Power Resurfacing Peel

What is the difference between the Pro Power Peel and the Power Resurfacing Peel?

​

The Power Resurfacing Peel is a more intense peel, implementing a form of exfoliation at every step. It is an AHA concentrated treatment along with a complex of enzymes and peptides to boost exfoliation to leave you with a smooth complexion that allows for better product absorption.

How do I care for my skin post Power Resurfacing Peel?

​​​

1. Immediately after treatment we will apply a broad spectrum SPF to your skin. SPF must be applied daily and avoid direct sun exposure for 2-3 weeks and wear a wide brimmed hat when out in the sun

2. Avoid working out or excessive sweating the day of treatment and avoid prolonged exposure to heat sources such as saunas or steam rooms

3. On the night of treatment, cleanse your face with cool water and use the customized sample kit we provide you with at your appointment 

4. Increase your fluid intake for the next 2-3 days to maintain hydration

5. You may experience slight peeling a few days after your treatment, this is completely normal. Do NOT pick or peel at the loose skin as this may cause discolouration and hyper-pigmentation, allow the skin to shed naturally. 

6. Avoid any type of physical exfoliation or chemical exfoliating (AHAs, BHAs, Retinols, etc) products for 3-4 post treatment. 

7. Avoid wearing make up for 24 hours

8. Can apply moisturizer throughout the day if needed with the moisturizer recommended and provided at time of appointment
