PRE-PEEL
PROCEDURE: PREPARE THE SKIN
Two
weeks prior to the peel procedure, cleanse twice daily with the
NeoStrata® Facial Cleanser. Following cleansing with the application
of one of the NeoStrata® creams, lotions or gels that contain
glycolic acid. Since the goal is to acclimate the skin to glycolic
acid prior to the peel, the use of glycolic acid home care products
is recommended.
Upon
arrival to the office, patients should wash with the NeoStrata®
Facial Cleanser to remove make-up and surface oils. Hair should
be secured off the face using clips or a surgical bonnet.
Remove any eyewear
including contact lenses.
Thoroughly
cleanse the skin using the NeoStrata® Optimal Pre-Peel Cleanser
to remove any residual skin debris and prepare the skin for the
peel. The Optimal Pre-Peel Cleanser will remove lipids and cellular
debris as well as bring the skin to a uniform pH level. Do not
rinse off the Optimal Pre-Peel Cleanser.
Apply petrolatum lightly
to any cuts or abrasions, upper and lower lip lines, creases
of the mouth, nose and eyes, and other areas in which the peel
solution may pool, using a small cotton-tipped application,
to protect these areas during the procedure.
Place
a fan about four feet from the patient's face to help keep the
skin cool during the peel procedure. Turn the fan on before applying
the NeoStrata® High Potency Peel solution.
