Advice Prior To Treatment
Gearing up for a BioRePeel treatment? Let’s take a moment and walk through some handy tips to get your skin all set for the best possible outcome.
Preparing Your Skin: Imagine it like priming a canvas before you start a masterpiece – pretty important, right? Based on your skincare professional’s guidance, you might need to tweak your skincare routine a bit. Some products, particularly those containing vitamin A derivatives like retinol, might need to hit the bench for a while. They could increase up your skin’s sensitivity, and we don’t want that.
Avoid The Sun: Excessive sun exposure can leave your skin more susceptible to sensitivity, so, let’s keep those beach days and tanning bed sessions on hold for a couple of weeks leading up to your treatment.
Hydration: Remember that one secret weapon for radiant skin? Water! Staying hydrated is the golden rule of skincare. Picture your skin as a thirsty plant – water is what helps it thrive and bloom. So, make sure you’re gulping down enough water before and after your treatment.
With these simple, yet effective tips, you’re all set to get the most out of your BioRePeel treatment. Are you ready to reveal your skin’s true potential? Let’s go for it!
On The Day
The BioRePeel procedure is straightforward and involves the following steps:
- Skin Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. This ensures that the BioRePeel solution can effectively penetrate your skin. It will then be further prepped using the 4Ever Universal pretreatment kit which provides mechanical and chemical exfoliation alongside antioxidant action.
- Applying The Solution: The specialist will apply the BioRePeel solution to your skin using a special brush or applicator. The solution contains a unique blend of bio-stimulating, revitalizing, and peeling substances, including several acids (like trichloroacetic, citric, and salicylic), amino acids, and vitamins.
- Absorption: The BioRePeel solution is left on your skin to be absorbed. The active ingredients work by invigorating your skin cells, akin to awakening them from a deep slumber. The result is a virtuous circle of exfoliation, hydration, and collagen production. You may feel some mild tingling during this stage.
- Removal: Advance the clock to about 5 to 10 minutes – the conventional duration for the BioRePeel solution to enact its beneficial properties. The solution is carefully removed and following this, a gentle cleanse ensures a clean, refreshed canvas – your skin, primed and ready for its continued journey towards beauty and health.
Advice Post Treatment
Following the right aftercare procedure can help enhance the results of your BioRePeel treatment and minimise potential side effects. Here are some post-treatment instructions to keep in mind:
Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: It is essential to shield your skin from direct sunlight for several days. Consider it a crucial part of the recovery process, as if you’re offering your skin a much-needed respite. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of no less than 30.
Stay Hydrated: Keeping your skin hydrated aids in its recovery process.
Skincare Products: It’s best to avoid harsh skincare products or treatments for a few days post-procedure. This includes products with high concentrations of retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.
Do Not Pick or Scratch: You may experience some mild peeling or dryness after the treatment. It’s crucial not to pick or scratch your skin during this time to avoid scarring or pigmentation issues.
Healthy Lifestyle: A healthy lifestyle contributes to better skin health. Maintain a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep to support your skin’s natural recovery and rejuvenation processes.
Side Effects and Considerations
As with any aesthetic treatment, some minor side effects may occur:
Common Side Effects
Redness: After the treatment, you may notice some redness on your skin. This is a common reaction and typically subsides within a few hours.
Slight Swelling: Some individuals might experience slight swelling, especially in areas with sensitive skin. This should subside within a day or two.
Tingling or Mild Discomfort: During or immediately after the procedure, you may feel a tingling sensation or mild discomfort. This usually fades quickly as the skin begins to recover
Dryness and Peeling: BioRePeel promotes exfoliation, which can lead to dryness or peeling a few days after the treatment. This is a normal part of the skin rejuvenation process and should resolve within a week.
Skin Sensitivity: Your skin may be more sensitive following the treatment, particularly to sunlight. It’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for a few days post-treatment.
Uncommon Side Effects
In rare cases, individuals may have an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients used in the BioRePeel solution. If you experience severe or prolonged side effects, it’s important to contact your skincare professional immediately.
