Pre/Post Advice

Prior to treatment you are required to receive a patch test. If a reaction was to occur that would happen within the first 20 minutes, however we suggest that at least 24 hours lapse from a patch test to ensure no contraindications will result.

We recommend you should prepare the skin with key Dermalogica products 2 or more weeks prior to treatments. Prior usage will reduce any irritation or adverse reactions, and will yield the best results.

ProSkin 30 treatments are ideal at increasing hydration levels pre-treatment, this encourages the treatments effectiveness. Ensure you haven’t been sunbathing at least 1 week prior to treatment.

Immediately after treatment; apply a broad spectrum physical suncream (minimum SPF30). Avoid direct daylight exposure for 2-3 weeks and wear a 3″ wide brim hat if going in the sun is necessary. Direct sun exposure must be avoided to prevent hyperpigmentation.

On the day of treatment; avoid strenuous exercise or prolonged exposure to heat sources such as dry saunas and steam rooms. Increased blood circulation to the face will cause an increased warming effect, which could lead to discomfort (prickling, itching, etc), redness, inflammation, swelling or other side effects.

On the night of treatment; rinse your face with cool water and a gentle cleanser such as UltraCalming™™ Cleanser, then moisturise skin with barrier-protecting moisturiser such as Barrier Repair. This will help soothe skin tightness.

Increase your fluid intake for 2-3 days after the treatment.

You will likely begin peeling within 2-3 days. This is normal. DO NOT pick or peel at loose skin. This may cause discolouration.

Avoid using any type of exfoliation product until directed otherwise by their Professional Skin

Continue to moisturise the treated area for the duration of the peeling process. Slightly thicker moisturiser such as Intensive Moisture Balance throughout the day can help maintain hydration and decrease the appearance of flaking.

Once peeling and redness subside; resume the regular Dermalogica daily routine that has been recommended by your professional skin therapist.

Performed by a highly-trained, highly-experienced Dermalogica skin therapist, this treatment works with the skin’s natural biology to yield enhanced benefits. Each treatment is completely personalised according to your Face Mapping® skin analysis, which helps determine which key active concentrates will be applied to your skin.

BioSurface™ Skin Peel works in sequential steps with the exclusive Biosurface Peel Application Method to synergistically and safely decrease surface roughness, treat breakouts, reduce fine lines and help minimise the appearance of hyperpigmentation in the epidermis and dermal-epidermal interface.

IonActive Serums are available in different concentrates they include:

• Retinol to firm and reduce visible signs of skin ageing.
• Niacinamide to control and prevent adult acne breakouts.
• Hyaluronic Acid to relieve dehydrated and/or sensitised skin.
• Oligopeptide to brighten hyperpigmentation for a more balanced skin tone.

After these actives are applied to the skin, they become “supercharged” with thermal activity generated by your skin therapist, who will use the latest technology to drive ingredients faster and farther into your skin alongside heating or cooling Gelloids (massage medium-masque hybrids)

If any of these contraindications are present the BioSurface Skin Peel cannot be performed. If the contraindication will clear within a few days or weeks the treatment can be rescheduled.
