Advanced Skin

What is a Pro Power Peel?
In a nutshell it is Dermalogica’s fastest and strongest peel yet!!
Offering a full suite of products and therefore the ability to create a custom peel for each client and your individual skin concerns.

in particular it allows us to treat issues such as:

•  Acne
•  Ageing
•  Fine Lines
•  Pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone

How does ‘A Chemical Peel’ work?
Chemical peels work by removing the outermost layers of the skin. The depth of the peeling is determined by the chemical agent used and the concentration, among other factors. Following a chemical peel, the deeper layers of the skin will respond by regenerating new skin and by increasing the production of collagen. Therefore, greatly improving the skins texture and appearance.

How is it different to other Dermalogica Skin Treatments?
It is Dermalogica’s most powerful resurfacing treatment to date, unlike any other professional treatment available.

It delivers visible results quickly without the adverse side effects of aggressive chemical peels. The flexibility of this treatment allows layering of the different peels within the collection to target several concerns in one hit.

Due to the advanced nature of this treatment. A course of treatments is required, with a minimum of three treatments, but ideally six, at regular intervals.

There are important pre-peel preparations and post treatment aftercare that must be strictly followed to achieve maximum results. These will be discussed with you prior to commencing your course of treatments.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my pro power peel treatments?
Once your skin care professional determines you are a candidate for the Pro Power Peel treatments, she may prescribe a Dermalogica product pre-treatment regimen specific to your skin condition. It is good practice to discontinue the use of prescribed exfoliants (such as Retin-A or Renova) at least 48 hours prior to, and during your course of peel treatments.

To receive the best possible results from this peel treatment it is imperative the skin is in a healthy state (e.g., cracked, or dehydrated skin can allow the chemical peel agents to penetrate quicker and further which can intensify stinging and burning and have an adverse effect.). Your therapist will assess your skin and provide information as to the best course of action in the lead up to your peel.

Is there any post treatment care I should be aware of?
Immediately after your Pro Power Peel treatment, it is normal for your skin to appear slightly red and flushed. As your skin goes through the renewal process you may experience dryness, redness, and tightness, as well as some peeling or flaking within a week. You may also notice a temporarily more pronounced appearance of pigmentation as it rises to the skins surface.

These side effects will subside quickly with proper post-treatment care, starting with the Peel After Care Kit.

You will need to avoid direct sun exposure for 2-3 weeks after your Peel treatment and wear a wide brim hat if you must be in the sun. Direct sun exposure must be avoided to prevent hyper-pigmentation.

Your dedication to post-treatment care will impact the results of Pro Power Peel treatments so ask our skin therapist for a fully customised Dermalogica skin care prescription to help ensure lasting results.

Any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

How It Works: Skin needling, a form of collagen induction therapy, involves creating tiny wounds in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing, boosting collagen and elastin production for younger, stronger, and brighter-looking skin.

Treatment Frequency: Typically 4-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results.

During Treatment: The procedure involves needles creating tiny wounds, which may cause some discomfort. The treatment is tailored based on individual skin conditions and goals.

Results Timeline:

• 13 days: Visible skin improvement.
• 2-4 weeks: Noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, fine lines, or scarring.
• 6-12 weeks: Most dramatic improvements.
• Post-Treatment: Expect redness and minor bleeding, similar to a mild sunburn, lasting 1-3 days. Specific post-treatment skincare products will be recommended.

Salon Policy: A consultation is required before advanced treatments if you haven’t had one in the last 12 months.

Contraindications: Include recent sun exposure, fake tan, certain medications, recent waxing or laser treatments, pregnancy, chronic illnesses, allergies, and certain skin conditions. A doctor’s note may be required in some cases.

4 Phases of Wound Healing: 

• Homeostasis: Blood clot formation and vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, leading to swelling, redness, and heat.
  
• Inflammatory Phase (1-3 Days): Critical for debris removal and growth factor release by neutrophils. Antioxidants and vitamins (ACE, copper peptides, Retinyl palmitate) are beneficial during this phase.
  
• Proliferation Phase (3-20 Days): Involves angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and epithelialization. The skin remains fragile and susceptible to UV damage.
• Maturative & Remodelling Phase (20 Days-2 Years): Transition from Type III to Type I collagen, with the wound contracting due to myofibroblast cells. UV exposure during this phase can weaken new collagen.
