What can you expect during treatment?
The protocol is slightly different for the face to the body; the CMED preparation treatment prepares the skin for treatment on the face, which includes a carbon, salicylic mask to degrease the skin. The peel will feel tingly, possibly warm on the skin depending on your sensation levels.
For the body the area is degreased and then the peel is applied, some areas feel very little sensation, others can feel tingly.
Once the peel is removed, the skin can look tighter and feel tighter, aftercare serums/moisturisers are applied as well as SPF. It is important to wear a broad spectrum SPF daily as part of your skincare regime to promote results and prevent further damage to the skin.
The skin may continue to feel tight and some flaking/dryness may occur as the dead skin cells come away after the treatment. This can continue for a few days but doesn’t always happen.
On the body, the skin is degreased with a solution and the peel applied for a period of time. Some areas can be more tingly than others. Once the peel is removed a moisturiser is applied.
The skin will need to be moisturised post treatment to help with hydration and tightness. It will also help the skin to recover. Dryness/flakiness/peeling can occur a few days after treatment and can go on for a few days until the dead skin comes away.
