How will I look during the peeling process?
The First Day
Immediately after the first application of the special Skin Renewal cream or paste, the skin will be
normal aside from redness which is like strong sunburn. This cream/paste is harmless to the hair
and therefore will not affect the eyebrows. If the cream/paste accidentally gets into the eyes, there is
no danger. The eyes can be washed out with plain water. Of course the cream/paste as with any
foreign body in the eye will be unpleasant.
You cannot wash or wet your face, neck or any area to which the peeling has been applied, for the
duration of the peeling process (One week). During this period, refrain from using such products as
hair dye, hair spray or make up. No other product may be used on the treated areas except the
special lubricating “Soothing Cream”, which will be provided to you. The Soothing Cream is to be
used on and around the areas on which you have had the Skin Renewal treatment. Bath rather than
shower. It is imperative to not wet your skin.
The Second Day
There is a second application of the Skin Renewal peeling cream. The skin will start to darken and
will gradually take on a deep sun tanned appearance.
At Home Care

The Soothing Cream should be applied at home continually until the treatment is completed which
is approximately seven days after the first application. The application of the Soothing Cream
should start straight after the first application of the peeling. Keep the skin continually covered not
smothered with this cream reapplying whenever it has penetrated the skin. This will keep the skin
soft and moist and ensure the easy removal of the top dead cell layers. You need to use a broad
spectrum sunblock.
Please Note
During the treatment you may go out, but you MUST protect yourself from exposure to the sun for
at least 3 months post peeling. Wear a large hat outdoors, sunglasses and a silk or light cotton scarf
to protect your neck. Take particular caution whilst driving in a car. The sun is intensified through
glass, so protect the sides of your face as well as your neck, with a scarf. Limit time spend outside to
the cooler part of the day. During the winter, protect your face from the cold and wind with a light
woolen scarf across your cheeks.

The Skin Renewal treatment is completely harmless, however the unpleasant aspects of the
treatment are:
1. For about 20 to 30 minutes after the application of the Skin Renewal treatment cream, you
will feel a stinging sensation which disappears slowly giving way to a new numb-like
sensation. The use of a fan will ease the stinging.
2. The ugly skin appearance with dark and white patches of uneven coloring during the
process will disappear as the top dead cell layers are removed.
3. Allergy. An allergic reaction to the Skin renewal treatment can occur with redness and
swelling of the face and eyelids along with itching.
Should this happen, call our office immediately. There is absolutely no need to panic. The
allergy is localized and temporary and is easily dealt with by the use of anti histamines.
4. If pimples are already present on the skin, an increased breakout maybe expected. This is
because the Skin Renewal treatment will help to bring to the surface the hidden infection and
impurities in order to facilitate their removal.
5. The delicate skin around the eyes will take a little longer to peel away so for about two
weeks, the skin around the eyes appears very dry.
6. In the darker skins, the color normalization will take a little longer than in fair skins.

The Third to the Eight Day.
By noon on the third day, the skin will become very dark, may swell and wrinkle on the
surface. You will experience a tight pulling sensation over the entire treated area. This will
be the most unpleasant day of the treatment.
Your face will not hurt, but because of the tightness, you will find difficulty eating, talking,
laughing and moving the face. Drinking using a straw is sometimes helpful.
Avoid sunglasses pressing down on the sides of the nose if at all possible. Do not be afraid to
move your facial muscles gently.
At the end of the fourth day, the skin will start to peel and will continue for about four days.
The process will begin around the mouth and eyes. The last area to clear will be the cheeks
and forehead. The neck will take a little longer.
DO NOT PULL OFF THE SKIN.

Keep applying the Soothing Cream, by PATTING gently so as not to rub the skin off
prematurely.

If you feel the slightest unpleasant sensation on your face or neck as you do this, it means
that the piece of skin is not ready to come off and should be left in place. Pulling the skin off
before it is completely ready will lead to skin irritation, post inflammatory pigmentation,
blotches and the clearing of impurities will not be as successful.
The in-clinic removal will be on day 8.
