What should I do before my PCA treatment?
Before your skin peel, you’ll discuss with a doctor or specialist trained in PCA Skin products. This could be weeks before the treatment and closer to the time of peeling off those layers! You may need to apply some personal care items for optimal results- try not to wash that area too much until it's done so as anything will irritate an irritated surface more than if t was clean already.
What can I expect during my PCA peel?
Rest assured, this is one procedure you don’t have to worry about! Your Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center skin care professional will first cleanse the area. They will then apply a chemical solution that has been diluted for your particular needs and sensitivity in order to reduce any potential discomfort from chemicals on sensitive areas like delicate facial features. It's never too early to start getting these treatments so we recommend starting as soon as possible after noticing signs of aging such us wrinkles around eyes which could be caused by sun damage (even if they haven't appeared yet).
What should I do after my PCA peel treatment?
Your doctor or skin specialist will give you instructions on how to care for your skin immediately after the procedure, such as how soon you may wash your face after the chemical peel and what products to apply. Be sure to follow these instructions.
Superficial chemical peels from PCA Skin may require very little following the procedure. Your skin specialist may even allow you to apply makeup 15 minutes after the procedure to cover up skin flaking or redness.
Within the first 2 days of your procedure, you should avoid:
- overheating
- hot showers, baths, and other hot steam
- hair dryers near the treated area
- swimming
- activities that result in a lot of sweating
- exfoliating the treated skin
- icing or heating the treated area
You should avoid direct sun exposure in the 1 or 2 weeks following the peel. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more, and don’t use a tanning bed within 2 weeks.
Delay other skin treatments near the affected area for 5 or more days.
You should also use any products following the procedure as recommended by your skin specialist. They’ll determine the most effective combination of products for your skin type. This may include a gentle skin cleanser and a noncomedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen.
Discuss medications you take with your skin specialist to ensure your safety and reduce the chance of a reaction following your procedure.
