The Perfect Derma Peel
The Perfect Derma Peel requires no pre-peel skin preparation. Patients may use a daily skin care
regimen of retinoids up to 3 days before the peel, but should discontinue use at this time. Patients
should refrain from using retinoids or glycolic products for 10 days post peel.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Patients who have open wounds, sunburn, infected skin, cold sores or lesions. Patients with a history
of cold sores (herpes simplex) may be given an antiviral 3 days prior to the peel
Patients who have recently had treatments such as waxing, electrolysis or chemical exfoliants
Patients with a history of an autoimmune disease or any condition that may weaken the immune
system
Please note: Do not peel more than two body areas in one session, and do not use more than two vials
of product in any one session.
Cleanse
For best results, the treatment areas must be thoroughly cleansed. Remove all make-up and cleanse
treatments areas. Next, apply 100% pure acetone solution with gauze pads and cleanse skin thoroughly.
Peel
Use caution when opening the peel vial, as the solution may spray/pop from pressure. Pour the peel
solution into the application cup. Using the included rough gauze square, apply The Perfect Derma Peel
evenly to the entire area to be treated. This first application will sting slightly and serve to numb the
treatment areas. The following applications will cause minimal discomfort upon application. Skin will
appear pink or red after the first layer. In some cases, you will see a light frost on the skin. The frost is
more likely to occur on damaged areas such as acne, scars or pigmentation.
If you notice that the treatment area displays a moderate to heavy (opaque) white frost, stop applying in
that area. To continue beyond a moderate frost may cause irritation especially for Asian, Hispanic or
African American patients. However, you may continue to layer the peel solution on areas without a
frost.
The solution can be applied to the eye lids and underneath the eyes, but avoid getting it in the eyes. If
you choose to peel the eye area, apply 1-2 light passes only. If any solution gets in the eyes, rinse eyes
thoroughly with water and saline.
On male patients, apply less solution over the beard area. When peeling a skin type 6 patient for the
first time, use 1 ml. less solution until you can judge the skins sensitivity.
Finish
The Perfect Derma Peel solution remains on the treated areas. The patient receives a Patient Take Home
Kit is reminded that the treated areas should not be washed or touched for at least 6 hours. The patient
should wear a hat on day one as no SPF will be applied post peel. The solution may be left on overnight
if there is no irritation and if a stronger result is desired.
Please note: All Peel products must be stored in a cool, dry place. Product has a 24 month shelf life if
stored properly.
The Perfect Derma Moisturizer with 1% hydrocortisone (included in Patient Home Care Kit) may be
used after 6 hours if:
If you are not experiencing any irritation or discomfort, the peel solution can remain on until your
evening cleansing or it may be left on overnight.
Day 2 (AM): Gently wash and dry the treated areas. Vigorously apply the 1st Post-Peel Towelette to the
treated areas. Let dry thoroughly. Towelette solution should be left on for 30 minutes before applying
Mineral Perfection/Tinted SPF 30 or an SPF 30. Make up may be applied if desired.
Day 2 (PM): 30-60 minutes before bedtime, gently wash and dry the treated areas. Vigorously apply the
2nd Post Peel Towelette to the treated areas. Leave the solution on overnight.
If you are experiencing irritation or discomfort, apply a small amount of The Perfect Derma Moisturizer
2-3 times daily. You may also apply a cold compress against the irritated area for relief.
If there is no significant irritation, do not use any moisturizing products on the treated areas until
peeling begins (usually Day 3). Avoid excessive sweating, sauna or heavy exercise during peel process.
Day 3-6
Peeling generally begins on day 3
After peeling begins, apply The Perfect Derma Moisturizer (included in the Patient Home Care Kit) to
the treated areas 2-3 times a day to control the peeling and relieve the tightness. This moisturizer
should be used for one week for Caucasian patients and two week for Asian, Hispanic and African
American patient. If The Perfect Derma Moisturizer runs out, a 1% hydrocortisone cream may be
substituted. Do not rub, pick or pull on the peeling skin, let the peeling occur naturally. Rubbing, picking
or pulling may cause scarring.
Gently wash (do not scrub) and dry the treated areas morning and night, and apply The Perfect Derma
Moisturizer as needed. Mineral Perfection/Tinted SPF 30 or an SPF 30 should be applied every 2 hours
during sun exposure.
Day 7
The peeling process is generally complete.
Mild sloughing may still be occurring in some treated areas. Continue to protect the skin with Mineral
Perfection/Tinted SPF 30 or an SPF 30.
