SKIN RESURFACERS & PEELS

Please follow the instructions below to prepare:

• Use of AlumierMD home care products prior to your peel may be recommended to prepare the skin, allow for better treatment results and reduce the risk of complications. This will be discussed at your initial skin consultation.

• It is recommended that you take the following into consideration:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before and after your treatment

• Avoid the use of retinoid products (eg. retinol, Retin-A®, Tazorac®) and high levels of AHA and BHA products for approximately 7 days prior to the treatment.

• Makeup will need to be removed prior to treatment, so please come ‘fresh faced’ if possible.

• Alumier MD skin treatments result in minimal to no downtime but create dramatic and visible results. Treatments can cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness. Most patients do not find it necessary to apply makeup, as the skin will be smooth, dewy and radiant following your treatment.

You will receive a post-procedure kit after your treatment, these skin care products need to be used for 5 to 7 days post-treatment in the following order.

A.M. ROUTINE

• Step 1: SensiCalm Cleanser

• Step 2: Recovery Balm

• Step 3: Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen

  P.M. ROUTINE

• Step 1: SensiCalm Cleanser

• Step 2: Recovery Balm

• Discontinue use of any product that irritates your skin and contact us for advice.

  POST SKIN PEEL TREATMENT TIPS

• It is unlikely that you will ‘peel’ with an AlumierMD peel. Mild to moderate flaking in a few localised areas is normal and can last 3-7 days. Some patients experience residual redness that lasts approximately 1-12 hours

• Avoid makeup for 12 hours post treatment

• Avoid direct sun exposure for 14 days post treatment and wear spf of at least 30.

• Important: Keep your skin hydrated. Hydration is key to proper healing.

• DO NOT cleanse your skin in the evening of your peel or treatment or pick any flaking skin

• DO NOT have electrolysis, waxing, threading or any other form of hair removal for 7 days post-treatment

• DO NOT use facial scrubs, mechanical forms of exfoliation, retinoic acid, AHA or BHA for 14 days post peel

• DO NOT have laser hair removal, photo-facials, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 14 days post-peel.

• DO NOT apply ice or ice water on the treated area

• DO NOT use hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and/or excessively hot showers for 2 days post-peel.

• DO NOT go swimming or participate in aerobic exercise for 2 days post-peel.

• If you develop severe redness, swelling, blistering, ulcers, pain, or signs of infection then please get in touch immediately.
