most effective for a particular patient.
Preparation for medium peels should be started no later than two weeks before the main procedure.

Peculiarities of using acidic fluid before mid-peeling
14 days prior to the PRX-T33 median peel, it is recommended to prescribe to patients the WiQo acid fluid (marketed by by Ukrainian Aeshetics), which is based on glycolic and phytic acids. The fluid gently exfoliates superficial cells and creates a light acidic environment in the upper layers of the epidermis. Thus, the impact of the main procedure on the skin will not be so aggressive.
For example, in patients with rosacea or hypersensitivity of the skin without such preparation with the use of acidic fluid, the next day there may be an increase in rashes or persistent hyperemia, as well as a prolonged rehabilitation period and a significant decrease in the quality of skin recovery.
WiQo acidic fluid is applied to the face half an hour before bedtime; After 30 minutes, a moisturizer is applied to the skin.
This care scheme provides:
• enhancing the regenerative properties of the skin;
• skin hydration.
High-quality cleansing of the skin before medium peeling
One of the stages of skin preparation immediately before the peeling procedure is its cleansing with P Solution pre-peeling lotion. The composition of the drug includes glycolic, lactic, lactobionic, citric and phytic acids, which have a mild keratolytic effect and ensure uniform penetration of active ingredients into the skin.

Medium peeling in patients with hyperkeratotic, dense skin may not be very effective, but the quality of the procedure is noticeably improved by using P Solution.
P Solution is used after the main wash with a soft gel product: the face is wiped with a cotton pad dipped in a pre-peeling lotion. After that, they proceed directly to the PRX-T33-therapy or other procedure. Thus, P Solution is also indicated for use before contouring and laser procedures.
Skin protection against photodamage – an important step in preparing for peels
Another major aspect of properly preparing the skin for acid exposure is good protection against photodamage.
Therefore, preparations that protect the skin from ultraviolet exposure are prescribed not only in rehabilitation after median peels, before and two weeks before the procedure itself.
Rehabilitation after median peels: skin care scheme
Due to proper pre-peel preparation of the skin, at the rehabilitation stage, it will spend resources not on UV protection, but directly on building a new epidermis and neocollagenesis.
Thus, the use of acidic fluids containing low concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids, powerful moisturizing preparations with a high concentration of tocopherol acetate, as well as sunscreens will ensure maximum effectiveness of medium peels and rapid skin rehabilitation after traumatic procedures.
