ABOUT YOUR PROPEEL

Skin peeling is an exfoliation designed to remove superficial layers of skin. It is used to help "flush out" active acne, to reduce wrinkling and scarring and to lighten blotchy brown spots. Vivant Pharmaceuticals is pleased to have been the pioneer in making this technique available to you. We recommend that you begin preconditioning your skin with the Vivant skincare program 4 to 6 weeks prior to the ProPeel.

Read the skincare instructions carefully before the ProPeel, so if you have any questions they must be answered prior to the peel. Please come into the office without make-up. Your face may be slightly more reddish or brownish immediately after treatment. In most cases, peeling usually occurs between the second and the third day following the treatment. The peeling reaction begins around the mouth and then moves across the face like a wave. It is usually completed at the hairline in one week.

As you repeat the ProPeel treatments, they are usually spaced at four week intervals. The number of treatments required for any given problem varies and is determined by you and your skincare consultant. Also, the number of coats of solution will vary with the skin type. It is impossible to know in advance how much peeling will occur but if you note the amount of peeling you have after each session; future ProPeels can be adjusted to suit your needs. There is no limit to the umber of ProPeels each person can receive as long as improvement continues.

REMEMBER: prior to and after the ProPeel drink plenty of fluids to flush out the system.

You may continue to wear make-up following the ProPeel treatment. However, therapeutic topicals such as Retin-A, Derm-A_gel, Exfol-A and Exfol-A Forte should not be applied for 15 to 20 days following the ProPeel.

FOR ACNE PATIENTS:

The procedure exfoliates the impacted pores and unroots pustules. This benefits your appearance. However, as these impactions evacuate, you may experience a temporary flare in your acne condition. This is normal and a special extraction session may be scheduled for you.

MOISTURIZERS:

Post ProPeel you are going to need moisturizers to help you pass through the several days of dryness following your ProPeel. Your skin is very sensitive at this stage of new skin development, so only use the moisturizers suggested by your therapist.
