PRO POWER PEEL CAUTIONS

Chemical peels are an excellent treatment choice for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne to hyperpigmentation, to advanced signs of skin aging. Most peels work in the same way: they remove the skin’s outermost layers to stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover, improving skin’s texture and appearance.

Pro Power Peel is an advanced treatment. It is recommended for those who want to take their skin to the next level and are already following a complete and consistent skin regimen that includes cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing. You will achieve better and longer-lasting results when your skin is in balance and has a strong barrier function to accept more active ingredients.

  1. Recent resurfacing skin procedures such as laser, light therapy, microdermabrasion, or chemical peel within the past 2 weeks
  2. Botox or other injectables within the past 2 weeks
  3. Isotrentinion (Accutane) in the past 6 months
  4. Facial waxing within the past 72 hours
